Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 730: The Beacon Fire of the Strong
Chicago Bears, you're being taken advantage of.

At the draft last season, he was fooled by Kansas City Chiefs manager Veach, and ended up paying for the Kansas City Chiefs' generous draft strategy, while he used the second pick to select——

Trubisky.

Last season, the team had only five wins and ten losses, and it was struggling on the road to overthrow and rebuilding. Since the 2012 season, there has been no record of more wins than losses, and the last time it advanced to the playoffs was in 2010.

The valley was low, dark, and long with no end in sight.

Especially among the rivals in the same division, the Green Bay Packers have Rogers in charge, the Minnesota Vikings spent a lot of money to welcome Cousins ​​this season, and the Chicago Bears' hopes of revival all fall on Trubisky's shoulders.

Obviously, Trubisky is unable to cope with the heavy responsibility, especially compared with the strong performance of Levi, the third overall pick in the same class. Trubisky has been going further and further down the road of being whipped and being a fake, and it seems that he has no chance of turning things around.

Missing out on Levi was bad enough; when they had the initiative, not only did they not choose Mahomes, but they also didn't choose Watson. The Chicago Bears' front office was immediately compared to the New York Jets.

disaster.

However, this offseason, the Chicago Bears uniform group finally made a wise decision.

The team poached Nagy, the offensive coordinator who performed brilliantly last season, from the Kansas City Chiefs to serve as the team's head coach.

Like Peterson, who left the Kansas City Chiefs for the Philadelphia Eagles, Nagy, who arrived at the Chicago Bears this year, also showed his talent.

In just one season, the Chicago Bears have been transformed.

The season record is 12 wins and 5 losses, returning to the playoffs after nine years.

Moreover, in the final game of the season, the Chicago Bears defeated their division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, helping the Philadelphia Eagles, led by their former colleague Peterson, to advance to the playoffs by stepping on the shoulders of the Minnesota Vikings. At the same time, the Minnesota Vikings, who dominated the quarterback moves in the offseason, became a laughing stock in the league.

Last season, the Minnesota Vikings made it all the way to the NFC finals; this season, the team's front office made bold moves on the offensive team, signing Cousins ​​from the Washington Redskins with a shocking contract, aiming for the Super Bowl.

The result...same as the Jacksonville Jaguars, missing the playoffs.

It's so embarrassing.

The Chicago Bears are proud of themselves and have become the focus of the entire league.

Najib deserves credit for this.

It is precisely because Nagy and Peterson have proven their abilities in the National League that when we look at the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs again, our eyes are slightly different.

After all, the landscape of the AFC this year has proven that the Kansas City Chiefs' trip to the Super Bowl last year was not just luck.

The second is the United States.

No. 1 seed, AFC West champion, Kansas City Chiefs, 13 wins and 3 losses.

The second seed, AFC East champion, New England Patriots, 11 wins and 5 losses.

The third seed, AFC South champion, the Houston Texans, have 11 wins and 5 losses.

The fourth seed, AFC North champion, Baltimore Ravens, have 10 wins and 6 losses.

Wild card.

No. 5 seed, second in the American League West, Los Angeles Lightning, 12 wins and 4 losses.

The sixth seed, second in the AFC South, the Indianapolis Colts, have 10 wins and 6 losses.

Chaos.

It's easy to tell that this is a mess. Since Manning retired, the American League has been undergoing a complete reshuffle, and the situation of the iron triangle leading the way in previous years is gone forever.

First, the Pittsburgh Steelers are out and the Tennessee Titans are out.

Two playoff teams last season were eliminated, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans both winning nine games. In the National League, the Philadelphia Eagles advanced with nine wins, but in the American League, such a record was still not enough.

Of the two teams, things may be changing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This season, "the impact of Bell's strike" has been a topic throughout. The Pittsburgh Steelers have always been tough, refusing to respond to Bell's demands, showing an uncompromising attitude from top to bottom; but now with the team missing the playoffs, the strategy of the uniform team is bound to cause controversy.

The storm will not really begin until after the Super Bowl is over.

Second, the American League West is in a fierce battle.

The Los Angeles Chargers' record is even better than that of the New England Patriots, but because of the suppression of the Kansas City Chiefs, they have to play in the wild card game. This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing, but that's the rule.

This also shows the fierce competition in the AFC West this season. The Kansas City Chiefs were able to stand out and showed their potential.

Third, among the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and Indianapolis Colts, who can become the dark horse?

During this offseason, the Baltimore Ravens scooped up Lamar Jackson with the 32nd pick in the first round, which proved Harbaugh's wisdom and unexpectedly achieved a transition from old to new at quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

Watson, the quarterback selected by the Houston Texans last year, has finally proved himself. The quarterback, who had been targeting Levi from the beginning to try to prove his ability, finally seized the opportunity to show his talent this season.

The Indianapolis Colts became victims of the farce of the New England Patriots coaching staff. After being stood up by McDaniels, the team's uniform staff held their breath and were furious. However, they calmed down and looked for a solution, and Frank Reich stepped forward.

Reitch has a short coaching resume. He only entered the league in 2006 to seek a coaching job. He served as an intern coach for the Indianapolis Colts. After staying with the team for six seasons, he began to work for different teams. In the past two seasons, he served as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles. He is Peterson's right-hand man and the behind-the-scenes hero of "Philadelphia Special".

In the midst of the crisis, the Indianapolis Colts extended an olive branch to their former player. Although Reitch had never served as a head coach in his career, he still accepted the challenge.

Under Reich's leadership, the Indianapolis Colts stumbled into the playoffs; but now, the situation is completely different and the playoff situation has started anew.

The three teams mentioned above all emerged from a pile of corpses, fighting hard to carve out a bloody path. One, two, three of them were blood-thirsty. Each team has the potential to become a dark horse, and the degree of danger is difficult to estimate.

However, they all have the goal of winning when they reach the playoffs.

On the other side, Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Watson of the Houston Texans both targeted Levi.

Jackson, "I'm eager for a rematch with Levi."

Watson, "I'm not the same person I once was, Levi will see that."

The grievances that have continued from the NCAA are blooming proudly in the NFL.

If this is the next wave of the NFL, Goodell welcomes it warmly.

Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts have their eyes firmly fixed on the New England Patriots, and they are very much looking forward to having a heart-to-heart conversation with Belichick and McDaniels on the field.

The sword is sharpened and the people are united.

That's where the problem lies.

Whether it is the New England Patriots or the Kansas City Chiefs, they have a bye in the first round. Whether it is revenge or confrontation, if they want to get in front of them, they must first pass the test of the first round of wild card games.

That is to say, they will kill each other first.

When the time comes, revenge will be taken, and injustice will be repaid.
