Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1282 Arrogance
Sigh, helplessness, anxiety, anger, fear, and panic.

After one game, Trubisky was more nervous than ever, his alarms instantly going off and he could barely breathe.

After all, this is no ordinary game.

This was a game in which the Chicago Bears completely collapsed after missing the playoffs. This was a game in which they faced their direct competitor Levi but were beaten by their opponent.

God, just thinking about it makes my stomach burn and an urge to vomit lingers in my throat.

But...nothing. Nothing.

What Trubisky worried about did not happen. There was no kicking someone when they were down, no encirclement and blocking, no verbal abuse or complaints. Nothing happened.

There was peace.

Huh, that’s it?

What's going on here?

Trubisky was stunned: Am I not even worthy of being criticized or attacked?

Not only Trubisky, but even the Chicago Bears had to stand aside, and the news media and social networks all focused on the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the 16th week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Chicago Bears without any suspense, which marked that the Kansas City Chiefs officially locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The outcome of the last game has no impact on the overall situation. The No. 1 seed in the AFC is the Kansas City Chiefs. Moreover, because the opponent is the Los Angeles Chargers, who also missed the playoffs, the result of the game will not directly affect the playoff situation. This is an insignificant game.

So, here comes the problem——

Do the Kansas City Chiefs still need to field all their main players for the glory of an "all-winning season"?

What if it affects the playoffs? The physical and mental consumption of playing one more game cannot be ignored, and the potential for injury cannot be ignored.

In fact, in the past two seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs played the last regular season game with substitute rotation without affecting the playoffs.

Reed is a smart man who will not ruin the overall situation for illusory reputation and flashy glory. He is sober and rational enough to understand:

If we fail to win the final championship, all the efforts of the entire season will turn into bitterness and regret, and the aura of a perfect season will be of no use.

Reed refused to invest energy in a feud.

But is the problem really that simple?

What if the Kansas City Chiefs give up their final game and go into the playoffs relaxed, but don't win the title?
What if the Kansas City Chiefs' main lineup loses its competitive form and winning streak due to missing the last game and is eliminated early in the playoffs?
So, how should this be calculated, and will being too clever by half be a mistake?
Moreover, the regular season is the regular season and the playoffs are the playoffs, which are two different things. It will take more than a month for the Kansas City Chiefs to complete the feat of three consecutive championships; but the glory of the regular season is already within reach.

In the long history of the NFL, only the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots have accomplished such a feat. Not all teams have such an opportunity to impact a perfect season. Are the Kansas City Chiefs really not ready to give it a try?

In this way, regardless of whether they can win three consecutive championships, at least the Kansas City Chiefs have unlocked a regular season record, which can also go down in history. Isn't this worth it?
For a while, there were many different opinions——

Some people think that the Kansas City Chiefs should go all out. No one knows when the next opportunity to achieve an undefeated season will come again. The Kansas City Chiefs have been running at full speed throughout the season, and it would be a pity to give up so easily at the last moment, which may even destroy their mentality for the playoffs.

Some people think that the Kansas City Chiefs should focus on the key point. Compared with the feat of three consecutive championships, the weight of a perfect record in the regular season is incomparable. Now that they have the hope of hitting three consecutive championships, everything else needs to be put aside. There is no need to take risks for a false name. The championship is the only important thing.

The key point is, how does Reed judge?
In 2019, on December th, the last week of the NFL regular season, all games started on the same day. Regardless of whether they were related to the playoff spots or whether they had nothing to do with the season pattern, all of them were completed on Sunday without exception to ensure maximum fairness.

The Los Angeles Chargers' trip to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs is no exception.

The battle officially began at noon Central Time.

A month ago, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs teamed up at Wembley Stadium to present a wonderful London Bowl, bringing a long-awaited, exciting and wonderful game to the British audience.

However, times have changed.

At that time, the Los Angeles Lightning still had hope for the season. Regardless of winning or losing, the game was very close. It could be seen that everyone in the team was fighting hard. They were on the verge of collapse, but they tried their best to get back on track and hold on to the remaining glimmer of hope for the playoffs.

At this point, after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers' playoff hopes were slim, and the barely-holding team completely fell apart.

After returning from London, the Los Angeles Chargers only achieved a poor record of one win and three losses. Except for the game in which they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Los Angeles Chargers lost all other games without any chance to fight back. The last bit of their spirit was torn apart by the strong wind in London.

Before the last week of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lightning had a season record of five wins and ten losses, ranking last in the American League West.

Not only is it at the bottom of the division, it even has a chance to compete for the vice-captain position and fight for a high draft pick next year.

When the offseason schedule was released, the Kansas City Chiefs' schedule was the most difficult in the league and was known as the Devil's Schedule, but the way the season opened was unexpected.

To some extent, the Los Angeles Chargers, like the Chicago Bears, had a brilliant season last season, which gave fans and league professionals high hopes; after the start of the new season, although the reasons and processes were slightly different, both teams struggled and ended the season hastily.

From a strong team with championship potential last season to a weak team that fell out of the playoffs this season, in just one season, they have been going back and forth between heaven and hell.

It is precisely because of this that there are widespread voices circulating on social networks and within the league, secretly expecting the Kansas City Chiefs to write the record.

Whether you like the Kansas City Chiefs or not, if you can witness the birth of an all-winning season with your own eyes, a season that carries so much weight, so many doubts, and so many twists and turns, the Kansas City Chiefs' 2019 season is destined to go down in history, and every witness is honored.

After all, it’s just the Los Angeles Lightning, and not the Los Angeles Lightning from last season. It shouldn’t be a problem, it’s almost a piece of cake.

Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

In any case, the Los Angeles Chargers are their mortal rivals in the same division, and no one should want to see the Kansas City Chiefs step on their shoulders to complete the feat of winning the season more than the Los Angeles Chargers. Rivers should do his best to prevent the Kansas City Chiefs from easily writing the historical record.

You are so arrogant that you are already talking about a winning season before the game even starts? Do you think Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers are dead?
