Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1305: Once Upon a Time
Perfect, everything is perfect!
When the American League divisional series matchups were announced, the entire league was in a sensation.

It is true that the New England Patriots' upset elimination overturned all expectations; but the emotions of regret and sighing lasted less than three minutes before disappearing. Eyes of admiration and expectation were boiling because of the comprehensive rise of young people, and Belichick and Brady were forgotten in the corner of elimination in the blink of an eye.

The cruelest and saddest thing is that even the complaints of gloating are rare.

Every year, when the New England Patriots are eliminated, the entire league celebrates, as if the New England Patriots' failure is the victory of others; and this year, the New England Patriots, who experienced the "Gillette Stadium Incident 2.0" and "Spygate 2.0" but escaped severe punishment from the league, once again aroused public anger, and curses and insults could be seen everywhere on social networks.

One can imagine how loud and crazy the sounds of gongs and drums and celebrations would be when the New England Patriots were unexpectedly eliminated in the wild-card game.

However, it did not.

The scattered sarcasm and complaints spread out like waves in the breeze, but ultimately failed to cause any waves, as if no one cared at all.

This is more terrifying than hatred because no one cares.

Even the act of adding insult to injury was disdained, as if the New England Patriots had lost even the last bit of value, which had never happened before.

Who could have thought that the New England Patriots would have such a day.

For proud men like Belichick and Brady, this is more humiliating than spitting, slapping, and name-calling.

Everything was calm and quiet, as if they had just exited the stage of history, and even a little extra attention was not given to them.

After all, the playoffs are still going on, and there are more focuses to focus on.

"Kansas City Chiefs vs. Tennessee Titans".

"Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans".

Although there are still familiar faces here, Harper's Baltimore Ravens are still strong, and the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs continue their strong rise; but overall, a new generation of young people has stepped onto the stage, standing under the spotlight and becoming the new protagonists of the professional league.

Jackson is in his second year, Levi, Mahomes and Watson are in their third year, and Henry is in his fourth year. They are all young players who represent the future and their rookie contracts have not yet ended.

For a moment, I don’t know whether I should be surprised that Henry is already the oldest player representative here, or whether I should lament that Watt will usher in the tenth anniversary of his career next year and officially become a "mainstay" veteran.

Sure enough, time flies!
Over the past few years, "veterans vs. rookies" has always been the main theme of the American League and even the entire league, with the vacancy left after Manning's retirement lingering; and now, at least this year, this topic can finally become history, with rookies taking over the league and heralding the league into a new era.

Alliance, applause!
"See the newcomers laugh, hear the old ones cry", the world of competitive sports is so cruel and cruel, even GOAT Brady could not escape the disaster. Maybe Brady can firmly occupy a place in the Hall of Fame in NFL history, but the world of professional sports is constantly evolving and moving forward. In front of the mighty new generation of forces, GOAT is also an outdated thing that is stuffed into the dust of history.

Three years ago, the topic of "GOAT vs. Rookie" emerged like a comet and dominated the screen. Everyone laughed and cursed at Goodell for doing anything to gain traffic.

In a trance, the goat has become history. No one is paying attention to it. All eyes are on the rookie. The first player in the league completes the smooth handover.

Will the American League Championship be a rookie winning three consecutive championships, or will a new champion be born?
However, no matter who it is, it can now be confirmed that the United States has finally swept away the unchanging status quo of the past twenty years, and a new structure belonging to the United States has emerged.

The future is promising. Next, it depends on who among Jackson, Watson and Henry can break through the siege and become Levi's destined opponent. Perhaps, at the league level, the "Levi vs. Donald" AFC vs. NFC matchup needs to be brewed; but at the same time, the AFC level cannot be left vacant for too long. The focus matchup after "Levi vs. Brady" cannot be interrupted. Now it depends on whether Jackson can shoulder people's expectations.

Just thinking about it makes me feel excited.

In the hustle and bustle, the voices on social networks are exploding with energy, and the influence of the NFL is still reaching new heights.

In stark contrast to last season, the first day of this season's playoffs was extremely lively and exciting. If even the stagnant American League brought such a surprise, does it mean that the National League, which has always been a mess and fierce, is also worth looking forward to?
The fact is... it is indeed so—

Lots of fun!

On Sunday, January 5th, two National League wildcard games kicked off one after another.

"No. 3 seed New Orleans Saints vs. No. 6 seed Minnesota Vikings" will be the first to appear in the afternoon.

The New Orleans Saints, who were unfortunately eliminated from the National League Finals last season due to an unfair penalty, have been sharpening their knives. They are ready to win fairly, they are ready to prove themselves fairly, and they are ready to crush the league's little tricks with their absolute strength.

They are ready to take back their NFC title and stride forward to once again make a strong push for the Super Bowl.

It's hard to believe, but despite the fact that the New Orleans Saints have been a top contender over the years and the most stable team in the NFC chaos, they haven't advanced to the Super Bowl since the 2009 season.

For a full decade, the combination of Sean Payton and Drew Brees stood at the top of the league but was never able to reach the top of the National League again.

This season, the New Orleans Saints have been brewing and settling down. Their record of 49 wins and losses is exactly the same as that of the San Francisco ers and Green Bay Packers. They have undoubtedly become the favorite to win the Super Bowl for the st time.

However, the New Orleans Saints, who have the same record, did not receive a bye and had to start from the wild-card round. The Minnesota Vikings are likely to become the sacrifice of the New Orleans Saints. Payton and Brees will use them as warm-up players to start their final sprint to the championship.

To some extent, this should be the least suspenseful matchup in the wild card game besides the New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans.

It is for this reason that the league scheduled this game in the afternoon.

Lack of suspense.

However, unexpected events occurred. Just as the Tennessee Titans upset the New England Patriots, this game also saw surprising changes.

In the first half, the Minnesota Vikings actually took the initiative and dominated the New Orleans Saints. The New Orleans Saints, who had been dominating the regular season, had an extremely difficult game, stumbling and falling.

In an instant, social networks were all stunned. Wait, no way, is Brees going to follow in Brady's footsteps and be eliminated in the wild-card game?

Is this a season where veterans are collectively buried?
