Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1139 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Focus, hot spot, hot spot——

The Kansas City Chiefs remain the NFL's unique conversation-generating machine.

Whether you admit it or not, this team is becoming the center of the league. Every move they make can create waves and continuously generate heat.

Victory. Levi. Scandal. Mahomes. Reporter.

Topics come one after another without any breathing time and explode all at the same time most of the time without following any sequence.

The heat wave was rolling, dizzying and overwhelming.

However, after 48 hours of uproar, the matter was finally settled and became the only issue of concern to the professional league.

Next game, victory, or defeat?
Putting aside the off-field scandals and controversies for the time being, the Kansas City Chiefs are also facing a severe test when they return to the team and return to the game.

Mahomes will be absent for three to four weeks. What should the team do?
Of course, in the game against the Green Bay Packers, the Kansas City Chiefs have proven themselves. Levi broke free from the shackles and subverted prejudices to shine again, leading the team to defeat opponents and win with unparalleled performance.

It was a tough battle and a fierce fight, but the Kansas Chief was still the Kansas Chief after all, and he showed the resilience and tenacity in his bones and continued to move forward.

Everything is seen and praised by all. It is right before our eyes.

However, it is also true that a crisis is still a crisis.

In this game against the Green Bay Packers, the mistakes in the final stage were certainly due to Levi's leading the team to fight to the end, but we cannot ignore the important role played by the favor of the goddess of luck, which allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to escape the disaster and continue their undefeated streak.

Being lucky is possible once, but it is impossible to be lucky all the time.

In the next game, the Kansas City Chiefs will face more challenges.

First of all, the Kansas City Chiefs' trump card tactics were further exposed.

Secondly, other teams learned from the Green Bay Packers' regrettable defeat and were inspired by the Green Bay Packers' close proximity to victory, so they went all out.

Third, behind the joy of the eight-game winning streak, the team inevitably faces fatigue and pride with half of the season over. The relief after finally overcoming the shackles of the past two seasons may also make the team relax, and coupled with the morale blow brought by Mahomes' absence, the situation is particularly complicated.

In other words, uncertainty is increasing.

The suspense of victory or defeat becomes uncertain.

Even the Kansas City Chiefs themselves admitted that

“We are facing challenges.”

Levi said this when facing reporters on the team's official press day on Wednesday.

"The pressure and the unexpected, they are all there, we can't just turn a blind eye to them."

"But in my opinion, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to sound the alarm, to remind us that we should not take victory for granted, we should not get used to victory and become lazy and numb, we should feel the crisis and cheer up."

“The challenge is always there and we need to face it.”

This is not chicken soup for the soul, but words from the heart.

When the number of consecutive victories accumulates to a certain level, victory becomes a kind of inertia and a state. The joy of victory can no longer bring excitement, and you begin to accept victory as a natural result. The fighting spirit and edge in your subconscious mind are worn down and lose that sharpness. Then, without realizing it, the balance is suddenly broken -

Failure is coming.

This is the principle that we should always be prepared for danger in times of peace.

If you stay comfortable for too long, you will often lose your keen intuition about danger. When the danger really comes, you will be in a panic and at a loss. Only then do you realize that you have lost the ability to deal with the crisis. Whether it was Mahomes' accident or the lucky win over the Green Bay Packers, in Levi's view, it was the alarm that made them cheer up again.

It's not just the players, it's the residents of Kansas City as well.

Then, you will be able to see it in the next team open training session.

The Kansas City Chiefs consciously reduced the time for tactical drills and personal skills training, and instead returned to basic physical training, aerobic and anaerobic cross-training.

High-intensity interval training and low-intensity aerobic training squeezed all the energy out of the players. When the training was over, they looked like they had been fished out of the water.

When leaving the training base, Kelsey kindly signed autographs for the fans, but the fans discovered that Kelsey's wrist holding the pen was shaking.

The fans couldn't help but care about Kelce's situation. Kelce said with a sad face, "Now you know how devilish the rookie is, right? You guys can scold him later, don't torture my old bones anymore."

The fans couldn't hold back their laughter, "Where's the rookie?"

Kelsey looked like he had lost all hope in life, "... practice more." His gritting teeth made the fans laugh collectively.

Indeed, they should celebrate the victory, they should be confident, and they should believe that the Kansas City Chiefs are transforming into a championship team.

But at the same time, they should not let their guard down, should not take things for granted, and should not get caught up in the bubble of victory and think that the championship is in their grasp.

Victory is never that easy. The other 31 teams in the league are all eyeing it covetously.

There is a strong enemy right in front of them. In the ninth week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs will face another tough challenge.

Minnesota Vikings.

In the past three seasons, the National League North has risen across the board and the competition is extremely fierce. The Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, each team is constantly improving and transforming to maintain its competitiveness.

As it happens, this season, the Kansas City Chiefs happen to face the National League North, and these games can be described as tough battles.

The Green Bay Packers had won seven games in a row in the last game, while the Minnesota Vikings had six wins and two losses in this game.

The year before last, the Minnesota Vikings strode all the way to the NFC finals and were one step away from advancing to the Super Bowl, but unfortunately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Last year, the Minnesota Vikings learned from their mistakes and signed quarterback Cousins ​​with a fully guaranteed contract, ready to make a big move. However, they never expected that the team's roster would show a significant decline in coordination, and the team ended the season with eight wins, seven losses and one tie, unfortunately missing the playoffs.

This year, the Minnesota Vikings made a comeback. So far, they have only lost to the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, two of their division rivals. They have defeated strong teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons, and are keeping close to the Green Bay Packers with an excellent record of six wins and two losses, launching a strong impact on the playoffs.

Such Minnesota Vikings are particularly dangerous——

On defense, they still maintain their top level in the league; on offense, the arrival of Cousins ​​also allows them to open up the situation in terms of passing.

Menacing, soaring.

Obviously, for the Kansas City Chiefs, this is still a strong enemy that they need to be prepared for.

Moreover, with Mahomes absent, there is a big question mark as to whether the Kansas City Chiefs can continue to maintain their undefeated season.

In this regard, Cousins ​​said, "We are ready. We will prove ourselves with practical actions. Who is the fake one? The answer will be revealed soon."

Parallel imports?

Wait, who said who was a parallel import?
