Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 894: I am the main one
"18:0".

On the scoreboard, the score is particularly eye-catching.

But to be honest, such a score difference is common in NFL history and is not shocking.

Whether it was the Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons two years ago, or the divisional round between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs last year, the score gap was larger, and the team that was behind in the score made a comeback.

Everything is possible——

This is the charm of competitive sports.

Ultimately, the focus lies on the Los Angeles Rams themselves.

Especially the offensive team.

Is McVay still trying to find a solution? This should be the most difficult game in McVay's short coaching career. But it is not uncommon to be good at playing with the wind. How to turn the tide against the wind is a subject that tests a coach's foundation.

Does Goff still have the energy and spirit?

What about Gurley? The league's highest-paid running back has always been disdainful of Levi and refused to give positive support to Bell's strike. Can he step up and play the role of the team's savior, like Levi?
Can the offensive unit that has been smooth sailing and unstoppable throughout the season regain its feeling?
The situation is indeed difficult, but the key to turning the tide is always in the hands of the Los Angeles Rams themselves.

Thousands of gazes weighed heavily on the shoulders of Goff and Gurley.

A quarterback should naturally be the hub of a team's rise; a star running back, who was in great form throughout the season, disappeared completely tonight.

Gurley: It’s frustrating.

He had never felt so aggrieved before. Even before the Super Bowl schedule came out, Gurley had been holding his breath. He hoped to prove himself and he was eager to defeat Levi.

In the locker room, Gurley even made a bold statement, hoping that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams could meet in the Super Bowl, and then he would show Levi how the league's top running back should perform.

but now?
Gurley's full-game stats were minus three yards.

Forget about teaching Levi a lesson. He now wished he could bury himself on the spot and disappear from the alliance without a trace.

He couldn't raise his head the whole time, and even his anger to swear was extinguished.

Gurley took a deep breath and kept cheering himself up. Have you seen the movie "Rocky"? Failure is not terrible. What's important is that he can always pick himself up and make a comeback, every time.

Since Levi can lead the Kansas City Chiefs to stage a Jedi reversal time and time again, then Gurley can do it too. He will prove himself, he will step on Levi under his feet, and he will prove who is the league's No. 1 running back.

Then, Gurley stood up, with a tragic look on his face, ready to take the stage again.

But he never expected that McVeigh's voice would come from the side.

"In this offense, Anderson goes first."

Gurley was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze, losing the ability to react.

C.J. Anderson, an undrafted rookie in 2013, spent five years with the Denver Broncos and won the 2018th Super Bowl championship with the team. Last season, he also won his first -yard season in his career, but he did not expect his form to plummet in the season. He moved to the Carolina Panthers and Oakland Raiders but was not able to stay there. He finally moved to the Los Angeles Rams in December.

At that time, Gurley was injured and temporarily unable to play, so Anderson served as the temporary starter.

but now?
Gurley was hurt.

McVay has no time to comfort Gurley's injured young heart. He now urgently needs Anderson's Super Bowl experience to play a role and gain a foothold.

First activate the ground offense, then drive the passing offense.

The Los Angeles Rams spent so much effort and carried so much pressure to get to the Super Bowl stage. They refused to retreat without a fight and were determined to try no matter what.

Some people may be biased because of McVay's youth, but it is undeniable that McVay is indeed talented and capable of being a head coach. McVay's ideas and strategies are correct:
Anderson's experience helped the offensive team gain a foothold. On the one hand, they looked for opportunities on the ground and deployed their strategies steadily. On the other hand, they helped Goff return to the ground. He did not expect to become a hero by scoring a touchdown with a long pass, but started with one pass after another, like a baby learning to walk.

The goal is not a touchdown, but a first down.

Be realistic, start with small goals, and slowly regain your rhythm and confidence.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Rams' offensive team has great talent; they just need to adjust their mentality, and Anderson's Super Bowl championship experience plays a big role.

Finally, the "Cosmic Sheep" found some form after stumbling and stumbling. Despite the difficulties, struggles, and adjustments, things are finally getting better.

Goff made three consecutive pass connections to help the team push across half court. Although they were struck out and unable to continue advancing, this time they entered the free kick area.

The kicker comes on the field and it's finally no longer a punt or a kickoff.

Thirty-seven yards free kick, done in one go.

"18:3".

The Los Angeles Rams broke the egg.

The whole place was boiling.

Who could have thought that the Los Angeles Rams didn't score until halfway through the third quarter. Scoring, which was as easy as eating and drinking in the regular season, became so difficult, and the opponent was not a top defensive team. Los Angeles fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a good thing.

Even though it was just a free kick, the Los Angeles Rams' offense eventually found its own rhythm and the atmosphere of the game subtly changed.

Perhaps, this is about to be another turning point?

However, the Kansas City Chiefs refused.

In the next offensive wave, the Kansas City Chiefs, who had built up their confidence and momentum, played with extra patience and composure. They had no intention of underestimating Donald and the Los Angeles Rams' defense, and they were steady and tough all the way.

Seventy-five yards, eleven plays, five runs, six passes, and a total of four minutes and forty-seven seconds. Finally, Mahomes used a fake run and real pass strategy to unexpectedly connect with wide receiver Watkins, who was rarely a target of the pass in this game. The latter ran into the gap and completed a seven-yard touchdown catch, ending this wave of offense neatly.

Continue to widen the gap.

"25:3".

Just now, the Los Angeles Rams' offense had just regained some form, found a glimmer of hope in the difficult situation, and seemed to be able to finally breathe.

Afterwards, the Kansas City Chiefs once again demonstrated their ability, playing steadily all the way, leaving Donald helpless and easily scoring a touchdown.

The score gap continued to widen.

And, more importantly, the Kansas City Chiefs' offense was leisurely and confident. Even when facing the defense led by Donald, they still showed the style of being the league's top offense in the regular season.

In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs are playing at their own pace.

No matter what the Los Angeles Rams do, they have already fully entered the state; next, the defending champions will enter the familiar game mode and completely bring the game under their control.

This is the real danger—

Give the Los Angeles Rams a wake-up call.
