Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1602 Li Wei's Grand Slam
According to official league statistics, the NFLN special program revealing the top 100 players, particularly the episode featuring the top ten, set a viewership record.

Especially when the second place was revealed, the viewership instantly soared to 23 million, a level comparable to that of an NFL regular season game.

Originally, the importance of the list of the top 100 players lies in the result, not the process of revealing it. Just like an awards ceremony, no one watches a four-hour-long ceremony. Instead, they just wait for the ceremony to end and see the list of winners. Therefore, the show's ratings have always been mediocre. All netizens are waiting for the list to be released and searching for the names of their favorite players. The show itself does not attract much attention.

However, this time is different. After a legendary season, a complex mix of emotions has emerged, and expectations for the top 100 players list have changed. Fans don't want to miss the live broadcast and can't afford to miss it. They need to witness the results immediately, not be spoiled after the results are announced. They need to experience the thrill of their hearts pounding, their blood boiling, and their adrenaline surging, just like a real live game broadcast.

As a result, the ratings skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.

So why is it second place?

Because everyone knows that it's either Levi or Lamar Jackson, once the second place is revealed, the answer to the first place will be self-evident.

Thump, thump, thump, heart pounding as over 30 million viewers across North America tuned in to NFLN, their anticipation akin to that of the Oscars.

Finally, the answer is out—

Second place goes to Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

Exclamations of surprise. gasps of astonishment. screams of delight. ecstasy. curses. madness.

The reactions exploded across social media in an instant. Li Wei's fans and Jackson's fans were like fire and ice, completely losing their minds. Online traffic surged to its peak. The league had never witnessed such a frenzy in the past ten years, and even Goodell was dumbfounded.

Indeed, Jackson had an incredible season, completely redefining expectations for quarterbacks as a new generation of quarterbacks.

But can Jackson be copied or replaced?
The answer is yes. Kansas City Chiefs' Mahomes and Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen are both good candidates. Perhaps their individual performances are slightly inferior, but the sparks they create with their teams are in no way inferior to those of the Baltimore Ravens.

After all, rugby is ultimately a team sport.

Moreover, even setting aside his disappointing performance of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, Jackson's insane stats in the regular season were also inconsistent and flawed. His ups and downs, with one superhuman performance followed by a mediocre one, ultimately prevented him from leading the team to more victories with incredible statistics.

Jackson was outstanding, extremely outstanding. In another year, he would have easily won the regular season MVP and topped the list of the 100 best players.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Jackson ultimately fell short; compared to a true king, the young Jackson still needed to grow.

From the NCAA to the NFL, this suddenly emerging super talent has never been able to escape the mountain above his head and continues to be overshadowed by someone.

When the live broadcast revealed the second place winner, football fans across North America already knew the result; the first place winner was a foregone conclusion.

Only one player deserves this title—

Li Wei.

Kansas City Chiefs running back, Reeves, topped the league's list of 100 best players for the second consecutive year, a testament to the league's professional players' recognition. The suspense seemed nonexistent; according to league insiders, the advantage was clear, extremely clear, and Jackson had no chance. Just like the regular season MVP voting, there was discussion, disagreement, hesitation, and indecision, but in the final vote, Reeves' name was written without a doubt, a clear winner, standing alone at the top once again.

Thus, Levi made history once again, becoming the second player after Brady to top the list of the 100 greatest players for two consecutive years.

A true champion needs no further explanation.

Furthermore, from Pro Bowl vote leader to regular season MVP and Super Bowl MVP to topping the list of the league's top 100 players, he has completed the "Leeway Grand Slam" for the second consecutive year.

The list of the league's top 100 players was only launched in the 2011 season, and it has not been ten years since then. The so-called history still needs to be accumulated and settled slowly, and there is nothing worth writing about for the time being. However, Lawson, who was a "Lee Wei fan" on ESPN's "Inside the League" program last season, accidentally discovered this detail.

That is, Li Wei has won all the praise inside and outside the league in every way. He was voted the Pro Bowl King by fans, the Regular Season MVP and Super Bowl MVP by media reporters, and the number one player in the players' vote for the 100 best players. He has conquered all football fans from the inside out and from top to bottom.

A brand new name has emerged: "Li Wei Grand Slam".

The first and only winner in NFL history!
After Lawson made his suggestion, it immediately received praise and recognition from both inside and outside the league. It was definitely not just the job of a "Lee Wei fanboy." In fact, Lawson grasped the key point, and his perspective was indeed unique and ingenious.

Just imagining it in your mind is enough to realize how difficult it is to achieve a Grand Slam. It requires not only top-level dominance from the regular season to the playoffs and the Super Bowl, but also winning over fans, reporters, and colleagues in every way. In this information age where different opinions are flying everywhere, the difficulty may be ten or a hundred times greater.

It's practically an impossible task.

Upon closer reflection, not only in the modern era of players like Manning and Brady, but also throughout the entire century-long history of the NFL, there are virtually no players capable of accomplishing such a feat.

However, Li Wei succeeded, not only once, but also a second time in a row—

There was an uproar.

Later, the league also recognized this statement and named it "Season Grand Slam," marking a player's feat of completing all possibilities in a single season. Regardless of subsequent performance, a single "Season Grand Slam" is enough to leave a significant mark on the league's history.

"Season Grand Slam" - an unattainable dream, a new level of achievement. It is not an official honor, but it is endowed with supreme glory and authority.

Interestingly, although the league has officially given it a name, it is still known as the "Lee Wei Grand Slam" in the hearts of fans and industry insiders, and in word of mouth on the streets. It is a feat exclusive to Lee Wei, and also a completely new field that Lee Wei pioneered, a unique existence.

Moreover, the same applies to professional players.

Otherwise, imagine, in such a competitive professional league, in such a competitive sports arena where the desire to win and the will to win are so strong, how could players possibly be willing to submit to the same player for two consecutive years? How could they possibly willingly continue to offer their respect?
He is the only player since Brady to accomplish such a feat, and this praise alone demonstrates Levi's status in the league.

Moreover, he is a running back.
