CINCINNATI — The Texans lost to the Chiefs on Saturday in Kansas City. They kept it close for most of the game, but ultimately lost 23-14.

Former Bengals running back Joe Mixon wasn't shy about criticizing the officials after the game.

"Everybody know how it is playing up here. You can never leave it into the refs hands. The whole world see, man," Mixon said.

There were multiple penalties that were questionable throughout the game. It's worth noting that former Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh agrees with Mixon.

"Why play the game if every 50/50 call goes with Chiefs," he tweeted. "These officials are trash and bias."
