Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 960 Top
In 2019, the top ten of the NFL's top players were officially announced——

Tenth place, Julio-Jones, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver.

There is no doubt that he is still one of the most dominant big receivers in the league. Although the Atlanta Falcons' season record has been getting worse and worse and they have never recovered from the shadow of the Super Bowl defeat two years ago, causing his ranking to drop by six places, he still remains in the top ten.

Ninth place, Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers quarterback.

The team's record is still poor this season and it has missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, but this has not affected the strong output of the league's highest-paid player. Not only did it break Brady's league record of 359 consecutive passes without an interception, it also created a new league record of 0.335% interception rate in the season, ranking one place higher than last year.

Eighth place, Antonio Brown, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

For Pittsburgh, this was a chaotic and terrible season, but Brown's performance was still strong. He was the receiving touchdown leader this season, which was also the reason why he broke up with the team. Despite the chaos during the offseason, it still did not affect his position in the players' minds, which dropped six places from last season.

Seventh place, Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots.

Needless to say, Brady's name is enough. But everyone knows that last season was painful for Brady. Although his personal performance data was better than the 2017 season, without the chaos of the 2017 season, his ranking in the top this season took a small dive and slipped six places.

Whether Brady can make a comeback next season will be a major attraction for the league.

Sixth place, Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams running back.

As the league's highest-paid running back, Gurley has maintained peak performance for two consecutive seasons, but his terrible performance in this year's Super Bowl has damaged his reputation and has been questioned. Despite this, Gurley's ranking remains the same as last year, neither rising nor falling.

However, Gurley knows, and the league knows, that with Levi's continued strong performance, Gurley will be able to prove himself again next season, which will be an important highlight.

It is worth mentioning that Los Angeles Rams quarterback Goff ranked only 33rd.

Last season, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Wentz emerged out of nowhere and landed at third place on the top 100 players list; this year he plummeted to the bottom at ninety-sixth place, but no matter what, at least Wentz still had his moments of glory.

However, even though Goff led the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl, their ranking remained tepid, rising only three spots from last season.

From this we can see that in the eyes of the players, the real pillar of the Los Angeles Rams' offensive team is Gurley, not Goff.

So, if the Los Angeles Rams want to remain competitive next season, the pressure is all on Gurley's shoulders.

Fifth place, Patrick Mahomes, quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs.

In his first starting season in his career, Mahomes was ranked fifth after being unranked last season, and he felt the attention from the league firsthand.

Whether it's the on-field data or the second place in the regular season MVP voting, even though Mahomes is still green and still has obvious room for growth, this season has already shown people Mahomes' ability and potential. This quarterback has jumped out of the cracks of the stone like a monster.

Looking back now, why didn't any team notice him before the 2017 draft?

The Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears are both in deep thought, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who held the fourth pick in 2017, are also in a state of confusion after facing the quarterback problem.

However, no one can compare to the San Francisco 49ers.

Originally, the San Francisco 49ers, who held the second pick, had never considered choosing a quarterback, but now they have entered the chaos of demolition and reconstruction for the second consecutive season, and they can't help but doubt their lives. They once missed Brady's true love and Rogers' loyalty. Did they miss the unique Mahomes again?
Fourth place, Khalil Mack, Chicago Bears linebacker.

The 2016 Defensive Player of the Year moved from the Oakland Raiders to the Chicago Bears last season and once again proved his ability with unparalleled top performance.

In the list of top 100 players, surpassing Watt to enter the top ten and standing out among a group of offensive players is the best affirmation for Mark.

In the 2016 season, people have been questioning whether Mark could win the Defensive Player of the Year award because Watt was out for the season; but now Mark has proved himself with practical actions, and at least in the minds of the players, his strength and excellence have been recognized.

This list is exciting and powerful enough up to this point. From here, you can deeply feel the excitement of the 2018 season. When you close your eyes, you are filled with memories.

So, who can break through the fierce competition and rank among the top three?
Third place, Drew Brees, quarterback of the New Orleans Saints.

Twelfth Pro Bowl, fourth All-American second team, record-breaking fifth season pass completion percentage leader, second season quarterback rating leader, broke the league's passing yardage record held by Manning, and so on.

How should we describe Brees' 2018 season?
brilliant.

In fact, until now, people still think that the league has robbed the New Orleans Saints of their chance to advance to the Super Bowl. The controversy of the NFC Finals has not completely dissipated. Brees played a perfect season and continued his dominance in the playoffs. If it weren't for that missed call...

Obviously, the league also realized that there were serious missed calls in the two federation finals, which was a serious matter.

After the Super Bowl, the league set up an investigation committee to investigate the penalties and referee team. After a full month of long investigation and cross-examination, the league released a 97-page investigation report.

The report stated that there was no shady dealings and it was purely an accident; but in order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the league is discussing how to amend the rules.

For example, if the referee team disagrees with the penalty, or the coaching staff disagrees with the missed call or the wrong call, they can request a live video replay for judgment. There are already relevant rules, but after the two-minute timeout, the coaching staff is not allowed to challenge the penalty with a red flag, so now the league needs to discuss how to adjust the rules to avoid similar situations in the critical moments of the game.

blah blah blah.

The teams and players are not buying into this and believe the league is playing it safe.

However, the big ball market and market layout are involved behind this, so the team owners kept their mouths shut and did not encircle Goodell.

At this moment, when looking at Briss again, I can't help but sigh in admiration.

But it is undeniable that Brees deserves the third place, which is the respect he has earned with his performance.

Second place, Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle.

So, what about first place?

At this point, who else can beat Donald and Bliss to top the top 100?

The answer seems to be obvious.
