Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1301 The Siren Calls
In the 2019 season, Lamar Jackson underwent a comprehensive transformation and swept the league's focus with a devastating attitude; coupled with Levi's excellent performance still standing at the top of the league, the fierce competition between the two new generations easily awakened people's not-so-distant memories.

In the 2016 NCAA season, there was a fierce competition for the Heisman Trophy. In the end, Levi was crowned as a witness to history, which sparked heated discussions from all sides.

At that time, the players who really threatened Levi to reach the top included Jackson, but Jackson was not the main player, Deshaun Watson was.

Now, watching the twin stars Jackson and Levi shine, Watson also felt the stimulation, learned from his mistakes and finally broke out.

He is not a supporting role, nor a background player; he is not a disappointing fake; he is absolutely not the weakest link in the "2016 Heisman Trophy Iron Triangle".

In the NCAA, he has always been overshadowed by Levi; in the NFL, he has always been overshadowed by Watt. Watson has always been a subsidiary, a follower, and a foil, which makes it almost impossible for him to breathe. After going around in circles and wasting his first two seasons as a rookie, Watson finally woke up.

Moreover, at the most important and crucial moment, Watson stood up under pressure. This cornerstone quarterback who carried hope and responsibility played the role of "pillar" of the Houston Texans for the first time.

"16:0".

The Buffalo Bills had an all-around advantage. The outstanding performance of the defense created two ball possession changes and beat the Houston Texans' offense to a pulp. After waves of humiliation and ridicule, Watson bounced back.

When everyone in the league was discussing Jackson as the "chosen one", when all professionals lamented that Jackson was the ultimate version of a quarterback, Watson also proved it with practical actions:

Pass the ball? No problem. Run the ball? No problem either.

Jackson can do everything he can, and he can do it better.

Watson transformed into a Super Saiyan, passing and running at full speed, leading the offensive team to complete a 75-yard advance, and finally relying on his own legs to complete an 11-yard run and score a touchdown.

And, that’s not all.

Afterwards, the Houston Texans challenged for a two-point extra point, and Watson once again relied on his legs to run into the end zone and completed the key two-point conversion.

"16:8".

That’s how long it takes to make a run, and the point difference that seemed unreachable not long ago turns into a possession, instantly changing the momentum.

The Houston Texans' defense was in high spirits, and in the next wave of defense, they sacked Josh Allen, caused a fumble, and stole the ball.

In less than five minutes, the Buffalo Bills were in disarray and paid a heavy price for their youth.

At the critical moment, the Buffalo Bills relied on traditional defense to stand firm and prevented Watson from scoring another touchdown in time. Although they still lost the free kick, they controlled the situation before it became more chaotic, which made the fourth quarter a stalemate.

There is a lot of tension as you come and go.

"16:19".

With two minutes and twenty-seven seconds left in the game, the Houston Texans were leading at home, but the ball was in the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

Then the defense led by Watt made another great contribution. In a situation where the Buffalo Bills had to force a fourth-down play, they sacked Josh Allen, continuing the intensity of the defense in the first three downs and even going a step further, not only forcing Allen to lose 16 yards, but also causing a fumble.

This change of possession gave Watson a chance to attack 39 yards in the Buffalo Bills' half. He only needed to move forward a little to enter the free kick area.

However, the Buffalo Bills defense refused to surrender and gave Watson no chance with a clean strikeout.

Moreover, in Watson's desperate fourth-and-1 offense, the Buffalo Bills defense held Watson tightly behind the line of scrimmage.

The opportunity returned to the Buffalo Bills, and this time Josh Allen did not miss it. He completed the advance in one minute and eleven seconds. Although he did not score a touchdown, he still tied the score with a buzzer-beating free kick.

"19:19".

The league was filled with exclamations and thunderous applause. Compared to the one-sided playoffs last season, this season's playoffs were completely different, and the first game really showed the bloody atmosphere.

In overtime, both Watson and Allen, the two young quarterbacks lacked the ability to make the final decision, and the defense was still the protagonist.

The Houston Texans, who were attacking first, struck out.

The Buffalo Bills, who were attacking next, had already entered the free kick area, but lost yards due to a foul and left the free kick area. In the end, they regretfully punted and handed the opponent the chance to win the game.

This time, the Houston Texans who escaped death finally seized the opportunity.

Although the fierce pressure from the Buffalo Bills' defense left Watson no room to breathe, under the threat of sacks from two opponents, Watson made a hasty shot in desperation and made a four-yard short pass to backup running back Taiwan-Jones, who usually plays on the special team.

The latter not only completed the catch, but also fought his way out of the chaos and advanced thirty yards.

Relying on this running drive, the Houston Texans successfully advanced into the Buffalo Bills' territory and finally completed a 28-yard free kick.

Lore!

"19:22".

The Houston Texans completed a super comeback and won the playoffs again after the 2016 season.

The young Buffalo Bill paid the price for missing several opportunities at critical moments and shed tears on the field.

After the game, Watt was overcome with emotion, but he tried to control himself, keep a low profile and remain calm.

"...we need to take it one game at a time. Even though we won, we still have a lot of problems to solve. I hope..."

Watt choked up slightly, but he managed to control himself.

“I hope to lead the team to further progress.”

The Houston Texans were founded in 1999 and first joined the NFL in 2002. In less than years of history, they have never made it past the divisional round.

Despite reaching the wild-card round three times, they were eliminated in the divisional rounds each time, losing once to the Baltimore Ravens and twice to the New England Patriots.

Therefore, Watt will not ruin his focus because of greed. They need to take it step by step and first go all out with the divisional game as the goal.

However, Watson was different. There was a murderous look in his eyes and he was completely bloodthirsty. The passion ignited in overtime continued all the way to the post-match press conference.

"bring it on."

"Whoever it is, bring it on. They don't matter because I'm ready."

"You watch, I will prove myself, first Lamar Jackson, then Levi, I will beat them one by one, and then stand on the Super Bowl stage."

boom!
Watson opened fire across the board, obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that the media's buzz was all about Jackson and Levi, ignoring his existence.

Now, Watson got what he wanted. The bustling heat wave across the entire league was like a summer rainstorm, instantly submerging the entire Houston.

So, the question is, who will the Houston Texans face to break through the shackles of the divisional round, Jackson or Levi?

It depends on the outcome of the other game.
