Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 768 The Spirit of a King

Is Goodell worried about ratings?
of course.

It's not just about this game, but the trend of the entire environment.

In the past two years, streaming media has gradually risen, the entertainment methods of the younger generation have changed again, the traditional way of watching TV has been hit more and more, and the decline in TV ratings has become a common phenomenon.

The NFL, which was once thought to never face real challenges to its status as the ratings king, is inevitably facing tests, and the league must look at the long term.

Support the passing offense for ratings.

Supporting Levi and supporting Donald is also for ratings.

The playoffs were not exciting enough, which led to audience loss, which is a very serious matter.

However, in difficult situations, Goodell always manages to grasp the key.

So far, the playoffs have indeed not been able to proceed as planned, and the expectations and predictions after the end of the regular season seem to have quietly deviated from the track; however, Goodell did not miss the golden edge behind the dark clouds.

This season, the traditional powerhouses New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints are still performing strongly. The two elite quarterbacks Brady and Brees continue to output high energy, continue to defend traditions and consolidate loyal fans.

The emerging powerhouse Los Angeles Rams joined the Kansas City Chiefs to deliver a wonderful performance. With the galaxy battleship led by Goff and Donald in front and the youth storm led by Mahomes and Levy in the back, they are rising in all aspects.

One is Los Angeles, which has the second largest city in North America as its home. The outstanding performances of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers this season have awakened the enthusiasm of dormant fans.

One is Levi. Asian players have won unprecedented attention in the league, and the North American Asian market and overseas Asian fans have also joined the group chat.

The prospects are promising.

Imagine if the ideal matchup for the Confederations Finals could take place -

American League, "Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots".

National League, "Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints".

Well, everything is perfect, enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the entire league. Who would care whether the wild card game and the divisional game are exciting?

Right before our eyes, the Kansas City Chiefs are transforming.

They were a dark horse last season, emerging out of nowhere and disrupting the entire league landscape.

It would be disappointing if this season continues as a dark horse.

Fortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs did not. After experiencing turmoil and crisis in the offseason, the team returned to the right track and continued to rise.

This is in stark contrast to the Philadelphia Eagles' stumbling this season.

The game was messed up, which is indeed a cause for concern; but the Kansas City Chiefs are transforming into a new powerhouse, fighting back against doubts with an absolutely strong performance. The defending champions finally showed their impressive strength, and the future is promising.

This is a good thing, a very good thing.

Levi is worthy of being the man chosen by Goodell. He lived up to everyone's expectations and silenced all the opposing voices with his brilliant performances time and time again, demonstrating his presence in the fierce competition in the league.

A smile gently climbed up the corner of Goodall's mouth.

"Haha, at the end of the regular season, netizens kept complaining that the Kansas City Chiefs were a fake strong team and could only show off their strength against some weak teams. They couldn't stand up against the real strong teams."

A small joke and someone nearby muttered, "This is the truth."

“They lost three games against teams that were in the playoffs this season.”

Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots.

Goodell looked over, "But we won three games." Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens.

Goodell added, “I did my homework, too.”

There was a sense of lightness in the air, and many people laughed softly.

But some people are still dissatisfied. "Against playoff teams, three wins and three losses, a winning rate of 50%, is really not good enough, no wonder netizens complained."

Imagine if even the league office had such opinions, let alone social networks?

Those trolls work all day long.

Goodell did not refute, but nodded, "Of course, this is an objective fact. That's why I said that in the divisional round, the real playoff stage, the Kansas City Chiefs proved themselves with a convincing performance."

"Believe me, there will be more and more fans who like the Kansas City Chiefs."

The conversation ended here. Goodell did not continue the discussion. He looked towards the court and watched the situation on the court with great interest.

The Kansas City Chiefs did show their dominance on both offense and defense today, with highlights coming one after another; but Levi is still the core.

Throughout the entire match, Levi's toughness and energy completely suppressed his opponent.

The most direct data is that Leonard, the biggest gain of the Indianapolis Colts' defense this season, was completely invisible in this game, whether he was facing Mahomes or Levi, he was completely silent.

Even the madman became docile and well-behaved. This is how terrifying Levi is.

"No matter who the Kansas City Chiefs' opponent is in the next conference final, how to contain Levi will be a tough challenge and a headache."

"What's more, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers still need to start the fight first, while the Kansas City Chiefs can wait and see."

"Of course, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers have both beaten the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season, so they shouldn't be afraid, but be careful, the Chiefs are a completely different team in the playoffs."

The fourth quarter of the game was still going on, but the commentators had given up and were looking forward to the next matchup in garbage time, because the outcome was no longer in doubt.

Leitch is still fighting, not for victory, but for dignity, and more importantly, to save some face in front of the fans.

After all, this is only Reitch's first season in Indianapolis. He needs to prove his fighting spirit to the fans and he cannot let the game go even if he loses.

Reitch's coordination and efforts were rewarded. The Indianapolis Colts scored a face-saving touchdown and slightly narrowed the score gap; but the effect of stopping the bleeding was limited because the Kansas City Chiefs' offense was still unstoppable.

If the game had not entered the fourth quarter, the Kansas City Chiefs would have started to focus on controlling the time and not pursue touchdowns, even free kicks would have been enough; and if the rotation lineup had not been replaced in the final garbage time of the game, the momentum of the score surge would have slowed down slightly, otherwise the score might have been even more embarrassing.

despite this--

"14:44".

At the end of the game, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts by a full thirty points and advanced to the next round with their heads held high, advancing to the conference finals for the second consecutive year, effectively fighting back against all doubts.

Crush, complete victory!
The advantage of 30 points turned a highly anticipated offensive battle into a one-sided show, and the entire game was completely unbalanced.

Everyone exclaimed!
The Indianapolis Colts, who were united and confident before the game, were humiliated and failed to even form some decent fierce confrontation.

Then, commentator Michaels tried to save the Indianapolis Colts' reputation.

"A 30-point margin ranks 26th on the NFL's all-time list of the biggest margins of victory in a divisional round."

"Yes, the 26th. You heard it right. So the Indianapolis Colts don't need to be too ashamed or blame themselves. This game wasn't too bad."

Indianapolis Colts: Seriously? No comfort at all.
