Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1633 Adding fuel to the fire
Frustrated. Resentful. Gloomy. Curled up. Wriggling.

O'Brien's cheeks stung with a burning pain. A complex mix of emotions, indescribable in words, overwhelmed his reason. Without warning, the string snapped, and his chest erupted like a volcano. His muscles, which he had been trying his best to suppress but were still taut to the extreme, began to tremble slightly.

When the Houston Texans were united and giving their all in the game, with victory as their ultimate goal, little did they know that their actions and efforts were utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Kansas Chiefs, like children playing around or monkeys performing tricks. Their struggles were nothing more than a joke.

Even worse... JJ Watt.

Watt now seems to have completely transformed into a member of the Kansas Chiefs, utterly abandoning all memories of his Houston Texans past, and recklessly and gleefully joining the frenzied wave at Arrowhead Stadium, dancing on O'Brien's tattered and riddled dignity.

A slap landed hard on O'Brien's cheek.

With his teeth clenched so tightly they were almost breaking, O'Brien barely managed to control himself. He would prove himself right, he would prove himself the only victor, he would redeem himself by defeating the Kansas Chiefs and humiliating Watt, and he would make the whole world cheer and applaud for him.

With a turn, O'Brien walked toward Watson, his dark and deep gaze fixed intently on the young man.

O'Brien saw anger in Watson's eyes, a raging fire of anger. Even though he was right in front of him, Watson's peripheral vision remained fixed on Levi's back. Without a word, O'Brien could deeply feel the complex emotions churning in Watson's chest and mind at that moment.

This is a good thing.

O'Brien just needs to add fuel to the fire: "They don't care about you."

"They don't believe you can fight back, they don't believe you can win, they are ignoring your existence and despising your abilities. They think you will obediently surrender like a coward; and they are ready to laugh at your failure and push you into the trash heap."

"Because in their eyes, you are a piece of trash."

Watson hardened his fist, thrusting forward with all his might, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour O'Brien whole. "I'm not."

O'Brien stared intently at Watson, pressing on, "In JJ Watt's eyes, you're just a domesticated little rabbit."

Watson roared back, his mouth agape and spittle flying, "I! Am! Not! Grass!"

O'Brien slammed the ball back, "Then prove it to me. No, prove yourself, shut this damn stadium up."

Watson, "Aa ...

Roaring, howling, surging with passion.

O'Brien knew Watson was ready. He believed Watson was the future of Houston Texans, the next Super Bowl champion, and now he needed Watson to step up and prove it. They couldn't wait any longer.

This has to happen this season. It has to!
This scene was clearly noticed by the live stream viewers as well.

“We believe…in fact, we know that right now the entire league is focused on this game, and nobody wants to miss the start of the new season.” “More importantly, nobody wants to miss a rematch of the Conference Finals between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans.”

"The Kansas Chiefs displayed impressive form, quickly getting into the rhythm, using feints and runs to lure the enemy in, and creating opportunities through cover and split-pushing while making their final plays."

"It's still the professor, of course it's the professor, without a doubt it's the professor. Just like in the 2017 season opener, when the professor burst onto the scene with a touchdown return from the opening tip-off, this time the professor completed an 85-yard long-distance touchdown run, establishing a lead for the team in less than 30 seconds at the start of the game."

"Clearly, as the entire league eagerly awaited the return of football, the three-time defending champions shared the same sentiment. There was no sense of dejection as expected, nor the emptiness and numbness that comes with making history. Their desire for the championship and victory grew wildly amidst the long wait and difficult circumstances. This challenging period, on the contrary, became a journey for the Kansas City Chiefs to calm down, regain their fighting spirit, and awaken their original aspirations."

"Then, they unleashed their full potential on the first down, demonstrating their strength and desire through action. That burning flame did not disappear; on the contrary, it seamlessly connected with the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, continuing that spirit and will, and once again awakening the dormant Arrows Field."

"Wonderful!"

"Without a doubt, the Kansas City Chiefs are still worth watching, and now it's time for the Houston Texans to respond."

“From a defensive perspective, JJ Watt’s departure forced O’Brien to adjust the defensive playbook and expect the linebackers to play a more significant role. However, this attempt proved ineffective against the beast and exposed a series of weaknesses, which is undoubtedly a challenge for O’Brien.”

"So, what about the attacking team?"

“Last season, Watson underwent a transformation and growth, and he has become one of the most anticipated young quarterbacks in the league. However, being highly anticipated is not enough. In the AFC Championship game, Watson’s performance was unsatisfactory. If the Houston Texans want to go further, Watson needs to show more composure and toughness in key moments, shoulder the offensive responsibility of the team, and prove that he is the quarterback material to win the Super Bowl.”

“Hopkins’ departure this offseason deprived Watson of his most reliable and powerful passing target, which means the burden on Watson’s shoulders has increased further. O’Brien should have a Plan B ready, and now is the time for him to show his abilities.”

"To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for the Kansas City Chiefs' offense because we all know the abilities of Mahomes and Levi, and the trio of Hill, Kelsey, and Hardman won't disappoint. New season, new look, but the Kansas City Chiefs are still the Kansas City Chiefs we know."

"What's really exciting is the Houston Texans' offense, and whether O'Brien and Watson can work their magic and turn things around from last season."

"Now, the answer is finally about to be revealed."

They were eager and ready to try.

The attitude in the live broadcast also represents the attitude of the league from top to bottom. From Mahomes to Jackson, the new generation of quarterbacks have made strong debuts in the past two seasons, threatening Levi's position as the league's number one player. This is encouraging, and everyone is raising their arms and shouting that a superstar has been born.

Is it possible for a new generation of quarterbacks to dominate the league for the third consecutive season?
Gallopolo? Josh Allen? This year's number one draft pick, Joe Burrow?

Or perhaps...Watson?

It was amidst such anticipation that Watson led the Houston Texans offense onto the court, drawing attention and creating a new peak. Even through the television screen, one could feel the sweltering heat from all corners of North America, frantically enveloping Arrowhead Stadium.
