Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 629 Unforgettable
Ah, ahhhh, ahhhh!
Crazy, completely crazy, the entire Gillette Stadium was in a frenzy.

Cheering, jumping, and roaring as if they were at the Super Bowl.

Although this is just a regular season game and the playoffs are still three months away, it is an important breakthrough for the New England Patriots.

First, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs was their first win in three meetings in two seasons, and was perfect revenge for the buzzer-beater in last season's divisional round.

Secondly, by defeating Levi, in such an absurd and ridiculous collision of "goat VS rookie", they finally gave Levi a hard blow.

Thirdly, they have remained undefeated at home this season. If they can advance to the playoffs as the top seed and ensure full home-court advantage in the playoffs, it will undoubtedly build confidence for returning to the top of the American League. Today's victory over the current American League No. 1 seed has given them a head start in the competition.

Revenge is not just revenge, it is also a victory of the overall plan.

Not just fans.

Brady immediately raised his hands high and rushed into the court to hug Gustkowski. He no longer cared about his personal image. He just let his joy and passion burst out, waving his fists and roaring:

Did you see it? Did you see it!
Who is the best player in the league? Can the half-buried quarterback still fight? Is it really time for a change of dynasty in the NFL?

Did you hear my response?
Again and again, the frustration and humiliation that had been suppressed for a whole year and a half was finally released at this moment, vented out without reservation.

The entire Gillette Stadium was engulfed in flames inside and out.

The world began to shake violently.

On the court, Levi finally ran out of energy and fell to the ground in a big letter shape.

Just like the sixth week of the regular season last season, they encountered a crisis again, but the difference was that this time they were unable to complete a Jedi reversal.

This is not the first time we've lost, and it probably won't be the last; but the point is, every time I lose a game, I feel the same damn discomfort, with a bitter taste in my mouth and a feeling of depression, and I can't breathe and feel suffocated.

No matter how many times I experience this, it still hurts, makes me angry, frustrated, and makes me want to burn the entire stadium to ashes.

Damn it, he hated losing!
Especially in a game like this, the game was close and everyone had a chance, but in the end, after trying their best, victory still slipped away from their fingertips.

Close your eyes, and your mind is filled with images of “if this, if that”. If that offense had been like this, if that run had been like that, would the outcome have been changed?
Taking a deep breath, Levi forced himself to open his eyes again——

No regrets, no remorse, and no ifs.

They have tried their best, they have given their all, they have fought until the very last moment, and today the side with better performance won, so they can turn around and leave the court with their heads held high, and then quietly wait for the next meeting to have another fair showdown.

They refused to bow their heads or surrender, and always looked forward to the next battle.

Above our heads, the sky is filled with stars. It is the same every time we come to Fox Castle. The battle is intense, entangled, and stalemate. No one is willing to give up victory easily. No matter what the result is, they have given their all.

He took a long breath and exhaled.

then.

Levi supported himself with his hands and stood up. He still had the duties of a captain to fulfill.

At a glance, Levi could see Hill, who was deeply in pain and self-blame, wandering around the end zone like a trapped animal. He was about to step forward, but saw Kelsey had already got there first.

There were still Fowler, Jones, Regland and others who were standing there with blank eyes. Levi walked over one by one, patted their shoulders and backs, helping them to straighten their backs again.

Finally, there was Mahomes, who stood there in silence with a dazed look on his face. The other players of the Kansas City Chiefs came forward and patted Mahomes' helmet and shoulders. Mahomes responded woodenly and stiffly, but there was no focus in his eyes, and it seemed that he had no idea what he was doing.

"Sherlock..." Levi called out.

Mahomes looked at Levi blankly, and it would be the same no matter who showed up.

"Sherlock, we played a great game, we fought until the very end..."

But this time, Mahomes finally came to his senses and interrupted Levi, "It's my fault."

Mahomes stared at Levi blankly, his eyes finally focused, "Rookie, it's all my fault."

Just as he finished speaking, Mahomes felt weak and fell to the ground. His shoulders and mind collapsed. He looked at Levi who was squatting down and frantically searched for Levi's sight.

"It's me. It's me who caused us to lose the game."

"Oh, God."

Mahomes' eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Levi stubbornly, refusing to let the tears burst out, but his vision had already been blurred by the tears.

For Mahomes, this is not just a loss, that interception will become a psychological demon that he must face.

If he fails to break through, Mahomes may be forgotten by everyone in the blink of an eye. There are countless such players in the league; but if he can break through, Mahomes will usher in a transformation inside and out.

Growing up is like this, full of pain and frustration, bruises and stumbling. Only after the wounds have healed can you learn to be brave.

Mahomes looked at Levi helplessly and blankly.

Levi took a deep breath.

"Sherlock, we all make mistakes. No one is perfect. No one. What's more important than making mistakes is how you deal with them."

"Remember! Firmly remember the bitterness and pain of this moment, firmly remember the experience and lessons of this game, and don't just turn around and throw them behind you."

"Because this is the moment that determines what kind of player we will become in the future."

“We hate failure, but at the same time we must face failure calmly and not become cowards who can’t afford to lose.”

Levi did not sugarcoat the situation or tell Mahomes "it's not your fault" or "everything will be fine" because he knew that this was a moment they had to face on their path of growth and transformation. Without going through the wind and rain, there will never be a rainbow.

If it hurts, remember it.

Only in this way can we avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Last time, they beat the New England Patriots, and Belichick and Brady learned their lesson, so they fought back and seized the opportunity, and today the New England Patriots beat them.

The thing is that simple.

In the world of competitive sports, no one can win forever. Everyone needs to face failure. The key is never failure, but how to fight back after failure.

There are wins and losses, back and forth, and we grow and improve together in the competition, and finally the peak showdown. This is the most wonderful moment in competitive sports.

It is true that they lost today, unfortunately suffered a defeat by a hair's breadth, a painful defeat; but this is not the point, on the contrary, this is a new starting point.

The story that begins today is still written by themselves.
