Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1066: Long-awaited Reunion

The Houston Texans have been the focus of the league for many years because they have a legendary defensive superstar. Almost every year, people ask:

When will the Houston Texans take the next step and bring Watt a championship ring?
Year after year.

One year, and another year.

With Watt sidelined for two consecutive seasons due to injuries, the league finally realized that the once invincible physical monster is also a mortal.

Maybe, Watt can't continue to fight for many more years; maybe, Watt can no longer run as wildly as he wants; maybe, time is running out for the Houston Texans.

Last season, the Houston Texans experienced all-round growth and made significant progress.

The Houston Texans have an excellent regular season performance and made it to the playoffs as the third seed in the AFC. A healthy Watt is still a beast, and the fast-growing quarterback Watson is becoming the backbone of the team. Coupled with the increasingly mature team tactical system, the Houston Texans do have the best chance.

However, fate played a joke again.

The Houston Texans lost to their division rivals, the Indianapolis Colts, in the wild card round, and it was a crushing defeat, 7:21.

A tragic defeat.

The league was filled with regret, and the cruelty of competitive sports was once again on display.

No one knows how long Watt can continue to maintain his peak form, no one knows whether Watson can grow into a top quarterback, and no one knows whether the Houston Texans can have a better opportunity.

A whole year's hard work and efforts have gone down the drain, and they have to start from scratch; however, the offseason and new season ahead are all unknown.

The start of the 2019 season has not been great for the Houston Texans.

In the opening game, the Houston Texans faced the New Orleans Saints, who reached the NFC finals last season. It was a tough battle.

But what's really bad is that Watt is just mediocre.

This was the first time in Watt's 105 career games that he had no tackles or quarterback hits. Watt, who used to sack quarterbacks as easily as eating and drinking water, was unable to effectively hit Brees in this game, not even once.

Data, blank.

In the end, after a hard battle, the Houston Texans lost to the New Orleans Saints by two points and unfortunately missed the chance to get off to a good start in the season.

This kind of thing is common in the NFL——

The teams that performed well last season, and even those that didn't need the Super Bowl finals stage, and all the playoff teams are no exception, may face severe tests next season, teetering on the high wire rope, and then ushering in a new season of disintegration.

In the NFL, continuity and stability have always been a test, and even advancing to the playoffs for five consecutive years is an arduous task.

Now, the shadow of the curse hangs over the Houston Texans again.

A loss, a sigh, the entire league is not optimistic about the prospects of the Houston Texans, without Watt as a pillar, they seem to lack some competitiveness -

Watson? Not quite.

However, the Houston Texans rebounded. Without having to wait for bottoming out to redeem themselves, the Houston Texans stepped on the brakes before continuing to fall.

A narrow win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a tough win over the Los Angeles Chargers, a difficult win over the Carolina Panthers, and an absolute win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Four consecutive wins!
It can be seen from the score and the situation that the situation was not easy, extremely, extremely difficult; however, the Houston Texans still withstood the test after all, gritting their teeth amid the chaos and turbulence, and fighting through one tough battle after another.

In fact, the loss to the New Orleans Saints was only a two-point difference. A truly mature team must not only be able to win a crushing victory, but also be able to win a tense victory within a single possession. The New England Patriots in their prime were like this. Maybe they were not the strongest and most perfect, but they were always able to overcome tough challenges.

Now, the Houston Texans are also showing these qualities.

With four wins and one loss this season, the Houston Texans firmly hold the top spot in the AFC South, a full-scale melee, and have seized the initiative in the playoff battle.

It’s difficult, but there is still hope.

More importantly, after an unprecedented slump in the season opener, Watt is back.

This was not easy, and there were still stumbling and bumps in subsequent games, but Watt demonstrated the qualities of an excellent player, finding his form in difficult situations and re-establishing his dominance. He demonstrated his mental strength and tenacity with practical actions and led the defense back on track.

One step, one footprint.

In the eyes of professionals, the more mature and resilient Houston Texans this season are even more difficult to deal with than last season, because they have the murderous spirit, the kind of murderous spirit that makes them stand in the endless darkness and fight to the death. The team is united from top to bottom and devotes themselves to every battle.

Perhaps, this year the Houston Texans can continue their hope.

In the sixth week of the regular season, the Houston Texans are about to face a severe test——

Head to Arrowhead Stadium to challenge the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Facing the Kansas City Chiefs is difficult enough, and facing Arrowhead Stadium is even more difficult. Reid has not lost at Arrowhead Stadium for two full years.

In the 2017 season, the Kansas City Chiefs went to Houston to challenge the Texans. In that game, Watt was injured and left the game at the beginning, and was then reimbursed for the season. In the end, the Houston Texans also lost to the Kansas City Chiefs led by Levi.

It is unbelievable that Levi has entered his third season in the professional league and he still has not completed a complete match with Watt.

This time, the opportunity has come.

"Levi VS Watt", the two are still the flagship figures of the NFL, and are finally about to have a head-on confrontation, which will be more talked about than last season's "Levi VS Donald".

After all, this is JJ Watt.

Moreover, the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs have some connections, and this game also has special meaning for the Houston Texans.

Assistant coach Romeo-Crennel.

The assistant coach now assists Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, and previously he was the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the 2011 season, when the Kansas City Chiefs fell into the dark days, Crennel was appointed to serve as the team's intern head coach in the last three weeks of the regular season and defeated the Green Bay Packers who had maintained an undefeated season, ending the opponent's hopes of replicating the New England Patriots' undefeated regular season in 2007.

As a result, Crennel became the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2012 season.

Unfortunately, with a dismal record of two wins and fourteen losses, Crennell lost his job. The Kansas City Chiefs entered the Reid era, and Crennell never got a head coaching job again.

After seven years, Crennel returned to Arrowhead Stadium.

For Crennel, is this a return home or revenge? Perhaps only he knows how he feels when he steps onto Arrowhead Stadium again.

For Watt, it has been a long time coming.

The same goes for Crennel.
