Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1001 Centennial Season
The 2019 season marks the centenary of the NFL, and the league has arranged a series of celebrations.

One idea is that the league will select a special game every week and put it on Sunday night, not only for the league's most traditional game day this year, but also for the special moments in the league's history this year.

In other words, every Sunday night game this season will be historic.

For example, the first showdown of the Super Bowl era, the Green Bay Packers versus the Kansas City Chiefs, was scheduled for Sunday night in Week 8 of this season's regular season half a century later, witnessing a classic showdown.

Another example is the season opener.

According to convention, the season opener should be played by the defending champion at home to sound the horn of the new season. Coincidentally, the Kansas City Chiefs have been responsible for the season opener for two consecutive seasons, and this year should be the third year.

The league could easily schedule the first Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers as the season opener to continue the tradition.

However, this year marks the league's centennial, a historic year that commemorates not only the Super Bowl era, but the entire league.

After careful consideration, the league adjusted its schedule and chose a more meaningful game for the season opener.

During the long period of a hundred years, the league has witnessed the rise and fall of many teams. Not all teams have been able to withstand the test of time and survive to this day. Currently, among the 32 teams in the league, a total of three teams have gone through a hundred years of history with the league and witnessed all the ups and downs.

The Arizona Cardinals, founded in 1898, are the oldest and most established team in existence. They were originally founded in Chicago, and after several relocations, they settled in Arizona. They are one of the founding teams of the league.

The Chicago Bears, founded in 1919, were originally established in Decatur, Illinois, and later moved to Chicago. They are also one of the founding teams of the league.

The Green Bay Packers, founded in 1919, originated in Green Bay and still exist in Green Bay. However, this team in a remote town is not one of the founding teams of the league and did not join the league until 1920. So, strictly speaking, this year is their th season in the league.

There is no doubt that they are the oldest team in the league with the longest history. They carry the weight of a hundred years and have experienced the test of peaks and troughs. In this special season, the league certainly should not ignore them.

finally--

Season opener, "Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers".

Not only are these two teams with the longest history in the league, but the two teams in the National League North are also the oldest rivals in the league.

The grievances and grudges of the derby in the same district have lasted for a hundred years. Their history of confrontation is the history of the league, and is absolutely worthy of the sign of "100 Years of League".

What's more, the Chicago Bears recovered strongly last season under the leadership of new head coach Nagy and topped the NFC North, and their upward momentum is strong; the Green Bay Packers are looking forward to Rodgers' comeback after his injury. As the youngest member of the four elite quarterbacks, as long as Rodgers is healthy, the Green Bay Packers will be a strong contender for the Super Bowl.

Unlike the Arizona Cardinals who are stuck in the mud, the matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers has both historical weight and exciting game.

There is no need to hesitate too much about this decision.

then!

The league bravely broke with tradition and rescheduled its season opener.

Coincidentally, the Kansas City Chiefs have been on the opening night stage for two consecutive seasons, and the league is in desperate need of some different faces to bring a new look.

Of course, it is unknown whether Goodell has other plans behind the scenes.

For example, the current relationship between the league and Levi is no longer one of condescending charity and exploitation, but cooperation on an equal footing. So does the league need to strike a balance and no longer push forward with all its might without reservation as it did in the past two seasons?

Obviously, Levi's close relationship with Watt, Donald and other league leaders is not good news. What the league needs is not a single dominant player, but rather a balanced and flourishing alliance.

These considerations may exist or may not exist, and only Goodell himself knows the specific situation.

At least, to the general public, this opening game makes sense.

Collective carnival! The 2019 season kicks off with the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers.

Amid the hustle and bustle, both teams put on redesigned retro jerseys to commemorate the season a hundred years ago, witnessing the time go back, stepping onto the court and starting the showdown.

"10:3".

The final score was that the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears away from home.

The result of the game was a small surprise, as the Chicago Bears were unable to continue their strong performance from last season.

The course of the game was also a little surprising. It was supposed to be an offensive battle, but it turned out to be a defensive battle; and the Green Bay Packers, who were not good at defense, had the last laugh.

Everything subverts imagination and seems to indicate that this season will be extraordinary.

Although the game was dull, not exciting enough and below expectations, social networks were still bustling because of the retro jerseys and the centenary season.

Most importantly, the long wait is finally over and the new season begins.

Subsequently, the other fifteen games were staged.

Defending champion?

We still need to wait a little bit. Although we are not responsible for the season opener as usual, the defending champion is different after all. We are scheduled to appear in this season's memorable Sunday night game and be the center of the spotlight.

The Kansas City Chiefs' 2019 season begins with a match against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium.

A rematch of the 2017 American League Finals.

At this point, does anyone still remember that American League Finals?
However, after that game, the two teams embarked on completely different paths. The Kansas City Chiefs were on the rise and undergoing a comprehensive transformation, while the Jacksonville Jaguars fell off a cliff and fell into a dark abyss.

Last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who built the team on defense, were expected to continue their strong performance, but the reality was that they finished with five wins and eleven losses, and head coach Marjorie's second season fell apart.

This season, the two teams met again in the opening game, but things have changed.

However, Ma Ruo is still full of confidence.

Despite his cautious words, Maradona believes that the team is on the right track and they are confident facing any team, even the defending champions.

And the "king of trash talk" Ramsey spoke without any worries.

"I think the Kansas City Chiefs just signed him for that pretty face, and they put him in the window like a Barbie doll to get people to open their wallets for him, and that's the whole truth behind it."

“I don’t know. Maybe Brett Veitch has a thing for Barbie dolls.”

“I didn’t understand it, but I was shocked.”

Ramsey is still Ramsey, and his sharp mouth cannon never lacks ammunition——

The target of his words was directly aimed at Levi.

But this time, Ramsey unexpectedly won a lot of applause. Netizens expressed their agreement and even made it into emoticons, which spread again.

The reason is very simple:
Levi played for just two minutes in four preseason games and held the ball just four times. Is this not a Barbie doll or something else?
