Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 728 A successful ending
The last week of the regular season was a torment for the Oakland Raiders.

As previously stated, the Oakland Raiders are heading to Las Vegas for the 2020 season, which will be the team's penultimate season in Oakland.

Obviously, for players and fans, the emotional ties between the team and the city are inseparable. The players hope that the fans can support them as much as possible, and the fans hope that the team can leave more good memories.

Unfortunately, these emotional values ​​are insignificant compared to commercial interests.

The Oakland Raiders are faced with a difficult choice:

Should they go all out against the Kansas City Chiefs?

Even though the Kansas City Chiefs have already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, winning or losing doesn't matter; but the Oakland Raiders can still disgust their division rivals and add some topics to the grievances between the two cities of Oakland and Kansas City, which future generations can talk about with relish.

Or should we give up, lie down, and give up?
Completely give up this insignificant game, because the Arizona Cardinals are obviously ready to break it up. The so-called "second-place suspense" has long been dead in name only, and the Oakland Raiders' victory or defeat cannot change their ranking in next year's draft. The last week of events is simply a piece of chicken ribs.

A dilemma, a dilemma.

Of course, from the fans' perspective, win, win, 100% choose win. Anyway, the team is going to move to Las Vegas the year after next, so why should they care about the future of the team? Compared with the draft pick, they still hope to disgust the Kansas City Chiefs one last time.

However, from the team's perspective, Oakland is a thing of the past. They now need to consider Las Vegas, and the draft pick is particularly important. Although they have missed out on next year's No. 1 pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars are trying to "steal" their No. 2 pick, which they refuse to see.

The answer stands out——

Ruined.

However, to be honest, the Oakland Raiders are demoralized this season, and even if they try their best, they may not be able to shake the Kansas City Chiefs; but now that the tone has been set, the game is even more chaotic.

"3:35".

At the end of the game, the Kansas City Chiefs swept the Oakland Raiders at home, and the season ended successfully.

Mahomes threw another interception, but connected with Watkins and backup tight end Demetrius Harris for two touchdown passes, especially the 53-yard pass to Watkins in the first quarter. After receiving the ball, the latter ran 13 yards into the end zone and scored a touchdown, which ignited Arrowhead Stadium.

Running backs Damien and Will each scored a running touchdown.

In addition, safety Daniel Sorenson intercepted Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and returned the ball 37 yards for a touchdown, scoring an offensive goal for the defense.

The final game of the regular season was turned into an exhibition match.

The Oakland Raiders collapsed completely. After the game, they didn't even have the energy to be angry and left Kansas City dejected.

But for Arrowhead Stadium, especially for the Gallas family, it was undoubtedly a carnival. It was the first time in their lives that they watched a football game live and witnessed a party. The adrenaline surge could not be stopped.

Cheer, jump, sing loudly, and bloom to your heart's content.

After the game, the Gallas saw Levi again in the locker room.

Anne opened her arms and gave Levi a big hug, very excited.

"...wonderful, so wonderful. Now, my only regret is that I didn't see your touchdown."

Anne hasn't forgotten her wish list.

Levi, who was dry and without a drop of sweat, looked at his appearance and spread his hands, "It seems that we can only look forward to the regional competition."

Anne held up her right pinky finger.

Levi didn't understand.

Anne raised her right hand, "Promise." Levi laughed loudly and used his right pinky finger to complete the agreement with Anne, then turned to look at his teammates, "You all saw it, I may need a little help at that time, everyone remember to give your support."

Haha, hahaha.

There was a roar of laughter.

Jenna and Jeff looked at each other. Only then did they realize that it was not just about victory. What was more important was the fighting spirit and the spirit. The blood boiled to the point where it could burn the soul and awaken the vitality.

Anne, you need this encouragement.

The Gallas exchanged a look, hiding the sadness in their eyes, took a deep breath, smiled, and joined the carnival in the locker room.

When Felix and Karen arrived at the locker room, they missed the first half, but still saw the second half of the pinky promise between Levi and Annie.

Felix followed with clumsy steps, high-fived Annie with his left hand and Levi with his right hand, and shouted excitedly, "I am the witness. Witness!"

Jenna looked over at Karen and she noticed that Felix's voice was hoarse, "Are you okay?"

Karen took a deep breath, the worry between her brows lingering, but the words she said were different. "This is a good thing." She exhaled a long breath, "At least it's better than staying in the room in silence."

Karen looked at Jenna, and the two mothers exchanged a tacit look, feeling a little touched and a little sad, with their eyes slightly moist. Only they knew the bitterness and struggle, and only parents whose children had truly experienced the torture of cancer could understand.

“Hoo!”

Levi, Anne, and Felix shouted loudly.

Jenna and Karen both joined in the noise in the locker room and cheered.

In the 2018 season, the last week of the regular season has come to an end.

The Kansas City Chiefs ended the regular season beautifully with a victory. Even though it was a second team, they still used a hearty victory to show the growth and transformation of the team. Even though the opponent was the Oakland Raiders who had no fighting spirit, victory is victory, a perfect ending.

At the same time, this also means that the playoffs will begin next week.

The preparation, the brewing, the accumulation, all ended, all the confusion and suspense came to an end, and the answers were revealed one by one, and -

Finally, we entered the sprint final stage, a tense and exciting single-elimination match where the winner will be decided in one game.

Unlike the NBA's best-of-seven system, or the UEFA Champions League's home-and-away system, like the World Cup, a single top match decides life and death.

Randomness, unexpectedness, suddenness, everything is magnified dozens or hundreds of times——

Everything is possible, the weak defeating the strong, the inferior rebelling against the superior, upsets happening one after another, and a dark horse to the end. No one can rule out any potential possibility.

Just like last season, no one expected the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles to meet in the Super Bowl, and no one expected the Kansas City Chiefs to actually have the last laugh.

Unpredictability is the fundamental reason why the NFL has become the number one sport in North America. The most exciting season of the year has finally arrived.

Now, standing at the crossroads of the playoffs, it is the most exciting moment of the year again, and the fierce competition of a season is entering the second act.

The good show is about to begin.

First things first, who will survive this year and earn a ticket to the second round of the life-and-death battle arena?
