Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1125-Ambition
If he could live his life over again, Rogers would be willing to put aside his pride temporarily, show a different side of himself in the fourth quarter and compete for victory.

However, this is the worst part of reality. Life is not a game and you cannot load the file and start over.

then.

They were stuck here, a defeat, a defeat that was frustrating and angry, a defeat that was shameful and ugly.

For others, it's just a loss and there's no need to make a fuss. The Green Bay Packers have missed the playoffs for two consecutive years, and even with Rodgers it doesn't help. They have been squeezed out of the competitive NFC North and are no strangers to the bad situation of losing.

And now, the Green Bay Packers' season record is still seven wins and one loss.

It's not the end of the world.

Moreover, this is just a regular season game, the real key should be in the playoffs.

But for Rogers, it's more than that.

He is a leader of the Mesozoic generation, the youngest player among the four elite quarterbacks, he is hailed as the chosen one born for quarterbacks, he is considered the successor to the league's dominance after Brady and Brees retire, and his existence is a nightmare that the other 31 teams must be wary of.

From all aspects, he should be the best player in the league: his annual salary also proves this.

Unlike Prescott and Cousins, quarterbacks who are just getting by in the middle of the league but still get high salaries, Rodgers is truly the best in the league, with a salary that matches his ability.

However, after the 2010 season, the Green Bay Packers have never been able to advance to the Super Bowl again.

The team failed twice in the league finals in the 2014 and 2016 seasons, and the man who was supposed to take over the league has been unable to deliver satisfactory results.

In the eyes of Rogers, who thinks highly of himself, this is a shame, an utter shame.

He has been holding his breath, especially since McCarthy left this season. He is the only core of the team and deserves the focus.

His goal is the Super Bowl championship, but it's not just the Super Bowl, it's also a strong, perfect, and impeccable season.

Against the Kansas City Chiefs, Rogers believed that this was a game with no way out, a game that had to be won, and a game that declared his presence and belonging.

Be it Levi or Mahomes, their popularity is rising steadily, and they have become the leaders of the league. Seeing that the NFL is about to put the middle-aged players directly into retirement, and paying full attention to the younger generation, Levi has even taken a step further away from the title of the league's number one player.

GOAT?

Joke, a complete joke.

Rogers needs to beat them, needs to make his voice heard.

However, the result?
Not only did they lose, but they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs without Mahomes, and lost to the Kansas City Chiefs supported by Levi alone.

This...is unacceptable.

As a result, not only will his position in the league be further hit, but his position in the team will also be challenged.

Gutekunst has been trying to control him, trying to make him "part of the team," to tuck away his personality and brilliance, to join the ranks of mediocrity, and to convince him that this is the best way for the team to win.

But in his opinion, all of this is bullshit. The team still needs to rely on him to win in the end, right?

In the long run, Green Bay fans may be brainwashed by Gutekunst and then target him.

This is disastrous.

Perhaps, this is just a regular season game that has no decisive impact on the playoffs; but for Rogers, it is a devastating blow.

He needs to beat Levi, he needs to beat Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, he needs to win the Super Bowl again -

Even a rookie like Levi who knows nothing actually has two championship rings, more than him. This is unacceptable.

Over the years, Rogers has never been able to return to the Super Bowl stage and has been criticized and blamed; missing the playoffs in the past two seasons has plunged him into the lowest point of his career, but nothing is as bad as this year.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Green Bay Packers' last Super Bowl championship. The team has a new head coach, Rodgers is not troubled by injuries, the team's offensive and defensive lineups are relatively complete, Brees and Brady are getting older, and the league has entered an important turning point in the transition from old to new.

Everything is suggesting that this is an opportunity, this is a gap, and the opportunity is hard to come by and will never come back.

They—no, he had to take his chance.

If Rodgers still can't lead the team to the Super Bowl this season...

No, that's not acceptable.

As a result, the game against the Kansas City Chiefs started and ended unexpectedly, but the Green Bay Packers still lost the game.

An unprecedented sense of crisis gripped Rogers' heart, making it hard for him to breathe. It even overwhelmed the shame and anger, and his whole body was tense.

Outside the locker room, Gutekunst was asserting his authority.

"We should unite and work together. This matter stays here. You know it and I know it. I don't want other ears to hear it."

Adams looked left and right: There are so many ears, can he count them?
Then, the locker room door opened, and Rogers was finally willing to show up, sticking his head out and glancing at Gutekunst.

"Come on in. We still have to prepare for the press conference."

Everyone looked at Gutkunst, then at Rogers, without reacting.

Gutkunst's breath was stuck in his throat, but he knew the times and knew how to act.

Gutekunst waved his hand and all the Green Bay Packers players entered the locker room.

Rogers stood there, looking at Gutkunst coldly. Although the two men did not quarrel, the atmosphere was obviously tense.

Until Lafleur showed up.

Although Lafleur only joined the team this season, surprisingly, he is a man recognized by both Gutkunst and Rogers, and has become the most stable link in this triangle relationship.

Ultimately, both Gutekunst and Rogers are fighting for the right to speak and the initiative, while Lafleur, who is serving as a head coach for the first time in his career, has temporarily restrained his edge, which allows him to successfully occupy an advantageous position in the power struggle in the locker room.

Lafleur, "What's wrong?"

Gutkunst and Rogers both looked away, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

Gutkunst let out a long breath, "We need to go to the press conference. The press conference room is empty right now. This is an away game, and the rumors may have already spread."

Lafleur nodded, "Understood, we'll be out right away."

The straightforward answer made Gutkunst breathe a sigh of relief. He turned and walked towards the press conference room. He needed to stabilize the situation first.

Find an excuse.

How about...let's say there was severe water accumulation in the Kansas City Chiefs' visiting team locker room, and several Green Bay Packers players almost fell, which delayed the press conference.

Ha! Killing two birds with one stone, not only can it divert attention, but it can also secretly pit the Kansas City Chiefs, preventing them from enjoying the joy of victory.

Gutkunst thought this was a good idea.
