Chapter 1083 National Focus


Chapter 1083 National Focus

In 1967, on January 15, the first Super Bowl was staged, marking the NFL officially entering a new era and kicking off half a century of ups and downs.

At that time, the American League champion Kansas Chiefs and the National League champion Green Bay Packers faced off. Regardless of the outcome of the game, both teams were recorded in history in this way.

Perhaps, in subsequent Super Bowl history, people will only remember the championship and often ignore the existence of the losing team; but the first one was different after all. Everyone in the entire league remembers the Green Bay Packers and In this way, the Kansas Chiefs stepped onto the stage of history and left their own footprints.

However, in the history of the next half century, the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs did not have much contact, and they were far from being called feuds.

One is in the American League and the other is in the National League. They meet every four years. No matter how exciting and exciting the matchup is, the tension disappears over time.

Since the beginning of the millennium, the most famous game between the two teams took place in the 2011 season, and it happened to be related to Houston Texans assistant coach Crennel.

The previous season, the Green Bay Packers had just reached the Super Bowl with great fanfare. The defending champion showed an unstoppable attitude in the new season, winning consecutively and preparing to replicate the New England Patriots' 16-game victory in the 2007 season. A feat of victory and aiming to reach the top for the second consecutive year.

In the fifteenth week of the regular season, facing the Kansas Chiefs, who have already lost hope for the season, their head coach has been fired, and their defensive coordinator has temporarily stepped in as an intern head coach, everyone is unanimously optimistic that the Green Bay Packers can continue to win. ; But I did not expect that Crennel led the Kansas Chiefs to play his own famous game, but it was also the only game worth mentioning in his career.

"14:19".

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Green Bay Packers, and they did so at Arrowhead Stadium.

That defeat was the Green Bay Packers' only loss in the entire 2011 regular season, and it is worth remembering.

However, now looking back at history, that loss has actually laid the groundwork.

In the 2011 playoffs, the Green Bay Packers were eliminated in the first game of the playoffs. In the divisional round, they lost to Manning Jr., who burns the universe every four years. Manning Jr. led the New York Giants all the way. Reached the Super Bowl and once again upset the New England Patriots and won their second championship ring.

Destiny, everything is fate.

Bring the topic back again.

Although the Kansas Chiefs extinguished the Green Bay Packers' hopes of winning the season that year, there was still no tense atmosphere between the two teams.

That game did not change the fate of the Kansas Chiefs' season, nor did it affect the Green Bay Packers' ranking as the No. 1 seed in the National League. Subsequently, the Green Bay Packers unexpectedly lost to the New York Giants, eight points behind the Kansas Chiefs. It has nothing to do with it.

There is fame, but there is no content in grudges and hatred.

So, "The First Super Bowl Rematch"——

Commemoration is worthy of commemoration, and historical significance also exists objectively, but there is no need to force value.

However, it is different, but it is still slightly different after all.

The schedule is about to pass halfway, and both teams have maintained unbeatable records. No one wants to fall behind here and lose their momentum of continuous victory.

Leaving everything else aside, for both sides, this is a game that cannot be lost. Even if there is no historical grudge, the meaning and weight of the game are different this season. Both sides will Go all out to win.

What's more, there is a focus here.

"Rogers vs. Mahomes."

Brady and Brees have entered the end of their careers. Although the two still maintained top-level competitiveness last season, they should not be able to last for long.

Manning Jr., Flacco, Roethlisberger, Rivers and other quarterbacks who once stood in the leading position of successor have also declined one after another.

Everything indicates that the older generation of quarterbacks is withdrawing from the stage of history, and the world belongs to young people.

Now, the leaders of the Mesozoic and New Generation quarterbacks are about to face off. How could the league not look forward to it?

Perhaps, the next GOAT will be born between them. Perhaps, in the next five or even ten years, their world will soon become theirs.

Compared to "Mahomes VS Jackson/Goff/Wentz" and "Mahomes VS Brady", this quarterback duel has completely different meanings different.

In a rare moment, when the league was promoting the Sunday night game in the eighth week of the regular season, it did not choose Levi, but Mahomes.

Amidst the rising tide of running backs, the league still unswervingly promotes strategies based on passing, and quarterbacks have never left the spotlight.

From his sudden emergence last season to his growth and transformation this season, Mahomes unexpectedly stood out and subverted expectations again and again. He not only surpassed young people such as Watson and Jackson, but also overtook Wentz, Goff, Pre Scott and other new generations who entered the league one step ahead of schedule have become representative figures of the current young quarterbacks.

Even under the light of Levi, Mahomes still relies on his performance to win a place.

Now, the opportunity is before you.

After facing Brady last season, Mahomes is about to face another elite quarterback Rodgers. Can he continue to prove himself?

Currently, the league is bustling with discussion. Is there the next elite quarterback among young people such as Mahomes, Jackson, Wentz, and Goff?

If so, who?

If not, who can become a top quarterback after polishing?

There is no doubt that in this debate, Mahomes is slightly ahead, but the advantage is not big. Other young quarterbacks still have bright futures; and the duel before us is A crucial test.

The hot discussion has spread across the board and cannot be stopped at all.

So, who is more optimistic?

Kansas Chiefs.

The answer comes to light.

It is unimaginable that after the preseason, the entire league was still complaining about the encirclement and suppression of the Kansas Chiefs, but now it is a different scene.

But if you think about it seriously, it’s not surprising.

In the past two seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have withstood the pressure to prove themselves time and time again. The trolls headed by Bart have swollen their faces to the point of deformation every time they slap them in the face; but this season, the Kansas City Chiefs have continued their strong performance. In particular, the toughness and tenacity shown in the fierce duel cannot be ignored.

Only trolls will blindly ignore the facts before them:

The Kansas Chiefs are a strong team.

Moreover, they are still upgrading. The next step is to become the pinnacle hegemon. The distance from breaking the window may only be the performance of this season.

It is conceivable that even when facing the Green Bay Packers, two undefeated teams faced off head-to-head. Based on in-depth analysis of strength, status, lineup, etc., I believe that the Kansas Chiefs can defeat their opponents. Still have the upper hand.

However, things are not that simple.

Even if everyone believes that the Kansas Chiefs can win 99.99% of the time, the Kansas Chiefs must win the game themselves.

What's more, the Green Bay Packers obviously won't give up the victory obediently.

Rogers: We're going to win.
