Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1308 Psychological Game
The air surged gently, and Tannehill's voice resonated among the players.

"Now, the home curse is in our favor. We have no reason not to believe it, even if it is just the power of leveraging. Whether it is to shake the faith of the Kansas City Chiefs or to increase our own confidence, we should believe it, not only believe it, but also vigorously promote it."

AJ Brown: ...dumb.

So, is this the power of being in the league for ten years? Who would have thought that a half-joking rumor could actually evolve into a part of psychological warfare?

As expected, Tannehill is worthy of his name. After playing in the Miami Dolphins for many years, he is already very familiar with playing psychological warfare with his arch-rivals in the same division, the New England Patriots.

Henry raised his eyes and looked at Tannehill quietly, "Not only should we believe it, but we should convince the Kansas Chief to believe it too?"

Tannehill, "Do you think Levi would believe that?"

Henry, "0% chance."

Tannehill, "So we should plant a seed of self-doubt in the Kansas City Chiefs locker room, and then through our efforts and hard work, continue to put pressure, hoping to become a little motivation to turn the game around at a critical moment. We need such self-suggestion."

"Levi may not believe it, but that doesn't mean the entire locker room of the Kansas City Chiefs won't believe it."

Henry, without speaking immediately—

To be honest, these calculations, these games, these psychological warfare, are not what he is good at. He is a straightforward person and everything depends on strength.

But not being good at it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything, and he is not a blank slate. After all, there are no fools coming out of the Crimson Tide Storm Shaban.

Originally, Henry didn't believe it, because he knew that these psychological warfare had no effect on Levi. Even Belichick was frustrated when he tried to play psychological warfare with Levi. Honest people like them should not try it rashly. If they are not careful, they may accelerate their own death.

However, Tannehill is right. It doesn't matter whether Henry or Levi believes it. What matters is whether the locker rooms of the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs believe it. No matter how outstanding and powerful Levi is, he cannot control the hearts of the people when facing a locker room of 53 people.

Henry, "Who knows, maybe the curse really exists."

After saying this, Henry headed towards the locker room. There was a commotion among the other players, making it very lively.

Tannehill exhaled lightly, with a smile in his eyes.

They had just broken their curse and defeated the New England Patriots again at Gillette Stadium for the first time in 25 years, and they were not going to stop there.

Does the so-called curse really have no effect?
Maybe yes, maybe no, but the fact is:

MLB's Houston Red Sox missed the world championship for 86 years, the Tennessee Titans failed to beat the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium for 25 years, and the Kansas City Chiefs failed to win a playoff victory for 21 years.

Even without the spell, the influence exists objectively.

Everything is just like a lie. If you repeat the same lie a hundred times, it becomes the truth.

"There's no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs are a challenge, the ultimate challenge."

On Wednesday's media day, Henry was surrounded by reporters. It wasn't until his senior year that the legendary running back of the Crimson Tide finally gained the respect he deserved and stood in the spotlight.

"I still haven't forgotten the wildcard match in the 2017 season. We had 99% of the initiative to win and were only one step away from advancing to the next round, but we lost to Levi." Henry took the initiative to reveal the scar without the reporter reminding him.

"Before that, Levi was just 'a young man with some ability in the Crimson Tide'; but after that, Levi was 'the leader of the Crimson Tide who got ahead of me and proved himself in the professional league and ushered in a new era'."

"I refused to be the kind of person who held on to my past glory and pretended that I still owned the world. I needed to face myself. Although it took some time and the process was not easy, I finally accepted that Levi was indeed better than me."

"I know that I have never won against Levi in ​​my career so far, but I don't think this is a bad situation. After all, that guy has only lost a few times in the past few years."

Haha!

Henry's dry and funny comments successfully triggered laughter from the reporters.

"Now, Levi is the one I need to catch up with."

Later, the reporter asked whether the Tennessee Titans were ready for the reunion in the playoffs after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tennessee Titans in this year's regular season.

"Of course." Henry nodded in agreement, "We know how strong a team they are, and we also know how dangerous Arrowhead Stadium is at home."

"But this is the playoffs, and things are different."

"They are the defenders, and we are the attackers. The pressure and burden of the defenders is much greater than ours. We have nothing to lose. The only thing we need to do is to go all out without reservation, without thinking about the future, and focus wholeheartedly on the present to meet the ultimate challenge of the alliance."

"Maybe this time we can get some help from the 'home curse' to help us continue the miracle."

Kill two birds with one stone!
Henry calmly pointed out the "home curse" and put pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs; at the same time, he emphasized the miracle of the Tennessee Titans defeating the New England Patriots in an upset that overturned expectations, further putting more pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Plain, but firm.

Although the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs have no historical entanglements, this is far from being comparable to the "Levi vs. Brady" showdown.

But thanks to the presence of Henry and Levi, things have quietly changed, and the glory of the University of Alabama has continued in the professional arena.

Henry expressed his determination with a clear look in his eyes, understating it but with force, and mentioned the "home curse" just right, avoiding mentioning it too frequently as it would be excessive.

In the wild card game, the Tennessee Titans were the underdogs and no one expected them to win. However, they miraculously defeated Brady and Belichick's last gamble.

In the divisional round, the Tennessee Titans are still the underdogs, and no one is optimistic about their victory, but they are also ready to subvert the entire league again, disrupt Goodell's plan, steal the spotlight, and take practical actions to continue to cause chaos in the American League after the decline of the New England Patriots.

The buzzer-beater in the 2017 wild-card game is still a thorn in the hearts of Tennessee Titans fans.

At that time, the Kansas City Chiefs, who had not yet matured or transformed, were not strong and full of loopholes. The Tennessee Titans were the ones who held the initiative to win. However, they never expected that the Kansas City Chiefs would complete the Phoenix Nirvana with that Jedi reversal.

The rest is all history.

People have discussed more than once whether the current league landscape would be different if the Kansas City Chiefs had not succeeded in their comeback in that wild-card game, or if the Tennessee Titans had held on to the end.
This thorn has always been stuck in the throat of the Tennessee Titans until now. The moment of revenge for the Tennessee Titans has finally arrived!
