Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 835 The finishing touch
It's brief, but meaningful.

Brady knows how to hurt his opponents. They are adults and there is no need to punch, kick and swear like elementary school students.

Levi tasted it.

This was the first time Levi truly saw Brady out of control. He was no longer the high and mighty goat in front of the media, nor the perfect good man in the eyes of the public. His anger, his struggle, his meanness, his insidiousness, and he accidentally leaked a little bit of the truth.

Levi wasn't angry.

Because there was no need. On the contrary, Brady looked much more real. Levi thought he had done an excellent job, finally letting the goat fall into the mortal world, taking off the mask to show his true side, and being on an equal footing with the rookie, just a mere mortal -

Not God.

This kind of Brady is a little more friendly.

So Levi showed a bright smile and looked at Brady, "Oh, you are so nice."

BRADY: …

For just a second, Brady's expression froze, his eyes filled with surprise.

This scene made Levi laugh heartily. He gave Brady a hug and whispered in Brady's ear, "Keep up the good work next year."

collapse.

The string in Brady's mind suddenly broke, and he clenched his fist, almost swinging it towards Levi's face, but then he controlled himself -

It's because of the media, and definitely not because Levi is a mixed martial arts fighter. Absolutely not.

Then, Levi turned and walked away, head held high and calm.

It was a rare sight to see Brady standing there like a lost dog, barely able to hide his expression.

This scene was fully displayed through live broadcast on TV.

At the post-game press conference, Brady responded to questions about this scene with ease.

Brady, "I am digesting this loss. This may be the most difficult and painful loss in my career, and I need some time to accept it."

Reporter: "Is it harder than losing to the New York Giants in the 2007 Super Bowl and missing out on a perfect season?"

Brady, "…thank you for still remembering."

Although Brady remained calm and composed, people did not see him that way.

If you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to lose.

Later, a screenshot of Levi hugging Brady and whispering in his ear with Brady looking like he was enduring humiliation became an emoticon and spread across social networks.

Netizens came up with all kinds of words to describe Levi, and Brady's expression was the finishing touch.

This is a party, a carnival party for the entire Internet, and all major social networking platforms are more noisy than ever before.

At this moment, one can deeply feel that there is a reason why the New England Patriots are called "public enemies". Outside of New England, almost everyone is celebrating the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs, or to be more precise, celebrating the failure of the New England Patriots.

New York, carnival.

Buffalo and Miami, party.

Indianapolis, revelry.

And, that's still not all.

In the southern part of the North American continent, there is another city that is bursting with unparalleled energy.

In New Orleans, bars of all sizes were filled with angry, sad, painful, and tormented drunk fans who refused to accept the outcome of the NFC finals in the afternoon. They still believed that the NFC championship was stolen from them by the league, and that the Los Angeles Rams were the damn thief.

Until the moment when Mahomes and Levi connected to complete the buzzer-beater, the drunken New Orleans seemed to finally wake up and took to the streets cheering.

"Beat the Ram!" "Beat the Ram!"

Roaring, screaming, cheering, the mighty sound condensed into a powerful force, pulling the fans of the New Orleans Saints back to reality from their drunken sorrow and rekindled the dawn of hope.

The Kansas City Chiefs got the perfect revenge for the Indianapolis Colts, didn't they?

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the GOAT, didn't they?

If anyone can stop the Los Angeles Rams, it should be the "Chiefs in the Playoffs," right?
"Beat the Rams!"

The cheers were earth-shaking and spread throughout New Orleans.

All eyes are on this game, and the 2018 NFL season is finally down to the final showdown.

The Federation Finals all came to an end with a heart-stirring attitude.

In the NFC final, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints in overtime, perfectly avenging their loss in Week 9 of the regular season and advancing to the Super Bowl.

In the AFC finals, the Kansas City Chiefs made a thrilling comeback against the New England Patriots in overtime, evening the score in the sixth week of the regular season and continuing their hopes of defending the title.

Two games, two overtimes, with controversy, suspense, reversals and buzzer-beaters.

Wonderful.

It was, without a doubt, the perfect imagining of what a Confederations final could be, a spectacular culmination of the season.

However, behind the applause, controversies also attracted countless attention.

After the game, the NFL immediately admitted that there was an obvious missed call at the end of regular time in the AFC Finals and an important penalty was missed.

Then... there is no more...

Just like the National League final, the league simply acknowledged the existence of the wrong call, but did not apologize, make any statement, or have any follow-up response.

Obviously, the league refuses to have anything to do with the stigma of "match fixing."

Especially at such a critical juncture.

The New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs both filed formal complaints, asking the league to set up an independent third-party committee to investigate and give them an official response.

The New England Patriots were not to be outdone. They believed that the referee's decision to ignore Levi's injury and turn back the game time was a clear act of favoritism towards the home team and a potential for corruption. They also filed a complaint requesting an investigation.

One, two, three, anyway, this matter is not over yet.

It all depends on how Goodell handles the situation.

However, an appeal is just an appeal and cannot change the outcome of the game.

Regardless of the controversy, Goodell ultimately got what he wanted.

In both conference finals, the young teams narrowly defeated the veteran teams in overtime. The youth storm swept the league for the second consecutive year.

Last season, the meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl was hailed as an upset, pushing the chaotic season of a hundred schools of thought to a peak; and now, for the second consecutive season, young and energetic teams have successfully met, does this mean that the NFL is finally ushering in the rise of the younger generation?
In particular, the performances of two elite quarterbacks, Brees and Brady, in the combine finals were far below expectations, and all the statistics were not optimistic. After years of dominating the league, they finally showed signs of fatigue.

Experience cannot defeat the biological clock of aging.

So, does this mean that the NFL has completely changed?

Perhaps, Manning's retirement is the starting point. The league's golden generation is in decline across the board. Not only the four elite quarterbacks, but also the middle-aged generation led by Manning Jr., Rivers, Roethlisberger, and Flacco are all showing signs of fatigue. Is it time to focus on the young people?

Has the new generation finally risen in full swing?

For example, Luck and Prescott.

For example, Goff and Wentz.

For example, Mahomes and... Jackson?
