Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 794 A clear conscience
The brain operates at high speed.

Reid is thinking about the tactical layout. He needs to convince these young people from a tactical perspective:

Although they are behind in the score, they are on the right track. As long as they keep believing, remain patient and persevere, they will be able to turn the situation around.

As ridiculous as the situation may seem now, Reid believes that this game is not much different from the clash in Week 6 of the regular season.

and so.

Turning defeat into victory actually only takes a moment.

Reed stood in front of the tactical board, quickly getting busy and getting into shape——

hurry up.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, a voice rang out.

"Excuse me, Coach, can I borrow your time for sixty seconds?"

It's Levi.

He was wet all over, like a drowned rat, shivering with heat, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. The staff at the side handed Levi a bath towel and hot soup, hoping that Levi could deal with it as soon as possible.

In this kind of weather and this kind of confrontation, regardless of the outcome of the game, one could get injured if they are not careful, so they need to be extra careful.

Levi stood up with a towel in hand but no time to fix himself.

On the side, Vicky's face was solemn, "Rookie..."

He was worried that Levi would catch a cold or get injured, and health was the most important thing right now.

However, Levi did not respond to Vicki, but just stared at Reed's back.

Reid turned around and looked at Levi quietly, and the air in the locker room stagnated slightly.

Vicki exclaimed, "Coach?"

There was not much expression on Reed's white, tender and chubby face. He ignored Vicki's call and just nodded slightly to show his consent.

Levi held a breath in his chest. He endured and suppressed it again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold it back.

"Grass!"

"Pardon my language, but—"

"Shit! This feels terrible! Shit! Shit! Shit!"

puff.

Houston was the first one who couldn't hold back, "Sorry, I'm a bad role model, rookie, you've learned bad things."

Haha.

Sparse laughter suddenly surged, and the tense atmosphere in the locker room finally relaxed a little.

Levi and Houston exchanged glances and cooperated tacitly.

Then, Levi signaled everyone to calm down, focus all their attention, and take a deep breath. The entire locker room was silent, and all the bustling eyes were focused on Levi alone -

Levi was in a dishevel and covered in mud, but he still held his head high.

"Hey, listen."

"I know that not everyone has special feelings for this city. This is not Los Angeles or New York, nor is it Foxborough or Green Bay. This is just... Kansas City, a city that is not so wonderful but not so bad, a city made up of dedicated blue-collar workers."

"I know you think this is a professional league, a cold-blooded and ruthless league where profit is paramount. Even the Super Bowl quarterback may leave next season. Who is safe?"

"I'm sorry, Manager."

Vicki cleared his throat, "It's okay."

Hahaha.

The locker room burst into laughter again.

Levi continued speaking without pausing.

"So, we may leave at any time, including me, Sherlock and the coach. It's the same for everyone. This may just be a stop in our careers."

“But, not for them.”

"We are part of people's lives. They will suffer and be excited with us. They will think of us when they need encouragement. We are the only one they can rely on when they are at the end of despair. Then, we tell our children to be as good as us."

"Annie Galas was an ordinary child. She had no talent or ability. She couldn't even go to school to make friends with her peers. However, she looked up to us, took us as her faith and strength, and kept fighting against death. She made our work valuable."

Taking a deep breath, Levi carefully concealed the trembling in his voice. Then, he continued to raise his voice.

"As captain, I need each of you to shoulder this heavy responsibility. It is insignificant compared to the million-dollar annual salary in your pockets, but it is the lifeblood and hope of this city."

“When we step out on the field, we need to give it our all, not just for us, not just for the win, but for this city, for the people who live in this city and fill Arrowhead Stadium every Sunday to cheer us on.”

“This is the only thing we can do to give back to them.”

Snapped.

Levi pounded his heart hard.

"Please touch your heart and promise yourself, have you given your all, have you left nothing unreserved, can you hold your head high and have a clear conscience when you leave Arrowhead Stadium, can you proudly say 'I have no regrets'?"

"otherwise."

"Get out of here now, because you don't belong here!"

Bang, bang bang!
Kelce and Mahomes pounded their chests, stood up suddenly and roared.

"but."

"If you choose to stay, that's great because you are not alone."

“When we stand at Arrowhead Stadium, we are not alone!”

hoo hoo hoo!
Houston, Hill, and Berry all stood up and roared in response.

“They’ve seen us at our worst and most vulnerable, but they haven’t seen us at our best yet, and we owe it to them.”

Ah, ah ah!
The entire locker room was bustling with people standing up, without exception.

Not a single one, even Burns and Clark made the coaching staff cheer together, and the rolling heat waves were stirring in the air.

"In the first half, we were fighting, and even though the score looked very bad, in fact, we didn't perform badly, and the gap between us and our opponents was far from as bad as the score looked."

"In the second half, we will continue to fight, not because we refuse to surrender, but because we are ready to fight until the very end."

"Let me tell you, we are going to win."

buzzing.

Everyone in the audience looked towards Levi, their eyes filled with disbelief—

Levi, he's not the same as he was last year, or even the same as he was in the last divisional game.

So, does Levi have confidence now?

No, Levi still had no confidence because he knew how powerful his opponent was and how bad the situation was.

but.

Levi took a deep breath.

"There is no other reason, we will win, it's that simple."

There were no grand words, no resounding remarks, but that understated sentence was so sonorous and powerful that it echoed in the locker room for a long time.

Calmly and peacefully, Levi looked around, meeting everyone's gaze.

"We will win."

Then, Levi turned and looked at Reed.

Reed, who was always calm and steady, couldn't help but get excited under Levi's gaze.

Reid nodded, "We will."

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

The atmosphere in the entire locker room was completely cohesive.

Reed knew that the opportunity had come.

"In the first half, everything was fine. There was nothing wrong with our tactics. Now we are behind in the score, mainly because of mistakes. We need to improve our concentration and reduce mistakes."

"Also, the rain is still coming down and it won't stop anytime soon, so the chances of making mistakes are greater, which means we need to be even more focused."

“Sometimes, in a true top matchup, the winner is not determined by who performs better or plays more excitingly, but by who makes fewer mistakes.”

"Next, in the second half, we will not make any major adjustments to our tactics, but we need to make some details..."
