00:00Well, this sort of reminds me a little bit of the script, right?
00:02That I write a script, and I have the script for the entire season.
00:06Listen, you know, I think from a lot of those theories
00:10are things that happen in social media, and they get a new life.
00:14As you say, it's not your theory, but it's out there.
00:17Nobody wants it to be their theory.
00:19And so I understand that. I think it reflects a lot of the fans' passion.
00:24And I think it also is a reminder for us how important officiating is.
00:28And I think the men and women that officiate in the NFL are outstanding.
00:32They have the highest possible standards.
00:34That's a ridiculous theory for anyone who might take it seriously.
00:38But at the end of the day, you know, it's something we always have to continue to work on.
00:42How do we make our officiating better at all times?
00:45And if you look at the Chiefs' record, which I think is an amazing thing.
00:48People talk about the competitiveness of our league.
00:50The Chiefs, with their 15 wins, 15 and 2 this year,
00:5511 of those 15 games were within one score.
00:59And I think that talks about the competitiveness of our game
01:02and the importance of how we officiate it,
01:05but also the competitiveness of how we play it.
