Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh didn't specify which call or calls bothered him in the Bengals' heartbreaking NFL Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

But he did blame officials in a tweet he sent.

"Give every game to the Chiefs rest of season," Houshmandzadeh tweeted. "Refs in their favor every game. Why play the game if we know results beforehand?"

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes benefited from a pass-interference call on 4th-and-16 against Bengals rookie defensive back Daijahn Anthony in the final moments of the game.

"That was PI," Houshmandzadeh added, via Twitter. "Let's see if that call gets made moving forward for other teams when it's 4th & long."

Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase drew an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty for yelling at Alex Kemp for reportedly not calling a hip-drop tackle against the Chiefs' Trent McDuffie.
