Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been the center of attention heading into Sunday's AFC championship game showdown with the Buffalo Bills not only because of his level of play and his chase for NFL history, but also because some of the calls he has gotten from refs in big playoff games.
