Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 905 Superhero
At this moment, Levi completely overturned the alliance's situation in the past 20 years -

Football is no longer just a quarterback's sport.

Thirty years ago, football was an era where quarterbacks and running backs shined together, and countless legendary running backs left their names in the history books.

But since twenty years ago, because of television broadcasting, because ratings are king, and because profits are paramount, the league has continuously revised the rules to give quarterbacks more and more protection, the power of passing offense has skyrocketed, the football tactical manual has slowly changed, and the quarterback's status has transcended.

In the past decade, running backs, who were once the core of the team, are gradually being marginalized and even considered "disposable" and are being ignored from all sides.

However, now, because of Levi, the keywords of Asian, rookie, and running back collide and intertwine. The performance of the regular season MVP and the Super Bowl MVP is changing the league's structure, quietly pulling the focus back and reminding fans with practical actions:
Running backs are still an indispensable part of football; running backs are still evolving and improving, from being simple tanks to players who can fully demonstrate their abilities in terms of strength, intelligence, speed and agility; running backs can still play a role in turning the tide.

All eyes were directed at him, and the running back stood under the spotlight for the first time in a long time, but he was more than just a running back.

The entire public opinion direction has completely changed surrounding the powerful collision between "Levi VS Donald", including running backs, defensive tackles, defensive ends, wide receivers, tight ends, cornerbacks, linebackers... and so on.

Players in different positions have received unprecedented attention this season.

Everything comes from Levi.

When the league discusses "defending the title", although it is difficult, it is not that far away.

新英格兰爱国者在2003赛季和2004赛季完成了，丹佛野马在1997赛季和1998赛季同样完成了，还有1992赛季和1993赛季的达拉斯牛仔也完成了。

Now, add the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are only the fourth team in the past 25 years to accomplish such a feat.

however!
In the NFL Super Bowl era, winning back-to-back Super Bowl MVPs is truly difficult, and only two players have accomplished this feat in the past half century.

One is Green Bay Packers legend Bart Starr, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967.

One is Pittsburgh Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw, who won the title in 1978 and 1979.

Moreover, both legends are quarterbacks.

Now, Levi has won the Super Bowl MVP again after 39 years, and is also the third player to accomplish such a feat in the NFL Super Bowl era.

More importantly, the first non-quarterback player.

Shocking, impactful, unbelievable.

This is far beyond imagination and is impacting the entire alliance with a sweeping force.

"Football should not be just about quarterbacks."

Honestly speaking, if it's just the running backs attacking the quarterbacks, it's still not enough to change the core image of the league where passing is king and the quarterbacks that have been established over the years. Even Levi can't do it, because his strength is not enough. After all, the quarterback's unparalleled status has been precipitated and accumulated over thirty or even forty years.

But now, that is not the case.

Levi is just a starting point and a lever. Through Levi, we turn our attention to positions other than quarterback and re-examine football as a unique "team sport", and things will be completely different.

It is true that the quarterback is important, very, very important, and the quarterback is still the cornerstone of a football team; but the quarterback is not the only one, nor should it be.

Thanks to Levi's rise and strength, players in other positions of the offensive and defensive teams have attracted attention, and the league has become unprecedentedly noisy and prosperous.

It's like a carnival.

This is the most rare and wonderful thing. There is no doubt that every step Levi takes is changing history.

Remember, just a week ago, Levi became the first Asian regular season MVP in the history of the four major sports leagues in North America, which shocked the world.

And now, Levi has gone a step further, subverting all aspects, whether it is at the level of physical characteristics such as race, age, etc., or at the professional level such as position on the field, league history, etc., to create a new era.

It is precisely because of this that the New York Times called Levi a "record breaker" and a "history maker". Now Levi's every move on the court is changing the league and even the global competitive sports landscape.

This is the most shocking thing.

No wonder!
No wonder all media have focused their attention on Levi, and there is no end in sight for the overwhelming wave of praise.

Whether the league wants to or not, Goodell can't turn things around now-

For the first time in twenty years, running backs are more popular than quarterbacks.

This sounds like a fantasy and is really hard to believe; but in fact, the alliance has not prevented such arguments.

The reason is very simple:
The Asian market, and even the global market, need stories like this, whether it's an underdog's comeback or a layman's sweep, whether it's a running back subverting the landscape or an Asian reaching the top, only then can they catch their attention.

What's more, the league will still be the biggest winner by starting with running backs, reshaping the image of football as a "team sport," and responding to the criticism and protests that have come from the league's continued promotion of quarterbacks over the years.

Well, there was no reason for Goodell to say no.

Although the league still holds high the banner of passing offense and quarterbacks are still valuable, this does not affect Goodell's efforts to reawaken people's attention to star running backs.

This is the power of a superstar.

Any topic, as long as it is related to Levi, can spark discussion.

After the Super Bowl, ESPN's "Inside the League" produced a special program to replay the Super Bowl game and summarize the season.

Bart was absent from the live broadcast. Netizens who were gloating over his misfortune speculated that Bart was so angry that he quit the entertainment industry and refused to make a fool of himself on a show broadcast live across the United States. Social networks were flooded with people making fun of Bart.

But no one expected that Bart would suddenly appear on stage with a donkey. Although he had no desire to live and his expression was struggling, he still put on an attitude of being ready to die, in the stunned gaze and amazement of all the guests and the American audience -

Kissed the donkey's ass.

Moreover, now that we have done it, we cannot deal with it carelessly.

Bart kissed the donkey for five full seconds, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should feel sorry for Bart or for the innocent donkey.

Not only were countless photos taken at the scene, but netizens also went crazy taking screenshots.

According to statistics, the live broadcast of this episode attracted 2018 million viewers, breaking the highest ratings record of "Inside the League" in the entire season.

As for social networking platforms, they are erupting like a volcano.

Regardless of whether you watched the live broadcast or the replay, there is no doubt that the animated images of classic moments were widely circulated in the form of emojis and were recorded forever on the Internet.

So, is this immortality?
