Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 287 The Red Flag Flying
In just one week, Bart made a 180-degree turn, holding high the "Levi" banner and becoming Levi's unwavering loyal supporter. The speed of his change was so fast that other colleagues could not recognize him.

Bart could feel the eyes of the crowd falling on him, with astonishment, surprise, confusion, etc., but he didn't mind -

Not only do they not mind, but they particularly enjoy continuing to stand in the spotlight.

"Brain," Bart pointed to his head, "This is Levi's greatest weapon."

"This means that Levi's ceiling is higher than Charles', he has the ability to change the game, and the Kansas City Chiefs may have a chance to go further this season."

Roar, roar, roar—

There's no word on other places for now, but at least the Old Oak Tavern agrees.

They have had enough of the season ending bleakly with a hasty elimination from the playoffs. Their hopes have been ignited time and time again but extinguished again and again, which is like torture.

But this year is different.

Anderson also looked at the TV screen. Maybe this season is indeed different.

The heavy burden of the hustle and bustle was inexplicably placed on Levi's shoulders, a running back?
This is indeed the first time.

However, Barthes's views were so shocking that there was no shortage of objections.

After all, the current NFL is still dominated by passing the ball, and the quarterback is the key to changing the game and the team. This is a general consensus in the league. Bart has rolled from one extreme to another. There is no doubt that his opinions will be opposed by other professionals.

Lawson watched Bart quietly and immediately saw through Bart's strategy:
From pouncing on someone to praising them, it's that simple.

In fact, Lawson agrees with Bart's point of view. Levi is different from Charles. His wisdom may become a key to give the Kansas Chiefs more possibilities. Maybe they can really go further this season.

But even though he agreed, Bart was pushed to the forefront by Levi with just a few words, and he did not emphasize the growth space of rookie players in the previous weeks. This may also give people unnecessary hope, and the overwhelming pressure may completely crush Levi——

Even if it doesn't, it could destroy the harmony of the Kansas City Chiefs locker room.

Lawson believes they should calm down.

Thus, a rare scene took place.

Bart, who "hates Levi", was singing praises, while Lawson, who "praises Levi", was stepping on the brakes. The audience who didn't know the cause and effect turned on the TV and thought they had traveled through a parallel universe.

"We should stay objective and take it one game at a time."

Lawson said.

"Let's not forget what happened after the 2013 season."

That season, the Kansas City Chiefs started with nine consecutive wins and continued to advance, becoming the last undefeated team in the league. However, after returning from the tenth bye week, they completely lost their touch and rhythm.

In the next seven regular season games, the Kansas City Chiefs were completely lost, with only two wins and five losses, and were completely different from the team that was so powerful before.

Not to mention the league's top seed, it was even a hair's breadth away from missing the playoffs, and at the last moment it was relying on its competitors to fall behind before it could barely catch the last train to the playoffs. Who could have thought that the biggest favorite to win the championship in the first nine weeks would almost be kicked out of the playoffs?
Then, in the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Indianapolis Colts, who had just swept them in the penultimate week of the regular season, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The Kansas City Chiefs were leading 31:10 in the first half, but their opponents made a comeback. Andrew Luck made a 44-yard super long touchdown pass with 45 seconds left in the game, and finally completed the buzzer-beater at :, advancing to the next round on the shoulders of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tragic, tragic——

This is the 2013 season for the Kansas City Chiefs.

What's even sadder is that when people look back on the 2013 season, they can remember the peak season of the best Denver Broncos offense and Seattle Seahawks defense led by Manning, but no one remembers the Kansas City Chiefs who led the league for the first two-thirds of the season.

We need to be vigilant to the lessons learned from the past. However, Bart disagrees.

"No, it's quite different."

"Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs need to be wary of the dilemma of a lack of momentum in the second half of the season. The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint."

"But we should not lose sight of one important point."

"In the 2013 season, after the Kansas City Chiefs returned from the bye week, they faced the Denver Broncos, led by Peyton Manning. That offense was qualified to compete for the best offense in history. The Kansas City Chiefs' defense couldn't stop Manning, so it can't be considered a failure."

"In fact, of the five losses in the last seven games, two were to the Denver Broncos, two were to the San Diego Chargers and one was to the Indianapolis Colts, all of which were playoff teams, and all of which were teams that made at least the second round of the playoffs."

"In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs just lost in a strong clash."

A week ago, Bart said that this year's Kansas City Chiefs victory was not convincing and that the six-game winning streak was also a "fake strong team."

A week later, Bart said the 2013 Kansas City Chiefs deserve respect, even though they lost every time they played against a strong playoff team.

As expected, everyone has a mouth and can tell right from wrong based on nonsense.

"It's no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs haven't been strong enough or explosive enough in key moments, but this season is different."

"They have Levi."

"Yes, that's Levi."

"At the critical moment, Levi's toughness and outburst injected vitality into the Kansas City Chiefs, not only grasping the team's focus, but also leading the team to a breakthrough."

"In five of the past six games, the Kansas City Chiefs won all of them in the fourth quarter. Levi led the key offense that changed the rhythm of the game and completed the buzzer-beater against the Pittsburgh Steelers today."

“This is a whole new team.”

"We have reason to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs will not repeat the same mistakes."

Bart had a righteous look on his face, showing an attitude of defending Levi to the death, as if he had blocked all attacks for Levi alone. If you hadn't watched the previous six weeks of "Inside the Alliance", you might have been moved to tears at this moment. It was truly a touching friendship, comparable to that of Boya and Ziqi.

"What's more, the Kansas City Chiefs' upcoming schedule is also in their favor."

"Let's forget about the playoffs for a moment and focus on the regular season next week. So, Josh, what do you think? Who can win?"

Is this... putting the blame on someone else?
Lawson didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In Week 7 of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Oakland Raiders.

In the past two seasons, the Oakland Raiders have been on the rise, with a record of 2002 wins and losses last season. They seized the opportunity of the Denver Broncos' slump after Manning retired and teamed up with the Kansas City Chiefs to dominate the AFC West and return to the playoffs for the first time since .

However, the Oakland Raiders have run into some trouble this season, with two wins and four losses at the moment, and are in poor form, seemingly falling into chaos again.

From a rational, objective and professional perspective, the Kansas City Chiefs are undoubtedly the favorites. Bart threw a question to Lawson with the answer already filled in, waiting for Lawson to agree with his opinion.

Lawson smiled and said, "I think the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to continue their winning streak."

Bart: Good boy, really good boy.
