Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 605 Keep up the good work
After a season of trials and tribulations, Levi knows how much pressure quarterbacks are under. No matter whether they are rookie or veteran quarterbacks, when a new season kicks off, they stand under the spotlight and are studied under a microscope by the media and fans.

Look at Wentz, look at Goff, look at Watson, no one is an exception.

Last season, quarterback Trubisky, who was selected by the Chicago Bears as the second pick over Levi, experienced a terrible nightmare rookie season. Endless attacks and nitpicking put him in hell all the time.

This season, it is inevitable that Mahomes, who was selected with the tenth overall pick in the first round, will take over the responsibility of starting quarterback of the defending champion from Smith.

The media's critical gaze was anticipated early on, and the pressure is unimaginable. Perhaps Levi, who entered the league as a rookie Asian running back last season, can feel it.

Therefore, Levi took the initiative and took a step ahead to share the pressure for Mahomes——

No matter what the media says, at least the Kansas City Chiefs locker room needs to unite and give Mahomes enough support and affirmation to help the young quarterback quickly gain a foothold and create a reasonable space for him to thrive.

After spending a season with Mahomes, Levi knows that Mahomes is the kind of player who needs affirmation and support. Compared with criticism and scolding, praise and suggestions can make Mahomes improve quickly.

Now, Levi is setting an example and being the first to take pioneering action.

Afterwards, the Kansas City Chiefs players followed suit and did not hesitate to give their praise and affirmation, helping the defending champions complete the quarterback handover.

From players to coaches, the unanimous praise made the young Mahomes overwhelmed. This simple and honest guy was lost in the frenzy of praise. He was full of enthusiasm, but didn't know how to express it.

That night he ran to his next-door neighbor Levi, jumping up and down excitedly. However, the next morning he got up even earlier than Levi to start training, and threw himself into the follow-up training with high morale.

Mahomes doesn't know how to repay the support of his teammates and fans. He just plunges into training, hoping to repay this trust and support with his performance on the field. He is completely full of enthusiasm.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mahomes' performance is indeed worthy of praise——

28 of 23 passes, 82.1% passing success rate, 326 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one receiving touchdown.

He is able to pass the ball in route passes as well as in secondary readings of the defense, and has the ability to pass the ball explosively. His outstanding athletic talent and strict tactical execution have won applause from the entire league for this quarterback.

Such data is indeed eye-catching, and it becomes even more rare and valuable against the background of "a sophomore taking over the starting quarterback position of the defending champion and shouldering the future of the team."

Although expectations were already very high, Mahomes still exceeded expectations with an even better performance and successfully won cheers and applause from the league.

There were brief moments that evoked memories of last season.

The season opener also faced a strong opponent, and the team also made a grand debut amid pressure and controversy. The Kansas City Chiefs also stole all the spotlight.

Last time it was Levi, this time it was Mahomes.

At this point, looking back at the 2017 draft, Vic's quick and controlled operations seem more and more magical and incredible.

Even Vecchi himself did not expect that he would be exposed under the spotlight all of a sudden; but if it could attract some firepower and relieve the pressure for Levi and Mahomes, Vecchi would have no choice but to step forward to face the media's bombardment so that the team could devote themselves to training wholeheartedly.

As Levi said, he believes that Mahomes' performance deserves the title of AFC Offensive Player of the Week, and the facts prove this -

Even after all other competitions in the first week ended, no game was as exciting as the season opener. No wonder the season opener could directly attract 30 million viewers and set the Internet on fire.

Naturally, the discussion of the AFC Player of the Week falls on the Kansas City Chiefs. "Levi vs. Mahomes".

The two players each had their supporters, but in the end Levi was the better player, winning more votes and winning the title of American League's Best Offensive Player in Week 2018 of the season, starting the new season with a strong performance.

The reason is——

People thought that Levi would lose the protection of the rookie halo in his sophomore year, be exposed to the intensive defense of the defensive team, and face the troubles of the rookie wall; however, in the targeted defensive strategy of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Levi still changed the outcome of the game with his convincing performance.

It can be seen from the side that after the stunning rookie season, although the eyes are more critical and the expectations are higher, at the same time, there are more and more voices of recognition. To continue to deny Levi's words, more theoretical data and opinions need to be supported, otherwise it will be a farce.

However, looking at it from another perspective, the season has just begun and there are still a series of challenges waiting ahead, so it is too early to draw any conclusions.

Recognition is not gained by slogans, but by playing one game after another.

In this regard, Levi always keeps a clear head——

The hustle and bustle of the Internet age are all bubbles, just bubbles.

Don't be confused, otherwise the bubble may disappear so quickly that you are caught off guard, and you will face the abyss before you have time to prepare.

Perhaps, this is Levi's greatest advantage in traveling from the future to the present. He has witnessed the hustle and bustle and turmoil of the next few years, and has experienced incredible time and space travel, which allows him to remain calm and focus on himself.

He needs to be down-to-earth, step by step, and feel the ground with his feet.

then.

After the opening game, after an ice bath, massage, recovery training and relaxation treatment, Levi did not leave, but stayed to watch the game video——

Especially the second section.

The opening game has ended, and the victory needs to be put aside for the time being. Next should be the time to prepare for the next game, so the first thing before taking another step is to sum up the experience and review the game. Only by fully understanding your shortcomings can you make better progress.

Until Burton Burns waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he was "too old to continue" and went home to rest first, Ronnie Clark still stayed to accompany Levi to analyze the game video.

As a running back, perhaps Clark's physical talent has reached its ceiling. Not to mention the NFL, he can't become a starter even in the NCAA.

But Clark's brain is another matter. From tactics to situations to confrontations, he is extremely sensitive and has his own unique insights.

The nickname "Master" is definitely not for nothing. Clark gave Levi a lot of help when he was in college, and it is the same now that he has switched to the professional arena.

The discussion continued and did not stop even when they were leaving the training base and preparing to go home.

Looking at the time, Levi smiled at Clark and said, "Come, I'll introduce you to a secret base, which is suitable for relaxing after the game day."
