Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots once again are going back to the Super Bowl, which, of course, means they either had to have cheated or received help from their friends in the black-and-white shirts.

The Patriots, as you know, defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-31, in overtime to advance to their third consecutive Super Bowl and ninth of the Brady-Belichick era.

Sunday’s game was filled with a number of momentum shifts, and the internet’s newest Patriots conspiracy theory is centered on the game’s biggest play.

With under a minute left to play and the Patriots trailing by four, Brady dropped back and threw a pass out wide to Rob Gronkowski. The pass clanged off the tight end’s giant hands and was picked off by Charvarius Ward, appearing to give the Chiefs the AFC title. Luckily for Brady and the Pats, Chiefs defensive end Dee Ford was lined up in the neutral zone on the play and the refs correctly threw the flag, giving the Patriots new life.

Enter the conspiracy theory.
