Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 261: Strength Opens the Way

"The whole game is over."

"The final score was '31:10'. The Kansas City Chiefs easily defeated the Los Angeles Chargers and escaped unscathed from the away game, continuing their undefeated streak this season."

"Levi, who was at the center of the storm of topics, once again delivered a perfect answer, carrying the ball 185 times, advancing yards on the ground, and scoring two touchdowns."

"He responded to the media's doubts with an absolutely strong attitude and proved with practical actions that all the attacks in the preseason were groundless. He was not only able to adapt to the intensity of professional competitions, but also contributed high-level performances in three consecutive games. He is undoubtedly the best performing player among this year's rookies."

“In fact, it’s more than just rookies.”

"Currently, Levi is leading the league in both ground-advance yards and touchdowns, leading a list of superstars as a rookie."

"After this game, there is not much suspense about the September selection. After being elected the American League's Best Offensive Player as a rookie in the first week and sweeping the league's best rookie list in the past three weeks, Levi's election as the league's best rookie of the month in September is a result that everyone expected."

"To be precise, we should set our sights higher and further, and talk about the past and the present."

"In three games, he advanced 509 yards on the ground and scored seven touchdowns. These two data may be the performance that countless running backs cannot achieve in games in a season; but Levi completed it in just three games. With such performance, he also surpassed Adrian Peterson and broke a series of records, becoming the rookie with the best performance in the first three games in NFL history."

"Since the turn of the millennium, Peterson's data in his first three games as a rookie is generally considered unsurpassed: 271 yards on the ground, 160 yards receiving, a total of 431 yards. Such performance is believed to be dominant, and the facts also prove that Peterson is indeed qualified to compete for the best in history."

"However."

"Levi is now setting a benchmark that cannot be surpassed. Not only rookie running backs, but also wide receivers, tight ends, and even a small number of quarterbacks, probably cannot perform like this in the first three games of their rookie season and redefine the word 'dominance'."

"This is not only a record for the Kansas City Chiefs, but also a record for the entire league. We may need to pay attention to this when we use the word 'dominance' in the future."

"Rookie."

"Until now, the league still calls Levi the 'rookie'. Originally, this nickname should have been a humiliation, but now it has become a footnote to witness a miracle."

"Every time people call Levi a 'rookie', it further proves that Levi's performance so far has been incredible."

“We are all witnesses.”

"When the media questioned Levi's ability again and again, when public opinion was not optimistic about Levi's prospects again and again, under overwhelming pressure, this was Levi's response."

"I have no way of knowing whether Levi has missed training or has been having a blast, but at least from now on, even if he doesn't have training, it won't have any impact."

"So, who's the joke now?"

Bart: Stop hitting me. My cheeks are swollen like a pig's head.

To be honest, they didn't expect the Los Angeles Chargers to be able to transform themselves overnight and perform at the top level, but at least quarterback Rivers shouldn't be so bad; but they never expected that the Kansas City Chiefs completely destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers in the first quarter.

Before the first half was over, fans at home started to leave one after another. The first season after moving to Los Angeles was particularly difficult for the Lightning.

Bart really has no desire to live.

However, at the end of the game, the players of Kansas City Chiefs seemed a little bored. They did not celebrate and went to the hospital immediately.

Safety Eric Berry ruptured his Achilles tendon.

In the first quarter of the game, in a non-contact defense, Berry fell to the ground holding his ankle when his foot landed, and grabbed Levi's heart fiercely.

Although they all knew that competitive sports were often accompanied by injuries, and Lilith's test results last week had also sent out a signal in advance, when this scene actually happened, it was still hard to watch.

When Berry left the field, the tough guy who had never been defeated after two serious injuries had red eyes and looked up at the sky. He tried his best to control himself, but still shed tears. Berry also knew that his body could not continue to withstand more injuries. Perhaps this injury would announce the countdown of his career in advance. So far, Berry has fought hard in the league for many years, but he has not been able to stand on the Super Bowl stage to show himself.

Sigh. Lonely. Sad.

No one knows what is waiting for Berry ahead, including Levi who traveled back through time.

It is precisely because of this that the Kansas City Chiefs were able to inspire their fighting spirit and completely destroyed the Los Angeles Lightning in the first quarter.

After the game, the Kansas City Chiefs had no time to celebrate their victory. They rushed to the hospital to visit Berry, and then received a cruel news:

Season ended.

It was obviously Berry who was injured, but when his teammates showed up, it was Berry who comforted these young people and made jokes like an older brother.

"This is bad. Our second line of defense is going to be beaten into a sieve. Can you guys do it?"

"How about you guys hold on for a while, and I'll try my best and come back to help you out during the playoffs?"

The atmosphere in the ward was a bit solemn. Berry was trying to liven it up and kept joking.

Until Reed came in and kicked all the players out.

Levi also went out, and then realized that he had completely forgotten that after the game, a Kansas City Chiefs fan living in Los Angeles threw a signed cheering scarf, hoping that Levi could give it to Berry, hoping that Berry would recover as soon as possible and continue to represent the Chiefs.

After saying something to Reed, Levi left and came back.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Levi saw Berry staring blankly out the window.

There is no expression, no sadness, no anger, no disappointment, just calmness, but that kind of calmness reveals a kind of lonely bitterness.

Involuntarily, Levi was also stunned——

Berry injured his Achilles tendon, also known as his Achilles heel.

Even a layman knows that the difficulty of rehabilitation and recovery is almost an impossible task.

Levi tried to comfort Berry, but found that no words were enough to express his inner feelings. Those inspirational quotes were more like a joke in the face of real pain and the long unknown. Even after two lives, Levi did not have the answers to all the questions.

Instead, it was Barry who noticed Levi first. He quickly calmed down and smiled again, "Hey, rookie."

Levi took a deep breath and handed over the cheering scarf.

Levi stood at the end of the bed, wanting to leave but unable to move.

Berry understood and could tell at a glance, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I'm used to it."

Levi knew that this was not the case, but what should he say?

"The doctor said how long will it take to recover?" Levi asked.

Berry was stunned, and said subconsciously, "At least five months."

Levi was a little disappointed, "Ah, what a shame. If I had tried harder, maybe I could have made it to the Super Bowl."
