Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1016 An unexpected start but a tail end
The air condensed briefly, and boiling waves of heat surged.

Levi stood on the sidelines of the court, watching this scene, helplessness and bitterness surging at the corners of his mouth.

Although he knows that injuries are part of the game, and although it is Fowles who is suffering from the injury at this moment, as a professional player, he still sighs and feels powerless whenever he sees an injury.

Houston. Berry. Lark. Smith.

And Watt.

Now, is it Foles' turn again?
Fowles was ready, ready to prove himself, ready to go all out, ready to fight to the end. However, before the first quarter was over, an accident occurred.

He died before leaving the army.

Everything that happened during this year's offseason is still vivid in my mind, racing through it quickly.

Levi let out a long breath, threw away the random thoughts in his mind, and prayed silently for Fowles.

However, there was no miracle.

Jones stood up, his hands on his hips, his usually expressionless face showing a look of frustration.

Soon after, the battery car entered the field, and with the help of the team doctor, Fowles sat on the trailer. His shoulders drooped slightly, and he tried his best but still couldn't control his frustration and disappointment, and even a hint of anger.

Fowles took a deep breath, raised his head again, and looked for Levi in ​​the crowd.

Fowles found it in an instant, without much effort.

Fowles straightened his back involuntarily and gave Levi a smile that was a little bitter and a little helpless. He spoke silently with his mouth.

"Feel sorry."

He kept fighting, working hard and persisting, and finally got the opportunity, but he was not able to stick to it. He didn't know whether he would have the chance to fulfill their promise in the future.

This scene weighed heavily on Levi's chest.

But Levi was neither discouraged nor sad. Instead, he smiled, held his head high and met Fowles' gaze, then raised his hands high to applaud Fowles.

They came on stage like warriors and left like warriors.

Pop, pop, pop.

Once, and again.

Then, other Kansas City Chiefs players noticed Levi's actions. Kelce was the first to join in, followed by Mahomes and Hill.

Everyone raised their hands high and applauded Fowles.

Facing a player like Miles, they don't mind showing off their ferocity like a rainstorm.

When facing a player like Fowles, they don't mind showing their warmth like spring breeze.

Pop, pop, pop.

The fans at Arrowhead Stadium also stood up one after another and applauded.

No boos, no insults, no jeers.

Completely different than what might be imagined, the Kansas City Chiefs showed a completely different side, displaying their respect and reverence with a standing ovation.

In the Old Oak Tavern.

Carter didn't react. He was ready to greet Fowles' departure with the worst ridicule and booing, just like he did with Myers, but he never expected to see a completely different side on the TV screen.

Carter turned around and was about to ask Felix what was going on.

Unexpectedly, Felix also raised his hands high and clapped them together with sincerity and enthusiasm, and the entire Old Oak Tavern joined in one after another.

with no exceptions.

Carter didn't understand why. In his short career as a fan, this was something he couldn't comprehend. But when he turned around and looked at the live broadcast again, something deep in his heart seemed to be stirring and ready to break out. Fowles was stunned.

He looked up and saw the red wave in front of him, cheering and applauding him for the first time in history, and then looked at Levi on the sidelines of the court.

Quietly, Fowles straightened his back and opened his shoulders again.

No matter what the situation is, he will face it calmly.

"At this moment, the red wave of Arrowhead Stadium did not show its sharp claws to its opponents, but paid high tribute with sincere enthusiasm."

"This is the demeanor and style displayed by the defending champion. It is undoubtedly the most special scene on the court."

“However, for the Jacksonville Jaguars, things are looking very bad.”

House seemingly endless rain.

First, they suffered a heavy blow from the Kansas City Chiefs' 70-yard long pass, then the main linebacker Myers was ejected from the field, and now the main quarterback has been unexpectedly injured and left the field.

The Jacksonville Jaguars experienced three black minutes and were in desperate situation.

It didn't take long before the news came -

Fowles left Arrowhead Stadium and went to the hospital for an in-depth examination. It has been confirmed that he will not be able to return to at least this game.

After the game, Fowles was examined and confirmed to have a fractured left clavicle and would need to rest for at least eight weeks.

Foles, who joined the Jacksonville Jaguars with great ambitions, suffered a heavy blow, which reminded people of Smith who joined the Washington Redskins last season.

By all accounts, Jacksonville is indeed stuck in an infinite quagmire.

Almost everyone thought that the Kansas City Chiefs were about to easily defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars and have a winning start to the season without any effort.

A potentially great game could have ended in an anticlimactic way.

However, reality proves in an absurd and comic way that anything is possible in the professional arena. Unless the game is declared over, the outcome will always remain in suspense.

Just like in the 2017 season opener, Levi emerged out of nowhere to help the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the defending champion New England Patriots, in today's game, a hero also emerged on the team responsible for challenging the defending champions, unexpectedly causing a sensation throughout the league.

Gardner-Minshew.

Born in 1996, he is in the same class as Levi, but Levi is already a junior, while he is a rookie selected in the sixth round with the th pick this year...a quarterback.

This young man reminds us of the real-life prototype character in the movie "The Dreamer", an ordinary person with limited talent but who always dreams of playing football.

Of course, Mingxiu's talent is still better.

Mingxiu is very smart. He entered Troy University with an academic scholarship, but he was not a starter on the football team. In order to play football, he transferred to a community college and won the championship in the same level in his first year.

Afterwards, Mingxiu kept moving between different universities, all in the end, just to get more game opportunities, but unfortunately the cruel reality made him hit a wall again and again.

Because of his love for rugby, he chose to continue his studies as a graduate student, receiving an academic scholarship, and continued to pursue his dream on the rugby field.

Last year, he received two graduate school opportunities, one from Levi's alma mater, the University of Alabama, and the other from Washington State University.

In the Crimson Tide, Mingxiu was worried that he might still not be able to play as a starter, so he finally chose the latter. The latter's coach was very optimistic about him and fulfilled his promise to let Mingxiu take over the starting position.

In the first season, Mingxiu proved himself:

He led the NCAA in pass completion percentage, and broke team records in both total yards and passing touchdowns, finally making a name for himself in the college arena.

At the end of the season, Mingxiu announced his participation in the draft. This older quarterback was also a hot topic in the rookie training camp, not only because of his age, but also because of his intelligence.

His Von der Lick test score of 42 points ranks second among all rookies this year.

Is Minshew the next Kurt Warner? A late bloomer?
