Chapter 1025 Complacency
In the 2017 season, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Wentz emerged from nowhere and entered the discussion for regular season MVP. Unfortunately, he lost to Brady and Levi in the end.
In the 2018 season, Kansas Chiefs quarterback Mahomes jumped out of the cracks in the rocks and entered the regular season MVP discussion, but ultimately lost to his teammate Levi.
In the 2019 season, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Jackson made his debut in the opening game. Countless professionals have already included him in discussions for regular season MVP. So this time, can Jackson break through the blockade and finally become the regular season MVP? Anyway, it’s worth looking forward to.
It can be seen from the entire momentum and state that victory is victory. In addition to victory, the transformation of the Baltimore Ravens from the inside out is the real key. The season opener has shown an unstoppable momentum, which immediately made the Green Bay Packers and The Chicago Bears' season opener was overshadowed.
And, that's still not all.
Running back Ingram is even more powerful, the team's defensive pedigree, and Hubble's overall layout and on-the-spot response. This is not just as simple as one plus one equals two, you can see the chemical reaction at a glance.
Today's Baltimore Ravens are likely to become an upgraded version of the Kansas City Chiefs. They can come from behind and overtake in a corner, becoming the biggest favorite for the Super Bowl in recent years.
Of course, amid the overwhelming praise, there are always doubts.
However, the Baltimore Ravens counterattacked head-on with an excellent performance.
In the second week of the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Arizona Cardinals with a solid performance, easily winning two consecutive games to start the season.
Facing No. 1 quarterback Kyle Murray, who performed equally well and is also worth looking forward to, Lamar Jackson showed an even stronger desire to win——
Passed for 272 yards, ran for 120 yards, and scored two passing touchdowns.
Just as explosive!
Jackson proved with actual actions that his magical performance in the opening game was no accident. He is becoming a top player who can sustain and stabilize high-frequency output.
There is no doubt that Jackson is hot, and can even be said to be the most explosive player in the league at present. He is full of enthusiasm up and down, inside and outside.
After all, compared with running backs, quarterbacks have a more dazzling superstar aura. Running backs need 120 or even 200 points to win attention, while quarterbacks may only need 70 points. .
But now, with Jackson handing in a 100% answer sheet, how could the league not go crazy?
In the hustle and bustle, the only shortcoming is the opponent:
The Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals, both teams are in the process of rebuilding at a low point. The pressure they bring on both ends of the offense and defense is really limited, but the Baltimore Ravens only narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals with one ball. The young team is still growing.
"Maybe", the Baltimore Ravens can come from behind and surpass the Kansas Chiefs, but for now, "maybe" is just maybe, a possibility.
However, it doesn’t matter, the real test is on the way——
Thursday night game in the third week of the regular season, "Baltimore Ravens vs. Kansas Chiefs."
Now, the Baltimore Ravens have a chance to prove themselves, let the "maybe" evolve into a "sure", they can indeed beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Whether it is the origin of the two teams, including the strong collision last season; or the growth and transformation this season, both of them currently maintain two consecutive victories; or it is the confrontational tension between young stars and future superstars——
Everything is exciting, the kind of excitement that makes your palms sweat.
"Hubble vs Reed".
"Jackson vs. Mahomes."
"Ingram VS Levi".
Also, "A defensive team that relies on its foundation to maneuver VS a defensive team that overthrows and reorganizes."
All aspects are interrelated, and from any angle, it is an absolute highlight at the beginning of the season.
If we say which team has the best potential to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs after the two weeks of the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens will definitely bear the brunt. The two favorites to win the Super Bowl are about to collide, and the final outcome must be that one team ends the season undefeated and wins gold. . The trolls are even more looking forward to it.
For Levi and the Kansas Chiefs, the first test of the season has finally arrived. Two useless victories barely concealed the conflicts in the locker room. The next game is the real test, and the chaos can no longer be hidden.
Regarding Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, don't rush to boast about being a god. Transforming into a Super Saiyan in one or two games doesn't mean much. You still need to show your strength against strong teams with real swords and guns.
Anyway, black Levi's and black Jackson's each have their own happiness.
The people who eat melons are completely in a frenzy.
To a certain extent, Ramsey and Brown's off-field drama has also been overshadowed. After all, those off-field laces only attract the attention of passers-by. What the real fans care about is still the real strength of the field. During the duel, even fans from both teams turned their attention to it——
A wonderful peak showdown is enough to ignite the enthusiasm for the entire next week and add some motivation to the repeated work life.
Everything was as expected and the game lived up to expectations.
From the first wave of offensive and defensive confrontation, the two teams quickly entered the state, showed their all-out attitude, and started the duel with their bayonets red.
Since the offseason this year, the Kansas Chiefs defensive team has been adjusting and building. Reid clearly knows that this will take some time and cannot be achieved overnight. They need to remain patient and focused.
After two games of running-in and adjustments, this new young defensive team is finding its form intermittently, showing the blueprint in the mind of defensive coordinator Spagnuolo, and performed well at the start of this game.
At the beginning, the currently popular Jackson showed full confidence——
They came prepared.
The Baltimore Ravens guessed the coin, and Hubble unexpectedly chose to attack first. This small change can show their current confidence and state.
Jackson, who was gearing up and eager to try, was at his best right after the start, passing and running, and successfully crossed the half-court line in just four offensive moves.
Unstoppable!
However, the Kansas Chiefs found a rhythm and maintained constant pressure in the frontcourt. However, they played tricks in the zone defense in the short passing area. Their dazzling line running disrupted Jackson's passing vision. They caught Jackson's high spirit and couldn't wait to prove it. With his own urgency, he successfully defended continuously and finally ended with a clean and beautiful tackle.
Strikeout!
Facing the Baltimore Ravens who were bound to win with great momentum, the Kansas Chiefs showed a brand-new attitude in the first wave of defense and won a round of applause.
However, the combination of Hubble and Jackson did show incredible courage——
Three yards on fourth down, strong play.
Right from the start, we hit hard.
Not just adventurous, but tough.
Jackson narrowly escaped the sack of the opposing defensive end Clark, staggered and stumbled and relied on his own legs to hold the ball and advance three yards, completing a thrilling fourth-speed transition.
Wow!
The audience was in an uproar!
