Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 854 Maverick
The regular season MVP should have been an honor, but now it has gradually turned into a hot potato because of the curse since the millennium.

Slightly embarrassed.

Moreover, this year Levi and Mahomes ranked in the top two in the regular season MVP voting. Does this mean that the power of the curse has doubled?
Very embarrassing.

Every year, the regular season MVP winner vows that he does not believe in the curse and is 100% able to defeat it, but the result is...

In the 2015 season, Newton had his worst game of the season in the Super Bowl.

In the 2016 season, Ryan led by points in the Super Bowl but suffered a shocking defeat.

Brady faced Smith’s Hail Mary buzzer-beater in the 2017 divisional round — Alex the Hell Smith?
So, all the MVPs fell silent, their anuses tightened, and they closed their eyes obediently. It is better to believe it than not to believe it, right?

Including Levi.

After the regular season MVP selection results came out, the reporter interviewed Levi immediately.

"Are you afraid?"

"Afraid." The answer was unexpectedly straightforward and left all the reporters confused. Something seemed to be a little bit wrong.

"Do you believe in spells?"

"Believe it. There is no doubt that there must be a reason why the curse has been popular in the league for so many years. I don't think I know more about football than you do."

It's hilarious, the "rookie" joke appears in unexpected places.

But this did not interrupt Levi.

"I know that last season, many people mentioned Kurt Warner, saying that Foles was the second Warner, and Smith was the second Warner. I am very fortunate that no one said I was the second Warner. Although I am very happy to be the second Warner, especially the Warner in the 1999 season, I am not sure whether Goff likes it."

"Of course, if I remember correctly, they're in Hollywood now, not in St. Louis, and Halle Berry is a fan, which is completely different from 20 years ago."

The whole audience burst into laughter, applause and whistles rang out one after another, it was very lively.

There is no doubt that this is another scene worth remembering in the NFL. As expected, Levi is worthy of being Levi, and he can always continue to create classic moments.

Levi casually teased his Super Bowl opponent:

This season, the Los Angeles Rams have performed well, thanks to their aggressive offense and smooth fighting style, earning them the title of "Cosmic Rams" and the love of countless fans; during the season, they once stood out from the crowd.

On November 11, the Los Angeles Rams played against the Seattle Seahawks at home. The game was stalemate. Goff kept shouting "Halle Berry"'s name during an offensive and arranged tactics. This scene was caught by the live camera and caused widespread heated discussion on social networks, and even received a response from Halle Berry herself. Goff showed a shy look when responding, which made him even more popular.

In the end, "36:31", the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeated the Seattle Seahawks.

These off-field highlights are indeed increasing the "Hollywood attributes" of the Los Angeles Rams and winning them more attention.

The media has also been teasing the Los Angeles Rams.

Now, it's Levi's turn.

No wonder reporters like Levi so much, he always has explosive points.

Reporter, "Are you serious? Are you really afraid of the curse? If so, what adjustments will you make in the Super Bowl? Obviously, you didn't advance to the Super Bowl to lose the game easily, right?"

Levi, "I'm serious. So, at this moment, I have no confidence." Pause, "But we will win."

One second, two seconds——

There was thunderous applause and cheers from all sides.

Whether you like Levi or not, you have to admit that interviewing Levi is always fun.

So, what about the regular season MVP curse? To some extent, Bart is right.

Levi is not a quarterback, he does not have the ability to control the game like a quarterback. Over the years, all the quarterbacks who won the regular season MVP have failed in their efforts to reach the Super Bowl, and regular season MVPs who are not quarterbacks often have a harder time advancing in the playoffs.

In 2000, regular season MVP St. Louis Rams running back Marshall-Faulk was eliminated in the divisional round.

In 2005, regular season MVP Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.

In 2012, regular season MVP Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was eliminated in the divisional round.

Now it's Levi's turn, and the same thing happens.

On the one hand, the running back made history again by winning the regular season MVP again after five seasons, which is even more rare in the trend of passing the ball being king.

On the one hand, the difficulty of the regular season MVP leading the team to the Super Bowl has increased exponentially.

Perhaps, this curse will continue.

Even professionals within the league have to admit that the curse is ridiculous and inexplicable, but it objectively exists.

Although the proportion of those supporting the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs has not changed, they also agree with Bart's idea: Levi faces severe challenges and heavy pressure.

Then, Bart noticed Josh Lawson's agitation.

In the past two seasons, as the No. 1 "Levi Blower", Lawson has become a leader "within the league" because the accuracy on one side has skyrocketed.

But in Bart's opinion, Lawson did only one thing: unconditionally supported Levi. Period. There was no such thing as professionalism or analysis. He just mindlessly endorsed Levi. How could he be professional?

So, it is the same now. Lawson will definitely speak up to defend Levi. The question is, when will he speak?
This time, Bart took the initiative and spoke before Lawson.

"If you are going to say that Levi's appearance is to break people's cognition and he has overturned countless records so far, then you can save some energy, because I can't convince you, and you can't convince me. I believe that the curse is greater than heaven, and you worship and believe in Levi to gain eternal life. Why don't we seek common ground while reserving differences?"

Joking, teasing, and complaining.

On the surface, it seems that Barth is avoiding the dispute; in fact, Barth has labeled all of Lawson's views as "blind superstition" and has preemptively attacked them.

Next, no matter how Lawson defended Levi, it was all "nonsense."

Lawson, however, took his time.

This honest man always seeks truth from facts. No matter how Barth views him, he always completes his research meticulously before making a final judgment.

"I'm sorry, but you may be disappointed. I have a slightly different point of view."

Um, this?
Not only Bart, but everyone in the league is focusing their attention on him. Could it be that the sun is rising from the west, and is Lawson ready to switch sides at the last minute?
Once again in the spotlight, Lawson was still the same.

"I think the Super Bowl might be a mess."

Wow.

Unexpected, absolutely unexpected, Lawson's views are different from everyone else's. This is the real eccentricity!

"Based on past experience, the defense often plays a key role in the Super Bowl, and the offense is prone to underperforming due to nervousness or excitement."

“Last year’s Super Bowl was an exception.”

"This year, both teams are under tremendous pressure. Meeting in the Super Bowl is what everyone expects. The attention and pressure of the 'half-time Super Bowl' are already off the charts. In addition, the consumption of the conference finals is huge, so the game is very likely to be a mess, and the final victory will depend on the performance of the defense."

"But because of that, the ground game will play a big role. I think Levi has a chance to control his own destiny."
