Chiefs Is Home Field Advantage Fading Across The NFL?

Heard a blurb this morning that either a record or close to a record has been set so far this year for road team wins.

Just some notables I have seen thus far this season...

Chiefs 1-2 at home
Baltimore gets blown out by Cleveland at Baltimore
Dallas get worked over by GB at home
Rams getting worked over by TB and SF at home

Right now Detroit appears to be working over GB @ GB but it is early

It seems like the home field advantage is starting to fade at least for the moment

I can tell you one thing. It for sure doesn't exist at Arrowhead stadium. Fact.

Yep.
There is no arrowhead mystique, it’s a myth,

That died during the Vermeil era. When we quit being a strong, defensive team that went away.

I would also be curious to see the penalties called home vs away. Feels like even if we were to have some advantage that it's negated by penalties.

Chiefs were the trend setters.

The advent of helmet microphones and silent counts killed any and all home-field advantages.

The only "home-field advantage" you'll see anymore is in New England where a team's radio signal mysteriously disappears during the game and hotel fire alarms are pulled in the middle of the night.

Officials dictate the avantage now.

Is that all it is?

I figured it’s a combo of millennials being buried in their phones and the rowdy fans being priced out. And old school fans getting fed up with the league.

If your theory is true, we should have had a very good home atmosphere circa 2014 and 15. Those were very solid defenses. One included a guy who basically tied the all time sacks record.

I do seem to remember a few loud prinetime games from those years.

We have to get it back.

The only advantage that matters in the NFL is if you have the “ref advantage.”

Does college football have these problems? I don't watch a ton of it but I don't recall seeing as much defensive holding, illegal contact, hands to the face, etc in college
