Chapter 836 The Battle of Destiny
After waiting and waiting, hoping and hoping again, will the peak matchup of the new generation that the league has been searching for finally turn around in this year’s Super Bowl?
Maybe, maybe not, because time is the only way to prove; but there is no doubt that this year's Super Bowl perfectly met Goodell's expectations.
"Los Angeles Rams vs. Kansas Chiefs"——
Drum beat, play.
In the eleventh week of the regular season, the Kansas Chiefs went away to challenge the Los Angeles Rams.
This is a game that has attracted the attention of the league. Goodell has always hoped to establish a strong showdown of "Levi VS Donald". It is not a clichéd quarterback collision, but an alternative conflict between offense and defense. Goodell believes that this may become a game for the league. The next set of classic counterpoints.
Therefore, this was supposed to be a Mexico game, an important part of the NFL International Series layout, but unexpectedly, it was temporarily canceled due to the poor condition of the competition venue, and the game stayed in Los Angeles.
Disappointing!
However, Goodell was not disappointed——
The competition is exciting.
The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs teamed up to create a peak matchup that will go down in history. The back-and-forth battle brought out the charm of the passing attack to its fullest. It was addictive and the traffic exploded.
Attracting countless fans.
In the end, the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeated the Kansas Chiefs by three points.
The score was fixed at "51:54".
Incredibly, the Kansas City Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to score more than 50 points but still lose. This is not a historical record worth talking about, but is filled with bitterness.
There is no doubt that the topic was fully detonated and social networks were paralyzed for a time.
Later, this game was known as the "Super Bowl Half", sweeping the hot spots, and until the end of the regular season, it was still considered by countless experts and fans to be the most exciting game of the season.
What's more, the Kansas Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams have countless historical entanglements. They have accumulated over a long period of time and have continued to the present. From the past to the present, they are inseparably intertwined, which has contributed to the strength of the two teams. Strong collision increases resonance.
The bond is inseparable.
Finally, we got to where we are now.
In the 53rd Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs met, evolving from a half-time Super Bowl to a real Super Bowl showdown.
Although it is not "No. 1 seed VS No. 1 seed", it is almost the same. To some extent, it is even more anticipated and more exciting than "Kansas Chiefs VS New Orleans Saints" -
Youth storm will always be a scenery in the world of competitive sports.
What could be a more perfect way to end the 2018 season? The previous regrets and controversies are no longer important now. As long as the Super Bowl final is exciting, it can make up for everything.
Whether the Kansas Chiefs defend the championship or the Los Angeles Rams ascend to the top and are crowned, the final outcome is that the new generation team continues to shine; but more than anything else, the most important thing is the offensive battle between the two teams.
In the World Cup final, people always look forward to a goal battle, but it often ends in disappointment. In the past two decades, only Argentina's victory over West Germany in 1986 can be regarded as a goal battle——
"3:2".
The same goes for the Super Bowl.
It is precisely because of this that the battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's Super Bowl is still talked about today, and is hailed by young fans as the most exciting Super Bowl in the decade.
Now, the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams are the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive teams respectively this season. In addition, the Super Bowl half-time has indeed produced a record-breaking score, so what does this portend?
The entire social network exploded, with countless voices raging across the board. Not only the fans of the four teams in the federation finals made their voices heard, but also the people passing by and passers-by who had no interest in rugby also joined the battle. Heatwaves bring the illusion of midsummer in the middle of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Goodell has been looking forward to such a scene since last season; after going round and round, it finally appeared this season. If you think about it seriously, it is better to come early than to come late.
After another season of accumulation, Donald's status in the league has been rising steadily, Levi is no longer a rookie dark horse with a lucky aura, Goff has finally completed his growth and transformation, Mahomes has replaced Smith as the starter, and Youth Storm is becoming a full-scale duel. core.
This season's meeting may be more perfect than last season's timing. Maybe, everything is fate.
Wonderful, wonderful beyond words.
Goodell couldn't help but rub his hands——
Sure enough, everything was as expected. Now people have completely forgotten the chaos of the wild card round and divisional round. One by one they have begun to celebrate the excitement of the conference finals and look forward to the upcoming Super Bowl.
Bustling and noisy, the entire North American continent enters carnival mode, welcoming the biggest event of the year with the most fanatical attitude.
Perhaps, Kansas City is an exception.
At least, in a remote corner of the city.

Therefore, Jenna did not alert anyone——
Anne's funeral.
In a quiet and private small funeral, Jenna was finally ready to say goodbye to her daughter. In the joy of Kansas City, she allowed herself to be sad for a short time and say goodbye.
Today, drizzle is falling again in Kansas City, and there is a chill in the air.
There were less than ten people standing in front of the tombstone. They were sparse, their voices were muffled by the drizzle, and silence spread quietly in the sound of rain.
Jenna turned to look at Jeff and sighed softly.
"Anne had always wanted to be able to go to school and make friends with her peers; otherwise she was worried about her own funeral and wouldn't even know who to invite."
"We should promise her..."
The words could not be continued, and Jenna couldn't help but choke.
She thought she was mentally prepared, but apparently she wasn't.
Jenna turned her head and buried her head in Jeff's shoulder. She tried her best to control her tears, but she was still full of sourness.
