Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1428 is endless

Provoke. Attack. Encircle.

The hustle and bustle of noise surrounded the San Francisco 49ers, because people knew clearly that the suspense and excitement of the Super Bowl did not depend on the Kansas City Chiefs, but all fell on the shoulders of the San Francisco 49ers. It did not take a professional to see this key.

And now?
At least on the surface, from Shanahan to Garoppolo to Staley, the San Francisco 49ers are sharpening their knives, their morale has been ignited, and they are ready with practical actions to prove that they are ready not only to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs, but also to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs and are ready to go.

Of course, we still need to see whether it is a mule or a horse. No one can predict how the peak showdown of the Super Bowl will go.

But the San Francisco 49ers need this momentum.

Look at the Tennessee Titans, who relied on their savage brute force to make the Kansas City Chiefs break out in a cold sweat; look at the Houston Texans, who were intimidated by the momentum of the Kansas City Chiefs at the start of the game, and after being caught up in the rhythm of the Kansas City Chiefs, they were struggling to catch up throughout the game.

In hindsight, if the Tennessee Titans had been able to hold on until halftime, the situation might have been completely different.

The vastly different performances of the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans have set an example. The Kansas City Chiefs are not invincible. The key lies in the belief in victory, believing that they can fight against the Kansas City Chiefs and believe that they can overturn the Kansas City Chiefs. The San Francisco 49ers need this courage.

Now, judging by Garoppolo’s reaction, at least the belief has been ignited.

Things suddenly became interesting.

On the surface, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers have already got into the game, united as one, fighting side by side, and the locker room has reached a consensus. There are no worries and no internal hidden dangers. The faith and determination are unified because of the Super Bowl, and they are ready for the ultimate showdown.

But what is the actual situation?

No one knows.

The door of the locker room completely blocks the media and fans' inquiries, and they can only catch clues from the atmosphere and situation on the training ground.

The Kansas City Chiefs were relaxed and full of laughter. Not only their facial expressions, but also their body language showed the relaxed atmosphere in preparation for the game. They even replaced warm-ups with games on the court. Their laughter brought them back to their school days, just like an after-school activity.

This is the confidence of the two-time defending champions.

It's hard to believe that just three years ago, when the Kansas City Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl, the entire league was exclaiming that they were a dark horse; but now the situation has taken a 180-degree turn.

The San Francisco 49ers were focused and meticulous. It was not so much a solemn atmosphere as a concentration. Although the players occasionally laughed and joked with each other, the overall atmosphere seemed particularly serious. From warm-up to basic training to tactical training, they kept striving for perfection.

All in all, this is the first time the San Francisco 49ers have returned to the Super Bowl stage after seven seasons. The era of Harbaugh and Kaepernick seems to have been far away in the last century. There are only a few players and staff members left in the current team.

Everything is brand new.

Especially since Shanahan, as the offensive coordinator, experienced the Atlanta Falcons' comeback against the New England Patriots four years ago, the psychological trauma should still exist. This requires Shanahan, who has a "perfect planning personality", to show 200% attitude to avoid repeating the same mistake.

So, the atmosphere became completely different.

The same situation can be interpreted in completely different ways. It can be interpreted as the Kansas City Chiefs are arrogant and do not take the San Francisco 49ers seriously at all, and pride may become an obstacle that trips them up; the San Francisco 49ers are determined to win and are ready to face all difficulties with an all-out attitude.

Similarly, this can be interpreted as the San Francisco 49ers are under great pressure and may be too nervous before the final battle, while the Kansas City Chiefs are confident and calm, keeping a normal mind and preparing for the game step by step as if it were an ordinary game.

Of course, this can also be interpreted as a smokescreen and psychological warfare. After all, this is an open training session, and both Shanahan and Reid are aware of this. What they put on the table is a gesture, an attempt to confuse and deceive their opponents, but no one knows the actual situation.

See, everything is possible.

All kinds of speculation and attention continue to boil over, making people deeply feel the attention paid to Super Bowl 54.

Total explosion.

Everything went as expected, starting with the eight-game winning streak at the start of the regular season. The league's bustling eyes have been looking towards the Super Bowl early on, just like last season's "Los Angeles Rams vs. Kansas City Chiefs". In the end, the San Francisco 49ers lived up to expectations and made it to the Super Bowl.

"Garoppolo vs. Levi", the matchup that has been hyped up throughout the season, is finally about to take place, perfectly responding to Goodell's expectations.

Brady is getting older and has temporarily left the spotlight. He didn't even make the Pro Bowl this season. The "GOAT vs. Rookie" matchup should also slowly fade out of sight. Instead, it's not Donald, Watt, Henry or Watson, but Garoppolo.

Brady's successor.

From "Big Manning vs. Brady" to "Brady vs. Levi" and then to "Levi vs. Garoppolo", the NFL has completed a perfect and smooth inheritance.

if!

A hypothesis, if the San Francisco 49ers beat the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl this season, it would not only mean that the traditional powerhouse San Francisco 49ers have returned to their position, but also that they defeated the two-time defending champions who had maintained an undefeated regular season, and Garoppolo defeated Levi after defeating Rogers to win the championship.

It couldn't be more perfect.

By then, Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers will ascend to the throne, and the NFL will officially enter an era of new generation domination. "Garopolo vs. Levi" will become the new theme of the league. The topic of "quarterback vs. running back" will also become a new footnote in the era of offense being king in the league, rewriting history.

Perfect, absolutely perfect, a perfect script that even a Hollywood screenwriter couldn't write.

It is so smooth, so seamless, and so natural that one can hardly even detect the presence of a script.

Just imagining it, I can't help but get excited. Goodell is worthy of being Goodell. He is the biggest contributor to leading the NFL into a new era. Now he has naturally and seamlessly transitioned from the "era of the four elite quarterbacks" to the new era of the full rise of a new generation and the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

It is foreseeable that the NFL will develop better and better in the future, and the "Golden Boy Battle" will inevitably detonate the global market. By then, everyone will make a fortune.

So, the ultimate suspense now lies in whether the San Francisco 49ers can really stop the Kansas City Chiefs from making history? Will the Super Bowl story really end smoothly according to the script?
