With Friday being Halloween, there were people dressed up on the show. Brandt dressed up as an NFL referee.

Brandt took a picture of himself in a referee costume before going onto the show on Friday. There were a lot of fans who were trolling him about this costume. This is what some NFL fans had to say about his referee costume choice:
Flag on whoever is playing KC. Personal foul for not being KC.

Oh cool, you know how to throw the flag? You’re hired.

Everytime the Chiefs are mentioned you have to look the other way. Or act blind when tush push is mentioned.

Dressing up as the Chiefs this year I see

There is no doubt that more than half of these comments are directed towards the officials favoring the Kansas City Chiefs because quarterback Patrick Mahomes gets a lot of favorable calls. Another fan had a good comment about the tush push because the refs also don’t know how to officiate that play correctly for the Philadelphia Eagles.
It was certainly a choice for Brandt to dress up as a referee on Halloween this year. There is no doubt that refs will continue to get criticism throughout the rest of the NFL season, and it is understandable why he was criticized for that costume choice.
