Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 772 Continuous Upgrade
"We're going to crush the Lightning, we're going to crush the Chiefs, we're going to beat them."

“New England is the champion!”

"We don't care about them, they're just a bunch of clowns."

"I know they want to beat us, but it's not going to happen. It's that simple."

"Yes, they may need a little luck and a little help, because we will not show mercy."

Bustling and vigorous——

Social networks are exploding.

The attitude of the Indianapolis Colts players, coaches and fans quickly swept the entire Internet, and the New England Patriots fans also launched a counterattack immediately, not only refusing to give in, but also launching an all-out attack.

The memory is still vivid.

In the sixth week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs traveled to Gillette Stadium to challenge the New England Patriots. The two teams were evenly matched in that game, and in the end the New England Patriots won with a buzzer-beater at home.

however!
This victory failed to become the focus of heated discussion and its limelight was stolen.

After the game, all kinds of discriminatory and offensive words at Gillette Stadium angered Levi, who responded with a thunderous frontal counterattack.

After the game, the New England Patriots became the target of attacks on social networks, which ended with league investigations, warnings, and fines.

This incident has already caused an irreconcilable feud between the New England Patriots and the Kansas Chiefs; but the matter did not end here -

After the game, a photo unexpectedly became popular.

Number 23, wearing a white away jersey, stood on the railing of the audience stands at Gillette Stadium, filled with righteous indignation and passion, venting his anger; the royal blue waves swarming in from all directions were baring their fangs and surging, but all of them surrendered and trembled at the feet of number 23.

A white silhouette stands tall in the blue sky and earth.

In the photo, Levi did not show his face, only a side profile, but precisely because of this, the tragic and grandeur of "one man against the whole world" was pushed to the extreme in imagery, and the artistic conception of the whole photo was taken to a higher level.

After that regular season game ended, this photo was also posted on social networks.

At the beginning, it did not attract much attention and was soon drowned in the torrent of heated discussions; but as time went on, the photo received more and more likes and reposts, and became a hot topic like a snowball.

Moreover, it reached a new peak after it was officially published in the New York Times.

Four months have passed, and now this photo has become a new cultural phenomenon, spreading all over the Internet.

For New England Patriots fans, this photo is a mockery, a taunt, an attack and a humiliation, reminding them all the time what happened that day. Although they won the game, this scene after the game nailed them to the pillar of shame.

I couldn't bear to watch it. I was furious.

Moreover, this is still not all, things are not over yet.

At the critical moment, Nike seized the opportunity and acted decisively——

They bought the copyright to use the photos from the original authors and then printed T-shirts.

Color version. Black and white version. Print version. Watercolor version.

Nike launched four versions at once, all of which were white T-shirts, and they were officially launched in December, becoming a huge hit across the entire Internet.

In just one week, this T-shirt sold three million pieces across North America.

At this point, the situation has completely gotten out of control, evolving from a simple sports event into a cultural phenomenon and becoming an important footnote of the NFL.

Goodell breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the league handled the situation promptly and appropriately, otherwise the league would be severely punished. But now, on the contrary, thanks to the league's proactive handling, football's reputation among Asian audiences continued to rise, and Levi seized this opportunity again.

New England Patriots: ...So, New England is a stepping stone again?
Every T-shirt sold is like a slap in the face of New England Patriots fans and Gillette Stadium, and it hurts.

Never die.

There was no need to fan the flames; the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs were already choking each other to death, and when the Indianapolis Colts continued to add fuel to the fire, New England fans were completely furious.

Full explosion!

"Haha, I just love how they hate us but can't beat me."

New England Patriots fans are well versed in the art of provocation, and they immediately grasped the key to the lifeline and mocked the stupidity of these losers with the attitude of a winner.

The smoke of gunpowder continues to spread and escalate.

Amidst the chaos, the ignored, neglected and forgotten Los Angeles Lightning are secretly sharpening their knives.

Over the years, Philip Rivers, who has become more and more Buddhist and exudes the temperament of Jesus and loves the world, said in an interview:
"I do not mind."

"I know we are the underdogs and we are the underdogs, but we will still go on the field and try our best to win."

Calm, indifferent, but resolute.

People seem to forget that the Los Angeles Chargers had a regular season record of 12 wins and 4 losses, second only to the Kansas City Chiefs and even better than the New England Patriots.

In fact, people generally criticize that the Los Angeles Chargers benefited from the schedule advantage and their opponents were generally weak. Among the opponents they defeated, only the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks advanced to the playoffs. This is a real pseudo-strong team.

However, in the wildcard game against the Baltimore Ravens, who had just defeated them in the regular season, the Los Angeles Chargers showed a completely different side in the playoffs, winning a ticket to the divisional round with a convincing victory.

While everyone is talking about the Indianapolis Colts missing a chance to get revenge on the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Chargers are also eager to win a chance to defeat their division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs.

They will definitely go all out.

Therefore, there are still many variables in the game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Chargers.

If the New England Patriots underestimate their opponents, they may be eliminated in the divisional round again like last year.

The various heated discussions and strong screen coverage indirectly prove Goodell's point:
Indeed, the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts was messed up, which did affect the ratings; but Levi and the Kansas City Chiefs have gradually transformed into a strong team, and the discussion is still hot.

No need to worry at all.

The first divisional game lived up to expectations, although the progress and results of the game were not satisfactory; but the highly anticipated Kansas City Chiefs lived up to expectations and officially started their journey to defend the title with an easy victory.

Then, without stopping, the second divisional race kicked off non-stop. The smoke of gunpowder that filled social networks was still boiling and burning, and the battle horn had been sounded again, further pushing the climax of the playoffs to a new height.

This time, another hot topic of the season, the Los Angeles Rams, will appear at home to face the Dallas Cowboys, who are also dominated by a youthful storm.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Banging the table frantically.

On one side are Goff and Donald, and on the other side are Prescott and Elliott.

The common points are the new generation, dominance, and continued rise in the past two seasons.

Regardless of the outcome of the game, the comprehensive rise of the new generation of young people is worth looking forward to. Two years after Manning retired, the younger generation finally took over and filled the gap. Maybe they can't reach that height for the time being, but the future of the NFL seems brighter and better than ever before.

Sure enough, people tend to get bored with the old and love the new, and even the NFL is no exception.
