Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 988: Sensational Alliance
August 2019, is the third round of the NFL preseason.

When the entire league's attention was focused on Kansas City, opening its bloody mouth to try to devour Arrowhead Stadium alive, the Indianapolis Colts quietly pressed the detonation button of the atomic bomb.

Andrew Luck announced his retirement.

alliance:???
Wait, what?
Who? What happened? What happened? Did they miss something?
Boom, boom boom boom.

The entire league was stunned.

Lack, only 2018 years old, is the winner of the league's best comeback award in the season. He is the "successor to Manning" chosen by the Indianapolis Colts with all his heart. He entered the league with the halo of the chosen one, stood under the spotlight from the first day, and started a glorious journey.

The results of it?
Without warning and suddenly, he announced his retirement.

At this time, it was only three years since Manning retired.

A heavy bomb that shocked and shocked the entire alliance.

Last season, Luck, who returned from injury, played another wonderful season, proving that his talent at the quarterback position has not disappeared; however, the Indianapolis Colts' hopes of revival hit a wall in front of the Kansas City Chiefs, and unfortunately stopped in the divisional round and failed to go further.

However, the Indianapolis Colts are full of confidence and are gearing up for next season. They are looking forward to the future with confidence. They believe that a healthy Luck can keep the team competitive in the championship and it is only a matter of time before the Indianapolis Colts return to the Super Bowl stage.

However! but!

Lak actually chose to retire!
The Indianapolis Colts and the entire league were in a state of stagnation.

Messy in the wind.

Everything was so shocking and unexpected that when the news came out, people's first reaction was,

"April Fools' Day joke".

When Reid entered the press conference room, he was prepared for a media storm; what he never expected to see was a piece of watermelon.

Stunned and dumbfounded.

The usually lively reporters were all stunned, whispering to each other, looking at a loss and having indigestion.

Veitch then took the stage and handed Reed a note telling him what had happened.

Reed was also slightly stunned.

Although the press conference continued, the reporters were all distracted. Now they had no time to focus on the siege of Levi. The news from Indianapolis was bound to bring about a series of chain reactions and even completely change the landscape of the American League in the new season.

At the first moment, the reporter also dropped the bombshell and asked Reid for his opinion.

Reid said he didn't understand the situation for the time being, but he believed that behind the seemingly sudden decision, Lack should have discussed with the team repeatedly, and it was definitely not an easy decision for the player; no matter what happens, he sincerely hopes that Lack can have the life he desires.

Finally, what no one expected was——

The protagonist of the Kansas City Chiefs press conference evolved from Levi to Luck, and ended abruptly.

However, this is the reality.

Hot topics in the Internet age are fleeting, and right now, the only focus of the entire league is Lak.

In 2012, the Indianapolis Colts' front office made a drastic decision. They gave up on the injured Ron Manning and placed all their hopes on the No. draft pick, Luck. They withstood the pressure and believed in this chosen one.

As a result, seven years, just seven years, Luck turned away from the Indianapolis Colts. And during this period, Manning led the Denver Broncos to two Super Bowls, won the championship once, and also won the regular season MVP honor once.

But what about the Indianapolis Colts?
Nothing. Only one trip to the American League Finals in the 2014 season.

Indianapolis Colts Uniform Group: …

The slap in the face was so fast, so hard, and so sudden that even the battle-hardened uniform team was dizzy and lost the ability to react for a moment.

So, what happened?
Was there a conflict between the Indianapolis Colts' front office and Luck? Or was there a disagreement between Luck and the coaching staff?

After all, the new season has kicked off, and the Indianapolis Colts are also facing turbulent times.

The preseason also ended with three losses in a row.

For the Indianapolis Colts, who performed well last season and have high expectations for this season, such a start was totally unexpected.

And now, Lak inexplicably dropped a bombshell, and the media immediately linked it to the locker room uniform staff, with all kinds of speculation flying around.

Everything the Kansas City Chiefs are going through, in a flash, is perfectly grafted onto the Indianapolis Colts.

Lak said, none of them, stop guessing, "I'm just tired."

At the post-match press conference, Lak gave an official response.

The decision was not sudden. To be precise, Lack had been discussing it with the team for two full weeks.

Last season, he returned from injury and performed well again; however, during this offseason, Lake was hit by injuries again.

A "mysterious, slow-acting, long-lasting" leg injury in the ankle and calf that, worse still, was slow to heal despite different treatments.

At the press conference, Lack said, "... this killed the joy of football. I couldn't enjoy training, I couldn't enjoy the game, everything became painful and struggling, I couldn't even sleep well."

"In 2016, I was injured all the time. I couldn't train or rest. It turned into devastating pain. From then on, I told myself that I refused to go through such a disaster again."

So, when injuries resurfaced, Lack decided to turn around and retire completely.

Obviously, this decision was difficult; at the same time, it was devastating for the Indianapolis Colts.

Because they lost their cornerstone quarterback, the team that had painstakingly built around Luck since 2012 was about to lose its engine.

It also completely disrupted the team's plans for the new season. The draft is over, the free market is coming to an end, and even the team's offseason tactical training and running-in have ended. With less than three weeks left before the official start of the new season, Lake suddenly announced his retirement, so what should the team do?
The management team is not a magician. They cannot create something out of thin air. Where can they find a starting quarterback at this moment?
Of course, the Indianapolis Colts have a backup quarterback, and football is a team sport in which no one is indispensable, including the quarterback. In the end, the test is still the overall strength of the team, so there is no need to panic.

But the substitutes are called substitutes for a reason. More importantly, the layout that the team spent five full months to complete has now been completely overturned.

This move by Lak put the entire uniform team in a desperate situation.

To this end, Lake and the team have been communicating and exchanging ideas. According to Lake, they have been talking and discussing every day over the past week.

Unfortunately, the team was ultimately unable to convince Lak.

"Retire!"

Lark announced, without any reluctance or looking back, he turned and left, leaving behind a chic back and a mess of feathers on the ground.
