the side judge clearly was blowing the play dead when the play was still going on,

But yet the refs huddle and decide to give the chiefs the ball on the recovery!?

I am getting tired of these ridiculous calls by the refs, especially when it comes to the chiefs.

100% is.

Was so obvious on the Denver blocked FG two weeks ago when multiple lineman literally just took a dive to let defenders through.

I suggest you go find some of the special teams players and coaches that broke down that play. They all came to the same conclusion independently that it was a result of preparation and execution. The Chiefs had been working on that tackle all game and when you see them point out the tiny act of the LT getting his hand slapped at the very beginning of the play that got him off balance and allowed all three defenders to just run over him it makes more sense. Sometimes nuance is hard to spot but makes all the difference in the world.
