Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 865 Extraordinary
"The roof of the Mercedes-Benz Dome was finally closed. Although the drizzle in Atlanta has stopped, the league still chose to close the roof after considering many factors."

"It's good news for both the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs. Now the indoor temperature is maintained at around 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius). There is no interference from wind and rain, and no influence from the temperature. For the passing offense, there is no doubt that this is perfect."

"Before this Super Bowl, the controversy and discussion surrounding the NFL continued to heat up, and the off-field topics even exceeded the appeal of the game itself. This is obviously not a good thing. For both teams, how to adjust their mentality and stay focused is undoubtedly a key."

"Although the Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions, the fact is that both teams are very young. They are both dominated by sophomores and juniors, and they continue to show upward momentum. In such an important championship game, it is really not easy to overcome off-field interference factors."

“But we’ll wait and see how both coaches adjust.”

"McVay is a man of positive energy. He faces everything with a positive and optimistic attitude, as if he has a perpetual motion machine installed in him."

"Reed is a calm and experienced captain. He has to face many complex problems, but he can always find the right way to deal with them. He doesn't mind delegating power and handing things over to the right people."

"Obviously, in terms of tactics, ability and strategy, the two teams are very, very close, and it won't be a surprise who wins or loses; the choice depends on the adjustment and control of mentality."

"Whoever can find focus and calmness first in this Super Bowl showdown will have the upper hand in the final battle."

Buzz buzz, buzz buzz——

The air was filled with restlessness, as if one could clearly see the rolling heat waves burning and surging. Fans of the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs were cheering at the top of their lungs and confronting each other without giving an inch, while the spectators were laughing and enjoying the grand spectacle before their eyes.

According to league regulations, the home and away venues of the Super Bowl are rotated between the two conferences. Last year, the AFC played at home, and this year it is the NFC's turn.

The home team has the option to choose the colour of their jersey.

McVay is not superstitious. He did not choose the white jersey that has had a higher winning rate in the past few years, but chose the iconic royal blue jersey of the Los Angeles Rams.

After all, the Kansas City Chiefs reached the top wearing red jerseys last year, didn't they?

So, this year the Kansas City Chiefs will be wearing white away jerseys.

Perhaps this will serve as a small psychological hint:

The Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs are both among the teams with the highest home winning percentage this season. The Los Angeles Rams have only lost one home game, while the Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated at home this season. It is obvious that the two teams can always burst out amazing energy on their own territory.

Now, on the Super Bowl stage, the Los Angeles Rams continue to have the home-field advantage, pushing the Kansas City Chiefs into a passive position.

No wonder all the Kansas City Chiefs fans put on the red jerseys representing their home stadium, trying to get a good start for the defending champions and offset the curse.

"The game begins."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are now watching Super Bowl 2018, the final battle of the NFL championship. The two teams are the AFC No. seed Kansas City Chiefs and the NFC No. seed Los Angeles Rams. This is undoubtedly the peak matchup of the season."

"let us wait and see."

The tide rose and the blood boiled, Nantz and Romo couldn't help but straighten their backs.

However, the excitement did not last long before it calmed down.

The picture is seriously different from expectations, even bigger than the gap between the seller's show and the buyer's show.

The Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs each face different problems.

The Kansas City Chiefs, as the defending champions, still showed their best form.

The first wave of offense was excellent. Mahomes used a beautiful short pass to tear apart Donald's rushing attack, connecting with Levi and Hill respectively to complete the breakthrough, and advancing to the opposite half of the field 27 yards, approaching the red zone. As the audience expected, this will be a big offensive battle.

However, at the critical moment, Donald relied on his personal ability to exert pressure and formed an effective collision, causing Mahomes to pass the ball in a hurry. Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, the protagonist who illegally intercepted the pass in the final moments of the NFC Final but escaped the foul penalty, once again shined on the Super Bowl stage and attracted attention.

Coleman intercepted the ball before Kelsey could connect with the ball.

The defending champion's first attack ended with an interception.

Then, the second wave of attack successfully advanced to the free kick range, but unexpectedly, kicker Buck's 46-yard free kick went wide of the goal, and the fans in the Mercedes-Benz Dome all held their heads.

In the third offensive wave, Donald contributed his first sack of the game and caused a fumble. Fortunately, Levi controlled the ball and avoided a second ball possession change, but then the Kansas Chiefs were struck out by the opponent's aggressive defense.

Three waves of attack, all ended empty-handed, reminiscent of the American League Finals.

But this time was a little different. On the one hand, the Los Angeles Rams' defense was tough, and Donald showed no mercy and released his energy without reservation. On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs made too many mistakes and could not find a frequency that suited them, thus wasting opportunities.

Similar to the American League Final, but the situation is slightly different.

On the Los Angeles Rams side, they were aiming to reach the top... but it was a mess.

Yes, it's a complete mess.

Goff, five passes, one hit for seven yards.

Gurley, five carries, zero yards.

There is nothing wrong with the above data, although it is indeed suspicious of the extent of the statistical error, but Nantz and Romo watched the live broadcast on the spot. They saw it with their own eyes and can confirm that the data is not wrong.

At the beginning of the game, the Los Angeles Rams defense created a ball possession conversion, and everyone thought that the Los Angeles Rams offense was about to show its power.

However, it did not.

strike out.

At the same time, the next two waves of offense were all strikeouts.

In the entire first quarter, the Los Angeles Rams only had one first down.

Yes, once. Goff passed the ball for seven yards, Goff ran the ball for three yards, and got the first down. This was the only time, and all the others failed.

It can be said that the Kansas City Chiefs' defense showed incredible strength, and it can also be said that the Los Angeles Rams' offensive strategy and tactics were a mess.

On the tactical level, McVay was completely exposed and restricted in front of Reid; on the execution level, Goff and Gurley were completely lost.

It's a mess.

Throughout the first quarter, the Los Angeles Rams offense advanced ten yards.

The pass gained seven yards and the ground gained three yards.

A total of ten yards, Goff alone took on all the advances of the Los Angeles Rams.

That’s all. It would be laughable at any time and in any situation. It’s hard to believe it happened on the Super Bowl stage.

This buyer show...are you serious?
