Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 787 Raging Fire
"Grass!"

"Go away!"

"Cheaters! You stole our victory!"

"weasel!"

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Meanwhile, Kansas City is preparing for the upcoming conference finals.

Meanwhile, the National League final in New Orleans has come to an end, and chaos has broken out at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, with curses and insults hurled out.

On the court, it was a different scene.

Ah, ah ah!
Aaron Donald clenched his fists and howled to the sky. His baby face was ferocious, murderous, and bloody as he roared without reservation.

Not far away, Drew Brees put his hands on his hips and lowered his head in frustration. His expression could not be seen clearly from his face hidden in the helmet, but one could deeply feel his frustration and anger.

Just a little bit closer.

This may be the best chance for the New Orleans Saints to return to the Super Bowl and compete for the championship again in the past ten years since they won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season.

Yet, they still missed it.

Before the American League finals began, the National League finals kicked off.

The New Orleans Saints faced the Los Angeles Rams at home. People were expecting a big offensive battle, but unexpectedly, the defense became the protagonist.

Be it Goff or Brees, both of them encountered limitations in their passing performance. Brees, who has the highest career average pass success rate among active players, also performed poorly. Not only did his pass success rate fall below 50% at one point, but he also made two interceptions, and the offensive battle did not take place.

Until the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the two sides were still tied, with the New Orleans Saints leading by only a free kick; then the Los Angeles Rams once again turned the tide from the brink, tying the score with a 43-yard free kick, and struggling to drag the NFC final into overtime.

however.

In overtime, the game was still deadlocked.

The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams both had chances, but both missed, and each had two offensive possessions, all of which ended in punts.

When the game is in a stalemate and no team is able to score, it means that whoever can score first, whether it is a free kick, a touchdown, or a safety point, will be able to win the game.

The Los Angeles Rams took advantage of their opportunity.

Rather than saying that the offensive team led by Goff made a contribution, it is better to say that the special team's kicker Greg Zuerlain (Greg-Zuerlain) came down from the sky like the Monkey King on a colorful cloud and saved the Los Angeles Rams:
After scoring a 43-yard free kick to tie the score in the final moments of regular time, Zuerlein scored another 57-yard free kick with just two minutes left in the first half of overtime, ending the game in an incredible and stunning manner.

Free kick winner.

The final score was “26:23”.

Fierce, stalemate, torment, and fierce battle.

The Nations League final ended in a tragic and tragic manner.

This year, Brees is 39 years old. He doesn't know how many more years he can hold on, nor does he know if such an opportunity will come again.

The veteran's unfulfilled ambitions made the usually calm Brees stand there, unable to recover for a long time. He needed more time than in previous years to swallow the bitterness of this defeat.

In sharp contrast, the young and energetic Los Angeles Rams cheered and celebrated to their heart's content. If there is anything that could be happier than advancing to the Super Bowl, it is to advance to the Super Bowl on the road by stepping on the shoulders of their arch-rivals, which can even double the happiness.

Mercedes-Benz Superdome is not satisfied ——

The victory should have belonged to them, but the despicable Los Angeles Rams stole it from them.

What happened was that there was one minute and forty-five seconds left in the regular time of the game.

Before Los Angeles Rams kicker Zuerlein became a superhero and turned the tide, the New Orleans Saints offense firmly grasped the initiative. At that time, the score was "20:20".

Brees once again showed the demeanor of an elite quarterback, with a series of smooth passing attacks showing his peak form, with a 100% pass success rate. In just less than two minutes, he had led the New Orleans Saints across half the field.

Later, facing a third-and-10 situation, Brees remained calm and made an accurate pass to his wide receiver Tommylee Lewis; however, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey Coleman illegally hit Lewis before the wide receiver touched the ball, causing the pass to be incomplete.

According to league rules, a collision without the ball is illegal pass interference, a yellow flag violation, and a 10-yard penalty.

In other words, Coleman's illegal collision with Lewis directly gave the New Orleans Saints a first attack, and the New Orleans Saints' offensive group was able to directly enter the Los Angeles Rams' red zone. Next, the New Orleans Saints had three opportunities to try for touchdowns.

If the touchdown is scored, the score will be "20:27", and the New Orleans Saints will be able to strangle fate by the throat.

However, there is no if, because there was no foul, so the New Orleans Saints struck out, the touchdown became a free kick, and the score became "20:23".

Later, Zuerlein equalized the score with a free kick.

The premise is that the yellow flag is a foul.

However, the referee turned a blind eye and did not make any penalty. Coleman's defense was successful and Brees' pass was incomplete.

Then, there was overtime.

Then, there was the Los Angeles Rams' buzzer-beater.

That scene shocked the entire league, because Coleman's illegal collision foul was so obvious that there was not even room for debate. It was just a foul.

In fact, the league also realized it. After the game, the league officials immediately issued an announcement admitting that it was a misjudgment.

But that’s all. The league simply admitted the misjudgment without any extra words. You know, this was a misjudgment that changed the outcome and history.

It wasn't until two weeks later, when the season was over, that the league belatedly issued an apology letter, apologizing for the misjudgment in the final moments of the National League final.

It's too late.

An apology letter cannot change any facts, nor can it save Brees' career.

All signs show that the league was manipulating the outcome of the game. They needed a new idol, they needed to establish Donald as the face of the team, so Brees and his New Orleans Saints became the sacrifices. A blatant foul could be turned a blind eye, it was that simple.

Although there is no evidence, that’s what New Orleans Saints fans think.

In fact, not only New Orleans Saints fans, but many neutral fans have expressed the same view. No one likes an immoral victory.

No wonder the Mercedes-Benz Superdome went completely crazy after the game, almost rioting—

"Thief!"

"fraud!"

"mouse!"

"You stole our victory!"

"Shame! Your so-called victory is a shame! You should be ashamed of it!"

New Orleans Saints fans were extremely angry. Their historical grievances with the Los Angeles Rams made the bitterness and anger at this moment even more intense. Seeing the Los Angeles Rams celebrating their victory in their own backyard, the fans' bottom line of rationality completely collapsed.

Curses and insults escalated into violence in a blink of an eye.

Mineral water bottles, umbrellas, shoes, and cell phones were thrown all over the field and thrown onto the field. The Los Angeles Rams players were unable to continue celebrating and, under the protection of security personnel, they left the field with their heads in their hands and returned to the locker room. Without even a moment to breathe, they hurriedly boarded the team bus and left the scene.

If they continue to stay in the stadium, no one knows what will happen next.
