Chapter 288: The Lone Star of Heavenly Evil
"God, oh, hell..."
"The touchdown was confirmed by the referee. There were no accidents this time. There is no doubt that this was a touchdown. The Oakland Raiders defeated the Kansas Chiefs at the buzzer at home, ending the six-game winning streak of their rivals in the same division at the beginning of the season."
"Wow, I mean - welcome to the NFL."
In competitive sports, everything is possible. Counterattacks in which the weak defeat the strong are always happening, and this is even more true in the NFL. The teams are closer in strength, the contrast between strengths and weaknesses is even weaker, and the victory or defeat is often just a matter of millimeters. .
The main quarterback Derek Carr suffered a back injury, so that the Oakland Raiders completely lost the rhythm of last season and fell into the quagmire of four consecutive losses after two consecutive wins at the beginning of the season.
Although Karl returned from injury last week, he still failed to reverse the decline.
This week, the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs, two rivals in the American League West, met. Almost no one was optimistic about the Oakland Raiders winning. All ten votes "in the league" voted for the Kansas City Chiefs, overwhelmingly. The advantage determines that the top seed will move towards a seventh consecutive victory.
However, in the NFL, one should never jump to conclusions.
The game was extremely fierce and tense, with fouls, yellow flags and even expulsions throughout the game, and continued until the last moment of the game.
"30:24".
With three minutes and 24 seconds left before the end of the game, the visiting Kansas Chiefs led by six points. Then Carr stepped up, completed key connections in a row, and incredibly led the Oakland Raiders into the end zone. A fierce game unfolded on the yard line.
At the critical moment, a yellow flag foul disrupted the situation——
The Kansas Chiefs' yellow flag ruined their successful defense and gave their opponents an extra offensive opportunity. The Oakland Raiders' yellow flag also ruined a touchdown and had to overturn it and start over.
However, Carr did not miss the fourth opportunity and successfully connected with a two-yard pass and scored a buzzer-beating touchdown to tie the score.
"30:30".
At this time, the entire game has been consumed:
00:00.
However, the Oakland Raiders can still challenge for extra points.
Kicker Giorgio Tevecchio, who missed an extra point in the first half, withstood the pressure and scored in one fell swoop.
"30:31".
The Oakland Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at home to end their undefeated season.
The Oakland Raiders simply did not give the opponent's offensive team a chance to play again, forcing Levi to sit on the sidelines and stand helpless on the edge of the court.
This was the first time that Levi truly experienced the essence of rugby——
Turn-based. group.
Without the defensive team, the offensive team cannot take the field; without the offensive team, the game cannot advance; and without the special teams team, today's victory or defeat may be completely different.
Without one without the other, the team is a complete group.
Although Levi continued his outstanding performance since the season in this game, he did not get the opportunity to turn the tide and reverse the situation this time.
Helplessly and regretfully, Levi swallowed the first defeat of his career.
With this ending, the Kansas City Chiefs' winning streak came to an abrupt end without warning, and the entire league was shocked. Carr played the second-highest 417 passing yards in his career and scored three passing touchdowns, which was even more like a miracle. Completely subvert the predictions and interpretations of professionals.
Bart: ...Grass.
This is simply amazing!
Bart strongly suspected that he and Levi were not compatible. Why did fate play tricks on him like this?
On the front foot, he was slapped in the face until he had to lower his head to admit his mistake. He turned around 180 degrees and turned into a dog licker.
On the back foot, he was slapped in the face again. Levi lost like this. The 21-game winning streak from the NCAA to the NFL ended with the Oakland Raiders. Those were the Oakland Raiders. Was there any mistake?
The left side of his face had just been swollen, like a honey puppy, and now the right side of his face had been slapped so loudly that Bart was so desperate.
Then. Bart is popular again——
"Pele II", "Pele of football".
There is a crow-mouthed Pele in the football world. Whoever is caught will be unlucky. Now the football world finally has its own Pele. Whoever supports him will lose.
Look, the New England Patriots, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and now it's the Kansas Chiefs' turn. Corpses are everywhere wherever they go, and no one can escape Bart's curse.
There is even an emoticon that has become popular. Bart squints his eyes and stares forward at the camera with a smile on his face, with the line, "If I choose you, tell me whether you are afraid or not."
Bart also got angry directly.
Professional, this is called professional, do you guys understand? My opinions are all professional analysis, which is completely different from Bailey's random opinions——
Can it be the same?
Bart deeply believed that his lifelong reputation and professional image might be completely destroyed because of Levi, and he had to find a way to restore it.
This is not a grudge, but it is a grudge.
With a stiff neck and a stiff waist, Bart really got into a fight with Levi.
Bart believes that the Oakland Raiders were just an accident, a small accident. After all, the Kansas City Chiefs were severely depleted. They continuously defeated last season's playoff teams such as the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Oakland Raiders struggled to the end and unfortunately lost by one point.
After a short break, the Kansas City Chiefs can regroup.
"They'll get back to winning ways. Trust me, they will."
However--
The nightmare of the 2013 season repeated itself. The Kansas Chiefs seemed to have completely lost their way, losing to the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys in the next game.
After suffering three consecutive losses, Reid once again realized his shortcomings:
The on-the-spot command ability is insufficient.
So, next week was the bye week, and Reed made adjustments.
Reed chose to delegate authority, giving offensive coordinator Matt Nagy the power to call plays during games.
This is nothing new to Reid.
In the 2015 season, after five consecutive losses, Reid did this. At that time, Peterson took over the responsibility. The Kansas Chiefs then ushered in ten consecutive victories, which also earned Peterson the position of head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
This year, Reid also hopes that Nagy can change the team's offensive strategy and not waste the good competitive form of Smith, Levi and Hunter this season.
However, this time the adjustment did not have immediate results.
After returning from the bye week, the Kansas Chiefs still could not get out of trouble. They lost to the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, and once again ushered in a three-game losing streak.
This, what kind of operation is this?
First the six-game winning streak started, and then the six-game losing streak hit the bottom. This free-falling season process is really incomprehensible. Fans with a slightly weaker heart may have just laid down.
Two Kansas Chiefs fans were hit hard:
Mr. Bart, Grandpa Bart, please, stop being stupid and please continue to blackmail Levi as much as you want. The "Levi Black" camp needs your flag to continue flying.
Even Bart couldn't help but doubt himself. Wait, was I right all along? Is Levi just an embroidered pillow that looks useless? If he had continued to grit his teeth and refused to let go after the Pittsburgh Steelers game, wouldn't he have become a god now?
Thinking about it, Bart fell into the grace and beauty of daydreaming.
