Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1690 Laughing at the Changing World
Some people may wonder why the San Francisco 49ers have such a special status in the league?
In terms of the number of Super Bowls, Hall of Famers, NFL records, and dynasty achievements, the San Francisco 49ers don't even rank highly; however, coaches, players, and even league staff all have a special affection for this team.

why?
The reason is that the San Francisco 49ers invented the "West Coast Offense" system, which completely overturned the league's tactical system in which running backs occupied the core of the team. The quarterback was given new abilities and a new role, and the entire tactical system of football entered a new era, and the commercialization of football also entered a new stage.

It is no exaggeration to say that the origin of modern football is the San Francisco 49ers.

This is why the San Francisco 49ers have always held a special status. Legendary players such as Brady and Rodgers have all dreamed of wearing the San Francisco 49ers' red and gold jerseys, just like Ferrari's status in the world of Formula 1 racing. A team can represent a sport.

Now, the same applies to the Kansas Chiefs.

While it may not yet be able to match the level of tactical innovation of the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs are indeed bringing a fresh look to all aspects of their team.

Tactics. Draft. Long-term strategy. Team structure.

Etc., etc.

The Kansas City Chiefs serve as a template, setting an example and becoming not only a target that everyone wants to defeat, but also a target that everyone wants to follow, learn from, and replicate. A wave of imitation is quietly spreading throughout the league. More importantly, the Kansas City Chiefs are following in the footsteps of the San Francisco 49ers, opening up the market landscape and paving the way for football to expand its commercial market, attracting millions of new fans.

In the eyes of these new fans, the Kansas City Chiefs are the beginners, and Levi is the guide.

"Rugby = Kansas Chiefs".

It's that simple. Naturally, the Kansas City Chiefs' status in the league has become increasingly special, and these profound effects cannot be reflected in simple data.

Whether it's the number of Super Bowl titles, regular season wins and losses, or historical records, none of them matter. Those cold numbers can show the Kansas City Chiefs' dominance on the field, but they cannot reflect the Kansas City Chiefs' dominance off the field, which is enough to change the dominance of a sport.

Step by step, the Chief of Kansas is building a brand new dynasty and ushering in a new era.

When people discuss iconic NFL teams, a series of names immediately come to mind: the San Francisco 49ers, the pioneers of the passing era; the seven-time champion Pittsburgh Steelers; the Dallas Cowboys, the "Team USA" backed by Texas; and the New England Patriots, the kings of the new century.

And now, we should also add the history-maker, the Chief of Kansas!

Against this backdrop, the 2020 regular season came to a close, and all eyes were once again drawn back to the NFL field.

Despite the Kansas City Chiefs being public enemy number one, despite all teams in the league having targeted them early on and even engaging in an arms race during the offseason, despite the numerous difficulties and setbacks encountered throughout the long season, despite all teams being on high alert, and despite everyone being united in their search for a way to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs—

Despite the Las Vegas Raiders rightfully becoming the first team in two seasons to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.

Things remain unchanged.

As the saying goes, "Death. Taxes. Kansas City Chiefs win." These are the three things in life that we can never avoid, and they permeate everyone's life.

Once again, for the third consecutive year, the season has come to a close, with the Kansas City Chiefs leading the AFC and the entire league, and proudly securing their place in the playoffs.

Number one seed!
With their exclusive home-field advantage, the Kansas City Chiefs once again enjoy full home-field advantage in the playoffs. It remains to be seen how Arrowhead Stadium will perform in the playoffs this year. This year is particularly special and rare because the 2020 season saw the addition of an extra playoff spot, bringing the total number of teams competing for the Super Bowl from six to seven. The only teams that can avoid the Wild Card round and enjoy a first-round bye are the top seeds from the American League and the National League, respectively.

The Kansas chief, watching the world go by with a smile.

With a record of 14 wins and 2 losses, leading the league, the Kansas City Chiefs, while unable to replicate their undefeated season of the previous year, showcased their composure and confidence in the 2020 season. Even with a bench rotation in the final week of the regular season, they still secured the league's number one seed early on.

Strong!

"Madden's Curse"? What's that? Is it tasty?
The Kansas Chiefs said that under Levi's leadership, they will continue to write history, break records, maintain the top league standings, and create miracles.

Strong teams like the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, and Buffalo Bills all suffered defeats, proving the value of the Kansas City Chiefs' number one seed position. The league's praise spree has run out of words, leaving them speechless.

It will be the top of the list, and the mountains are small.

This is the Kansas City Chiefs, steadfastly marching toward their fourth consecutive championship.

So, who can stop the Kansas Chiefs, and who is tasked with the important mission of sniping and overthrowing the Kansas Chiefs?
All curses and spells have been crushed by the Kansas chieftain; perhaps only a completely new and unknown situation can stop them.

Seven playoff spots.

In the 2020 season, the NFL implemented its first reform, adding one playoff spot to each conference, increasing the number of playoff spots from six to seven.

As with the previous wildcard slots, the ranking is based on the federation's record. Originally there were only two wildcard slots, but now there are three. The rules are the same, but the overall landscape may undergo a dramatic change, and there may even be a spectacular scene where all four teams in a division make it to the playoffs.

This means that one more team has disrupted the existing order, and one more variable has been added to the balance.

Under these circumstances, whether the Kansas City Chiefs can establish themselves and continue their strong playoff performance amidst the ever-changing tides is a question no one can answer, including the Kansas City Chiefs themselves, because everything is new and all teams must proceed cautiously.

Who knows? That's an unknown factor that could create chaos, just like the New York Giants did back then.

The New York Giants upset the New England Patriots twice, both times in similar situations, breaking out of the chaos and pulling off unexpected victories.

In the NFL, the gap between teams is very small, chaos often means opportunity, chaos often means change, and this year's new situation is even more so.

In the past, there was the "Black Six Myth," but can we now witness the "Black Seven Miracle"?

At least!

Two more teams have been added to the playoff challenge against the Kansas City Chiefs: one from the American League and one from the National League.

From the moment the playoff roster was finalized, things changed. It was just a federation adding one more spot, but why does the playoff roster seem so much longer?
