Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The article contains biased language that portrays the penalty call as 'elementary school' stuff.

Mahomes slammed his helmet on the sideline and screamed at officials afterward. He said the penalty call was 'elementary school' stuff.

Remove the phrase 'elementary school' stuff and describe Mahomes' reaction objectively.

Provide a balanced perspective by including the reasoning behind the penalty call.

Sensationalism

The article uses sensationalism by stating that Reid and Mahomes were fined a combined $150,000.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid was fined $100,000 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $50,000 for criticizing officials following Kansas City’s 20-17 loss to Buffalo last week.

State the fines objectively without emphasizing the combined amount.

Provide context for the fines by explaining the NFL's policy on public criticism of game officials.

Omission of key information

The article omits key information about the offside penalty and the warning given to players.

Kadarius Toney clearly lined up offside on a play in which he caught a lateral from Travis Kelce and ran for what would have been a go-ahead score. Reid said officials normally warn players about being offside and called the penalty 'a bit embarrassing' for the NFL.

Include the details of the offside penalty and the warning given to players.

Provide a balanced perspective by including the NFL's stance on penalties and player conduct.
