Could you imagine how much more talented players would have to be if the NFL was scripted? I could just imagine last weekend a script writer going, "Ok, Purdy you're going to throw an absolute bomb and I need you to hit the defender square in the facemask. Then Aiyuk, you're going to dive and catch the rebound off your fingertips."
The coordination required to do that on demand would be off the charts insane.
With that being said, the Chiefs sure do get some bullshit calls going their way, like in last year's Super Bowl especially. But I think that's less of an example of the NFL being rigged and more like sometimes refs unconsciously play favorites.
