Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1310 Lost in the North

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

The sound of water splashing in the shower was heard. Hill came in and occupied a shower head next to Levi. Then, Hardman also came in, but he obviously couldn't contain his excitement, and the expression between his brows had already revealed the turmoil in his heart.

"Rookie, it's done. Everything is just as you said. Exactly the same."

Levi hadn't responded yet. Hill nervously turned his head to look at the shower door, fearing that their conversation might be heard. He quickly put his finger on his lips and said, "Shh!"

Hardman also nodded repeatedly and lowered his voice, "What's the next step?"

Here, Li Wei was the calmest. "Stay focused. Prepare today the same way you normally prepare."

Hill and Hardman nodded repeatedly, but after exchanging glances, they couldn't contain their joy. They high-fived to celebrate and chuckled.

How could Levi not know about the widespread rumor throughout the alliance?
Superstition, spells, and curses are indeed tricky to deal with. If you take them too seriously, too solemnly, and too seriously, it will appear that they really believe them, and the suspicion lingering in the players' hearts may become a dead end; but if you ignore them and leave them unattended, the mentality of the 53 players in the locker room plus the coaching staff, everyone will have their own wild imaginations, and things may get completely out of control.

Therefore, it is necessary to deal with it, but it cannot be too serious. It is most important to strike a good balance.

The answer is obvious. This matter cannot be handled and clarified by the coaching staff, as that would be too serious. They must handle it in the locker room without anyone noticing.

To this end, Levi, a "football layman", specifically consulted and browsed a series of information, made a plan, found Hill and Hardman, and asked them to cooperate with the performance.

Here, Kelce and Mahomes were not looked for because everyone in the locker room knew that they had a close relationship with Levi, and their "performance" might be discovered, and they would not achieve their goal; but similarly, Levi did not look for completely unfamiliar faces, on the one hand because he was worried that they would leak the news, and on the other hand because he lacked persuasiveness.

Hardman, the one who laid the groundwork and threw out the 2010 season, was him.

Hill, in charge of guidance, spoke out the players' thoughts with empathy.

Everything is going according to plan.

Of course, Levi doesn't think that a simple little story can completely solve the ubiquitous pressure. The next performance is the most important:
Keep it normal.

No matter what the situation, whether there is a curse or not, and no matter who the opponent is, the Kansas City Chiefs always need to maintain themselves. Only if they do their best step by step can they meet the challenge; otherwise, they may have lost to themselves before the curse or the opponent occurs.

The more this happens, the more the team needs to maintain a daily routine.

Winning three consecutive championships is not easy; winning three consecutive championships in an undefeated season is even more difficult, but precisely because of this, such a challenge is more interesting.

Is not it?
However, even Levi could not control everything or predict everything.

Maybe Levi can control the locker room of the Kansas City Chiefs, but the locker rooms of other teams are places that Levi cannot set foot in.

For example, the Baltimore Ravens.

Or the Houston Texans.

On Saturday, January 2019, the divisional round of the NFL season playoffs officially kicked off.

In the afternoon, at 2:45 Central Time, the first American League divisional series took place.

"No. 2 seed Baltimore Ravens vs. No. 4 seed Houston Texans".

Then, at 8:05 pm Central Time, the second AFC Divisional Game kicked off: "No. 1 seed Kansas City Chiefs vs. No. 6 seed Tennessee Titans."

Unlike previous years, when the National League and the American League were interlaced, this year, as the league's centennial season, the playoff schedule has been slightly adjusted. The wild card game and divisional game will be started by the American League first, followed by the National League. This also shows the league's outlook on the future of the game:
In the American League, there is a lack of suspense, and the meeting of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens at the Forbidden City should be what everyone expects.

The National League is full of dangers, and even the sixth-seeded Minnesota Vikings have a chance.

To be exciting, you naturally need to wait patiently, and push it to the climax step by step. The progress of the wildcard game also proved that the league's schedule was correct, which fully detonated the ratings. The data completely refreshed the league record and set a new high. The attention surrounding the playoffs continued to soar with the Rockets.

Then, the divisional rounds came.

However, no one expected that cold air would come along.

"Oh, a disaster!"

"It was a complete disaster for the Baltimore Ravens as Lamar Jackson threw his second interception of the game."

"This was the third Baltimore Ravens conversion of the game, and they had four failed fourth-down conversions, which completely ruined Harper's game."

"Obviously, Harbaugh had high hopes for Jackson. He hoped that in critical and difficult moments, the young quarterback could use his feet and hands to save the Baltimore Ravens. But unfortunately, Jackson failed to live up to Harbaugh's expectations."

"In fact, Lamar Jackson still had a phenomenal game tonight, with 365 passing yards and 143 running yards, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 300 passing yards and 100 running yards in the playoffs. His unparalleled performance continued his strong performance in the regular season."

"But a 52.5 percent completion rate, two interceptions, a fumble, and four key fourth-down turnovers are inexcusable."

"In a game like this, such a mistake is disappointing and fatal. This interception is likely to end the Baltimore Ravens' hopes."

Shocked and stunned, the entire alliance took a deep breath, because it was so unexpected that people lost the ability to react -

The real shock was not that the Houston Texans' offense continued its excellent performance, but that the Baltimore Ravens' offense was completely lost.

Judging from the data, Jackson once again completed a historical performance; however, the actual situation is not the case. In the first three quarters, the Baltimore Ravens failed to complete a touchdown and only had two free kicks.

In the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens' offense put up phenomenal numbers, outclassing the Kansas City Chiefs and ranking first among all offensive teams in the league this season.

But in the playoffs, this offensive team that once scored touchdowns as easily as eating and drinking was completely lost, and Jackson's wonderful performance of running all over the field was in vain.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Jackson finally completed a 15-yard touchdown pass, the first point of the game, but it was too late.

After the touchdown, Jackson attempted a two-point call, but the pass was once again swatted away. The Houston Texans defense kept Jackson at a loss the entire afternoon.

Everyone was completely stunned, including the players.

No... No way, is this the end of the Baltimore Ravens who have been so powerful this season?

An epic collapse, an anticlimactic end to the historic 2019 season, and a hasty end to the highly anticipated playoffs in a shocking upset?

Time is ticking away.

Lamar Jackson stood on the court, his eyes blank, at a loss.
