Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1211 Ugly Victory
The heights are so cold!
Everyone understands this saying, but only by experiencing it personally can one understand the loneliness and helplessness of seeing enemies all around.

This season, the Kansas City Chiefs, as the two-time defending champions, have been the target of public criticism. Now they are the only team in the league that remains undefeated. With Goodell's official support, they are the darling of the world and are at the center of the storm. The other 31 teams and millions of fans are eager to dethrone them.

Among them, Levi is the focus of the focus.

He won both the regular season and Super Bowl MVP awards, was the first player in the league's history to earn over 100 million yuan a year, broke the shackles of annual salary and overturned the league's quarterback-dominated structure, and his every move in off-field activities from fashion to charity to entertainment has created huge waves, making history in every aspect.

And all of this happened to an Asian running back. Imagine the looks from people around him.

Even if there is no opportunity, people are trying to create it to launch an attack; what's more, opportunities rarely appear now, so there is naturally no reason to miss them.

Li Wei, who was "unemployed and arrogant", was once again under fire.

Bart had a look of deep sorrow on his face, and seemed to be concerned about the prospects of the defending champions. "Levi is the reason for their success and failure. The Kansas City Chiefs need to sound the alarm. It's not too late to make adjustments now."

"otherwise……"

Bart didn't need to finish his words, as netizens had already completed their remarks, and a barrage of accusations and curses were directed at Levi.

The pressure is gradually accumulating. The closer we get to the playoffs, the more tense it becomes. Every game may determine the fate of the playoffs.

It was in such an atmosphere that the Kansas City Chiefs ended their bye week adjustments and faced the challenge of another arch-rival in the same division, the Oakland Raiders, at home.

The competition was... exceptionally difficult.

The Oakland Raiders continue to play the Oakland Raiders' usual attitude. Even if the season is bad and the playoff hopes are shattered, they are particularly excited as long as they play against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Outstanding performance.

This season, Oakland Raiders' first-round draft pick, running back Josh Jacobs, faced off against the second "Crimson Tide Derby" of the season. Jacobs was full of fighting spirit and passion, and put in a highlight performance of the season.

He carried the ball 156 times for yards, averaging more than nine yards per carry.

There were many highlights throughout the game, which made the commentators exclaim one after another and sigh in admiration.

"The Red Tide Storm is indeed the Red Tide Storm!"

Following Derrick Henry and Levi, Jacobs has delivered another top running back to the league. Waiting for the Raiders to relocate to Las Vegas and gain a foothold before regrouping and becoming as brand new as the duo in Los Angeles, in the future Jacobs is likely to become the best successor to the AFC West against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After all, the Oakland Raiders have shown great potential this season.

No one should forget that at this year's draft, the Oakland Raiders made a series of crazy moves to prepare for their move to Las Vegas next year. The team, which is in the process of adjustment and running-in this season, has indeed shown its youthful capital and performed well.

The team currently has six wins and five losses on the season. Although it cannot threaten the Kansas City Chiefs' position at the top of the division, it is temporarily ranked second in the division, ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos, and maintains a glimmer of possibility of advancing to the playoffs.

Worth paying attention to.

Facing their division rivals who have remained undefeated so far this season, the Oakland Raiders, who are fighting hard for a playoff spot, were completely bloodthirsty and put in a remarkable performance. Not only did their offense repeatedly make astonishing advances, but their defense also burst out with incredible energy and brought surprises.

In sharp contrast is the Kansas Chiefs, Bart's concerns seem to have come true -

After returning from a short bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs seemed to have their rhythm disrupted. In just one week without any game competition, they lost their form.

Overall... he seemed absent-minded. It wasn't that he wasn't focused enough or didn't have motivation, but his steps were heavy, and the whole rhythm of starting, reacting, and fighting seemed to be a little slower.

It's like walking in a desert.

No one knew what was going on. Although the news of Felix's hospitalization was no secret, people outside Kansas City had no idea of ​​Felix's significance and never associated the performance of the Kansas Chiefs with an ordinary fan.

Maybe... the only explanation is that Bart was finally right for once?
Levi, not doing well.

He carried the ball fourteen times and ran for 4.5 yards, an average of yards per carry.

In addition, he caught four passes for thirty-three yards.

Objectively speaking, if we take away the name "Levi", such performance is definitely worthy of praise. The average of 4.5 yards per advance on the ground is undoubtedly the top level in the league, and the data of a total of yards in receiving and running also proves that the player plays a vital role in the offensive group.

After all, the standard for whether an offensive team has an excellent performance in a game is to advance 300 yards, and now one player is responsible for one-third of the advance, which is worthy of praise for anyone.

There is no doubt that Levi is still the core and is still performing strongly.

However, this is Levi, who has been at the top of the league for three consecutive seasons.

People are dissatisfied.

This is the second time this season that Levi has less than 100 yards on the ground in a single game, the first time this season that he has less than 100 yards receiving and running in a single game, and the first time this season that he has not caught the ball or run for a touchdown in the entire game.

Accusations and criticisms come naturally.

Of course, before the criticism, what people are really amazed at is that only by referring to Levi's so-called "downturn" in this game can one feel Levi's dominance this season. His worst performance is already better than 90% of the running backs in the league, so how tough is Levi in ​​his peak state?
Not to mention that Levi also plays as a quarterback every now and then.

A small number of netizens said that if such performance was met with encirclement and suppression, there would be no chance for other players to survive.

But while the game is going on, those accusations and criticisms are still vented against one's conscience.

Although Levi's "poor performance", Levi still played the role of a stabilizing force, helping to stabilize the team's mentality, and then Mahomes stepped forward.

The young quarterback continued his growth curve this season. After experiencing the test of the London Bowl, he finally adapted to the intensity of the game. He ran and passed at critical moments to help the Kansas Chiefs overcome difficulties again and again.

The Kansas City Chiefs' overall performance was indeed bumpy and up and down. They had a hard time playing under the continuous attacks of the Oakland Raiders. The game was deadlocked until the fourth quarter, and the suspense of the outcome continued until the end.

At the critical moment, the Kansas City Chiefs, who have become increasingly mature and transformed this season, withstood the impact and defeated the Oakland Raiders by a hair's breadth.

The final score was “16:18”.

The visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.

It was an ugly victory, but in the end, the Kansas City Chiefs still won the victory, extending their undefeated streak to twelve games and continuing to dominate the league.

However, the game is over and the storm has just begun.
