Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 790 Exactly the same

"Grass!"

Mahomes couldn't help but swore.

He took a deep breath, as deep as he could, but his anger was still burning. Under his helmet, his brows were furrowed, and he could see the solemn atmosphere.

Aaron Donald also noticed it in front of the TV. "He is under too much pressure. The more he wants to express himself, the more he cannot stretch his hands and feet."

After a pause, Donald turned his head and looked to the side, "Same as Jared."

Jared Goff, a handsome young man, is nicknamed the Hollywood star by his teammates because of his appearance similar to Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling. This season, he finally proved himself at the quarterback position, but his performance in the just-concluded National League Final was not outstanding.

Goff, slightly embarrassed, cleared his throat. "But they don't have Aaron Donald."

Donald chuckled, didn't respond, and looked at the TV screen again.

The American League finals has begun.

The Los Angeles Rams players are now trapped in the hotel. Outside, there are a large crowd of New Orleans fans, who are emotional and furious. They cannot leave the hotel for the time being, so a group of people gathered in the room, turned on the TV, and watched the matchup between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The winner will be their opponent in the Super Bowl.

In the sixth week of the regular season, the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs presented a wonderful offensive battle at Gillette Stadium, which was undoubtedly one of the most exciting and best games of the season; they met again in the conference finals, and everyone in the league was looking forward to it.

Moreover, judging from various signs both on and off the field, this will be an exciting matchup, and the Kansas City Chiefs are united from top to bottom and full of fighting spirit.

However, the reality is not so.

Competitive sports are like this: the more you want to show yourself, the less you can perform at your normal level; the more you desire to win, the more you tend to be on the brink of victory. If you are too nervous, you may not perform well; if you are too excited, you will also not perform well.

There is a delicate balance between tension and excitement. Only by finding this balance can you give full play to your abilities.

The most difficult part of reality is that players often cannot do this. Even the best passers in various sports may not be able to do it every time. Therefore, competitive sports are a competition with opponents, but more importantly, it is a competition with oneself.

In front of you, that's it.

The Kansas City Chiefs were too eager and eager to perform well. They were playing at home and it was a battle of revenge. Before the game, they witnessed a commemorative fan event. Everyone in the team hoped to put in a good performance at Arrowhead Stadium. However, this mood became a burden that restricted their hands and feet.

Since the opening, Mahomes' pass completion rate has been very poor, even less than 40%. Without a doubt, this is his worst performance of the entire season.

As his first full season as a starter in his career, Mahomes completed a season comparable to an MVP, replicating Levi's miracle last year. He is undoubtedly the hottest star in the league. It is precisely because of this that he is more eager to continue his outstanding performance in the playoffs.

But such thinking has become a shackle, fully exposing the shortcomings of lack of experience and impatience at critical moments.

An old fox like Belichick will naturally not miss it.

The Kansas City Chiefs' passing attack was slow to get going, so all the pressure fell on the ground offense. Levi's performance was still remarkable; but the problem was that when all the pressure fell on running the ball, the tactics were exposed early, and Levi was trapped in positional warfare time and time again, unable to play to his strengths.

Reid made timely adjustments, letting Damien, who is good at positional warfare, take on more running tasks, but the advancement efficiency was not high and the entire offense was fragmented. To make matters worse, the weather did not help.

The perceived temperature was approaching minus 15 degrees Celsius. The players waiting next to the court all put on long down jackets and turned on the heater. Only in this way could they ensure their body heat and avoid injury when they returned to the court.

As a result, the leather of the football becomes harder and more difficult to control, whether it is a quarterback, a wide receiver or a running back.

Just when we thought things couldn't get any more chaotic, one-third of the second quarter, it started to rain. It kept falling, and as time went on, the drizzle tended to intensify.

The freezing rain penetrated into my body through my jersey, and the little remaining heat was quickly sucked away, freezing into ice in the blink of an eye. Soon I could no longer feel my toes, and then my fingers. The connection between my brain and body seemed to be stretched again and again, making it increasingly difficult to control.

Chaos, disaster, mud.

Not only Mahomes, but also Levi faced such a bad game environment for the first time in his career. The entire Arrowhead Stadium was shrouded in rain.

The game continues.

All these factors combined, and the Kansas City Chiefs' invincible offense in the regular season was stuck in a quagmire, stumbling from the first minute of the game.

And chaos is exactly what Belichick and Brady are best at.

Experience is one thing, and it is priceless wealth; at the same time, the New England Patriots have been able to stand firmly at the top of the AFC in the past few years, essentially because they are good at chaos and good at dealing with such chaotic situations. Their team lineup may not be the most talented or the strongest, but Belichick and Brady know how to make full use of the resources in their hands and win in chaos.

In addition, in the last divisional game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the New England Patriots' ground offense made great contributions. In this game, they continued their strong performance and became the key to taking the initiative in bad weather.

Then, the New England Patriots took the lead.

"14:0".

With a passing touchdown and a running touchdown, the New England Patriots took the lead on the road in the cold rain and firmly grasped the initiative.

This situation can't help but remind people of the American League divisional series last season.

Exactly one year ago, the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs met in the divisional round. The defending champions at the time played against the challengers at home and were leading by a score of 0:21 in the first half. Almost everyone thought that the outcome was in doubt and the Kansas City Chiefs would be eliminated in the divisional round again.

However, Levi emerged out of nowhere and completely rewrote that game, eventually coming back with a Hail Mary buzzer beater to defeat the New England Patriots and advance to the AFC Finals.

Today, a year later, a familiar situation is happening again.

Originally, people were expecting the strong matchup in the sixth week of the regular season to be staged again, with the two teams joining forces to present a scoring battle; but in fact, it was a replay of last year's divisional game. If the Kansas City Chiefs want to continue their hope of defending the title, they need to stage a miracle of reversal again -

Reversals, I'm really tired of seeing them, okay? It's always like falling behind and then catching up, it's really boring.

This……

Sure enough, the Kansas City Chiefs are still no good. They look very good on the surface, but they are actually a paper tiger. They show their true colors in front of the real strong teams. The three losses in the regular season are the ironclad proof. Is the disaster going to happen again?
After all, the New England Patriots have firmly remembered the lessons of last year's divisional round, and Belichick and Brady will never repeat the same mistakes.

So, the Kansas City Chiefs are ready to go to bed?
