The NFL announced its referee assignments for next weekend’s Divisional Round of the playoffs, and the Kansas City Chiefs are feeling quite good as they head into their matchup against the Houston Texans.
Clay Martin will ref the matchup between the Chiefs and Houston Texans on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC.
Clay Martin, who has been with the NFL since 2015 and a referee since 2018, has quite the track record.
Kansas City is a perfect 6-0 in the Patrick Mahomes era, and Martin’s refereeing gives the Chiefs an extra advantage in a contest where they are already huge favorites.
Barring a major surprise, many are expecting the Kansas City Chiefs to move to 7-0 with Martin and host another AFC Championship by this time next week.
Fans on social media are already calling the game “rigged.”

“Holding. Texans defense. 75 yard penalty, chiefs get 6 downs to try,” another joked.
Someone even accused the NFL of “sending in their best refs to save the chiefs.”
The winner of the Chiefs-Texans will face the winner of the Bills-Ravens game and those two teams will fight for the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
As for the other games, Ron Torbert will be on assignment for the Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions.
Shawn Smith will officiate the matchup between either the Los Angeles Rams or Minnesota Vikings against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Carl Cheffers will referee the marquee matchup of the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens.
