Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 266: The Messenger of Revenge

Although the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans are not rivals in the same division and do not have any long-standing historical entanglements, the fateful encounters between the two teams in the past two seasons have created a tense atmosphere among fans.

For the third consecutive season, the two teams met again in a narrow road.

Because they were the teams ranked first in their respective divisions last season, after the rotation, they inexplicably faced off for three consecutive years.

This is not a common sight, but it is precisely one of the important highlights of the game.

Second, both teams made it to the playoffs last season as the top teams in their divisions, and both are strong candidates to make the playoffs again this season.

For the Kansas City Chiefs, this is the second time this season, following the New England Patriots, that they will face a team that made the playoffs last season. The Chiefs, who have been criticized and complained about as a "pseudo-strong team," once again face a crucial battle to prove themselves.

In fact, although the Houston Texans have only two wins and two losses this season, their crushing victory over the Tennessee Titans last week was the focus of heated discussion throughout the league.

The Tennessee Titans had two wins and one loss in the first three weeks, showing good competitive form, but were completely crushed by the Houston Texans. They witnessed their opponents taking advantage of them and writing a series of historical records in their home stadium, and finally lost to their opponents with a huge score of "57:14", being nailed to the pillar of shame.

The terrifying state displayed by the Houston Texans on both offense and defense successfully set off an exclamation from the entire league. The pressure poured on the Kansas City Chiefs naturally increased steadily. This is definitely a severe test.

Third, topic.

JJ Watt, the three-time league's best defensive player in 2012, 2014 and 2015, is undoubtedly the league's most popular figure. If Brady is the league's number one player, then Watt is the league's most popular. This defensive player has completely overturned the situation of "everyone paying attention to the offensive team" and allowed people to see the style of the defensive team again.

The popularity is unparalleled at the moment.

Watt, as a defensive end, is the nightmare of quarterbacks and running backs. His breakthrough ability, tackling and killing ability, threat and destruction ability are all top-notch. This is a player who can turn the situation around by his own efforts.

This year's draft is hailed as a big year for defensive ends, but including the top pick Garrett, they all need to look up to Watt's powerful presence.

Naturally, the duel between Watt and Levi came online strongly.

Watt is the first time Levi has faced a truly superstar-level defensive end, and the quality of this rookie third pick is finally about to face a severe test.

Before this, whether it was Brady or Wentz, Levi and they were all in the offensive group and had no chance of direct confrontation; until now with Watt, this real matchup is enough to make the entire league excited.

Whether supporters or opponents, everyone is looking forward to this matchup.

In addition, no one should forget and no one will forget one thing:

At the draft earlier this year, the Houston Texans selected Clemson University quarterback Deshaun Watson with the twelfth pick in the first round.

"Crimson Tide vs. Clemson".

"Levi VS Watson".

Last season's classic NCAA showdown is about to be staged in the NFL.

In the two meetings in the NCAA arena, the "prodigy" Watson suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of the "Monkey King" Levi, especially the game in the US Championship which was absolutely heartbreaking.

Outside the court, he lost to Levi twice in a row, in the Heisman Trophy selection and the draft, and has been holding back until now.

at last!

Watson's chance for revenge finally came——

What could be more perfect?

If, just a hypothesis, the Houston Texans beat the Kansas City Chiefs, not only breaking the Kansas City Chiefs' undefeated season record, but also breaking Levi's undefeated record from college to professional games. All of this was done by Watson himself?

Just by painting the picture, the media had a collective orgasm.

From all aspects, "Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans" is indeed a focus game, and it is officially played as a Sunday night game.

Those who are interested will not miss an important fact: this is the third time that the Kansas City Chiefs have stepped onto the night game stage this season, or to be more precise, this is Levi's third time.

On the NFL field, the atmosphere of night games and non-night games is completely different.

First of all, the temperature, wind direction, and feel of the game are all different when playing at night than during the day.

Secondly, the atmosphere of the live broadcast across the United States is even more different, with more than 30 million viewers watching the live broadcast and more than 300 cameras surrounding it in all directions.

Many players are usually very capable but suddenly become a worm in the night game. Their performance in the night game is completely different. This is not uncommon. They are the so-called "Adou" who cannot seize the opportunity even if given one.

However, as of now, Levi's performance in night games is even better. He has proved with practical actions that he is a player born for big scenes. No wonder the league dares to arrange the schedule so blatantly.

Once again, the spotlight is on everyone.

This time, not only the fans and professionals, but also the brand sponsors are all paying attention, and overwhelming pressure is being vented.

however!
The course of the game was slightly different from expectations.

It can’t be said to be exciting, nor can it be said to be boring, but… the ups and downs, the twists and turns, are often surprising, and it is very demanding on the heart function. If you are not careful and fail to take a breath, you may go into shock——

Can't keep up the pace.

Opening.

In the first wave of attack, the duel between Levi and Watt lived up to expectations.

Levi first shook off Watt with a series of changes of direction and then stumbled to complete an eleven-yard advance, which simultaneously ignited social networks. The three-time league's best defensive player rarely looked so embarrassed.

Then, Watt counterattacked by intercepting Levi on the line of scrimmage with a precise and brutal tackle. The solid sound of muscles colliding with each other filled the stadium. Levi was like a little chicken in front of Watt.

You come and go, not giving an inch.

The game had just begun, but sparks were already flying and heartbeats were accelerating.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

It was Levi again. He made a sudden stop and turn to shake off Watt and tried to break through. Watt completed the second start inconceivably and barely stretched out his hand to disrupt Levi's steps and destroy Levi's balance, so that Levi stumbled forward and was surrounded and fell to the ground after barely advancing eight yards.

The clash between the two powerful opponents failed to determine the winner again, and the confrontation continued to be tense.

However, Watt fell to the ground after breaking his calf during this defense, and was finally taken away from the scene on a stretcher on an electric vehicle. The Houston Texans' hearts sank at home.

Last season, Watt was ruled out for the season due to a herniated disc and only played in three games. Will it happen again this season?
The extent of Watt's injury is currently unknown, and the Houston Texans quickly announced that Watt would not be able to return to this game, and that he would need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the specific situation.

This also became the first turning point of the game, and the Kansas City Chiefs immediately took over the game.
