Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1702 A Long Journey
Powerful. Fluent. Sharp.

The first quarter felt more like a warm-up. In the second quarter, the Kansas City Chiefs gradually picked up the pace, bared their fangs, and completely took over the game, showing a completely new look.

Rhythm is undoubtedly the signature weapon of the Kansas City Chiefs. Once they get into a rhythm and control the game, their overwhelming force is unstoppable, and almost no one in the league can stop them. This season, they have not only shown their style on offense, but also on defense.

The storm raged on, layer upon layer, and the Buffalo Bills trembled. They faced all-around pressure on both offense and defense, and suffered a series of defeats. They were instantly transported back to the nightmare of being completely suppressed in Week 6 of the regular season. All the strategies and plans they had discussed on paper before the game were useless, and they were suddenly caught in a chaotic predicament.

Buffalo Bills studied the game footage repeatedly, not only their own, but also that of the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers. They believed they had the key to defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, or at least to a close contest until the very end.

However, when they actually stood on the stage of the federation finals, and in front of the "playoff chiefs", their naivety and immaturity were exposed. Their lack of experience was foreseeable, but their disadvantages in all aspects, such as mentality, condition, tactics, and performance, left them at a loss.

Now they understand why their opponents were able to dominate the league for four consecutive years.

Incredibly, after the first quarter, the Buffalo Bills were unable to score. The more they wanted to score, the less they could. The less they could score, the more they recalled the Tennessee Titans from last season. The more they recalled the memory, the more frustrated and anxious they became. It was a vicious cycle that trapped them.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Buffalo Bills, facing elimination and with nothing to lose, finally broke through the fog and scored again.

But against an opponent like the Kansas City Chiefs, it was already too late. The second and third quarters were completely under the control of the Kansas City Chiefs, who methodically and steadily entered the fourth quarter. It wasn't garbage time, but it was practically over.

This time, the Kansas City Chiefs did not field their reserve lineup; their starters remained on the field.

Because they need to compete, they need to play, and they need to maintain their form.

From the zonal tournament to the federation finals, the Kansas City Chiefs were incredibly dominant, overwhelming their opponents in one fell swoop with almost no resistance.

But Reed knew that their Super Bowl opponents wouldn't do that. Neither Brady nor Arians could easily get caught up in the Kansas City Chiefs' rhythm, which meant they might face a strong counterattack. If the Kansas City Chiefs couldn't get into the game, they might not be able to keep up.

In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs need to compete and play to keep themselves alert.

They used the Buffalo Bills as a warm-up for the Super Bowl.

For Buffalo Bill, what could be more humiliating than this?

However, what could they say or do? Looking at the scoreboard above Arrowhead Stadium, they sank into despair, all their anger turning into frustration and shame.

"17:45".

The score was lopsided, like a joke.

Without a doubt, the Kansas City Chiefs never relinquished the lead after taking the lead, setting a new benchmark for the biggest score difference in this season's playoffs. They finished the game decisively and ruthlessly, ending the Buffalo Bills' ordeal and extinguishing all suspense.

"fly!"

"fly!"

Arrowhead Stadium, the atmosphere was deafening.

There was no mockery, no attacks, no kicking someone when they're down, only the boiling passion of a united people. It wasn't even a celebration of victory, but simply a passionate, selfless fight to the very last moment, heads held high, facing the outcome with a clear conscience, moving on to the next battle. Josh Allen stood there, bewildered, gazing up at the vast, boundless sea of ​​red. It wasn't despair, sadness, or pain, just utter bewilderment, like looking into a black hole, straining to see what lay within, only to find endless darkness.

He genuinely believed they could win.

It wasn't out of contempt for the Kansas City Chiefs, but rather out of respect, admiration, and reverence, that he yearned more than ever to follow in Levi's footsteps. He spent countless hours on the training field and in the tactics room, hoping to defeat them honorably in the game and eventually become a player like Levi.

However, it was a crushing defeat, still a crushing defeat.

They thought they were strong enough, not only to reach the top of the American League East but also to be the No. 2 seed, finally becoming a truly strong team.

But when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs, their true colors were revealed. Whether it was Week 6 of the regular season or the Conference Finals, they never had a chance.

There is still a long way to go before becoming a truly powerful team.

Josh Allen's bewildered and confused gaze searched unconsciously through the crowd until he finally spotted him, the figure in the red jersey number 23. His scattered and confused focus gradually refocused, his loose hands slowly clenched, and he rediscovered his goal to keep running and fighting.

In a daze, number 23 turned around, and their eyes met. He smiled at Josh Allen and gestured to his shoulder, telling Josh Allen to stand tall, face the result with dignity, and have no regrets.

Josh Allen quietly opened his shoulders and straightened his back, and then he saw a smile bloom in the eyes of number 23, shining brightly.

Without realizing it, Josh Allen also regained his smile. One day, he will catch up with that figure and walk side by side with him.

The night game ultimately ended in a blowout.

The Buffalo Bills, who were expected to be the future of the league, only played one good quarter. They appeared immature and inexperienced against the three-time defending champions, like a toddler learning to walk. In the end, they were unable to put much pressure on their opponents, and the playoffs turned into an exhibition game.

However, before the fans could even complain about the one-sidedness of the game, they were filled with admiration, shock, and surprise. The Kansas City Chiefs were playing so strongly that the Buffalo Bills saw absolutely no chance. Even if they gave it their all and fought to the very end, there was no possibility of turning the game around.

For a moment, I had the illusion that the Kansas City Chiefs had actually upgraded their team from last season.

So, who can challenge the Kansas Chiefs?
After all, everything has come to an end, and the long marathon of an entire season has finally entered the final sprint of the last 400 meters.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a strong run by defeating the Buffalo Bills, becoming only the second team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl four years in a row.

The first one was Buffalo Bill.

Unlike the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to launch an unprecedented and unparalleled four-peat, writing a new chapter in the league's history.

And so it happened. The predictions that started with the offseason arms race went round and round, full of ups and downs, twists and turns, but in the end it came back to square one, a standard ending, a matchup without any surprises or unexpected results, and it was a cycle.

In that instant, I was transported back to the opening game of the 2017 regular season; even with my eyes closed, I could still hear the boisterous cheers and jeers echoing throughout the league.

"Goat vs. Novice".
