Chapter 362 Probability Event
At this point, the first round of wild card games of the playoffs are all over.
The New Orleans Saints won, the Jacksonville Jaguars won, plus the Kansas Chiefs who won the day before, the higher seeds all won.
The only exception is the Los Angeles Rams.
and.
Unlike other close games, the game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Atlanta Falcons was the only one-sided matchup without suspense. The Los Angeles Rams had no chance in the entire game, and it was a fragile defeat.
Goodell expressed regret at this situation.
Although Goodell very much hopes to create a new look for the league and create a new fateful matchup, some people cannot seize the opportunity, and he is helpless. He can only say that becoming a superstar also requires luck.
Gao Fu: Are you talking about me? Oh, no, sorry to bother you.
The real protagonist Donald said: We will see next season.
No matter what, the wild card game ended. Fifteen minutes after the New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers, the NFL announced the schedule for the second round of wild card games.
January 13th.
Afternoon, "Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons."
Tonight, "New England Patriots vs. Kansas Chiefs."
January 14th.
Afternoon, "Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars."
Tonight, "Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints."
It’s coming, it’s finally coming——
"Levi vs. Brady."
Although Levi was looking forward to another showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jacksonville Jaguars had different ideas and disrupted the plan, so a scene that the entire league loved to see was about to take place.
The meeting between annual traffic and the appearance of the alliance easily sparked heated discussions.
No one will forget the shocking upset in the season opener. Even Brady became the background for Levi's emergence, witnessed the emergence of a new star, and laid the main theme of the league's hot topics throughout the season, which has been vigorous. The swing continues to this day.
Originally, from a script perspective, the Kansas Chiefs first challenged the second-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers in the divisional round, and then challenged the top-seeded New England Patriots in the AFC Finals. Such a script would be more reasonable and exciting, just like the 2012 season. Baltimore Ravens.
But now, the Kansas City Chiefs are facing the New England Patriots in the divisional round ahead of schedule. The biggest focus of the entire season has been staged one round ahead of schedule. It is inevitable that there is a feeling that the climax has been staged in advance. However, no one can refuse it. The heated discussions are sweeping the league like a hurricane. .
So, who can have the last laugh this time?
"New England Patriots."
Bart said.
Swishing, swishing, all the eyes of the audience "within the alliance" fell on Bart, their eyes showing some confusion, shock and pity:
Blair, haven't you learned your lesson yet?
Bart also felt guilty for a while, and he had already cursed two hundred swear words deep in his heart. He never expected that the Kansas Chiefs could actually come back and win. Facing the Tennessee Titans who were good at hard battles, they showed rare bloodiness and relied on key points. Excellent performance at all times to win a narrow victory.
Slapped in the face, slapped in the face again——
Everything happened so frequently that netizens have stopped complaining now, and all that is left are emoticons.
Maybe Levi is his evil star?
To be honest, Bart has been slapped in the face and scared. Dignity, pride, professionalism and authority are all in vain. The filter has been broken all over the ground. He also wants to support the Kansas Chiefs without thinking and look at the clouds with laughter. Shu, but after careful analysis, his conclusion is still:
The New England Patriots. This time, it was truly professional and 100% objective.
Bart swore.
"The Kansas Chiefs' season performance far exceeded expectations. Smith had the best record of his career and Levi set a new rookie running back record; more importantly, the defense showed strength at critical moments."
"This is all true."
"but."
"This team is too young, not mature enough, and still has room for growth. It is prone to fluctuations at critical moments, and its mentality and state are unstable."
"The Wild Card game against the Tennessee Titans was the best proof of that."
“After Mariota’s miraculous touchdown in the second half, the Kansas City Chiefs were completely in disarray, with vulnerabilities exposed on both ends of the offense and defense. If it weren’t for Derrick Henry’s fumble in the last two minutes, which caused a flaw in the situation, the confidence of the Tennessee Titans was shaken. , the Kansas City Chiefs may have been eliminated.”
"Such shackles have troubled the Kansas Chiefs since the first game of the regular season. No matter they lose or win, they appear unstable and it continues to this day."
"Such shortcomings are further amplified in the single-game elimination system of the playoffs, and will become a shackle for the Kansas Chiefs to complete their breakthrough."
"Maybe next season, the Kansas City Chiefs can complete their transformation and become a team that competes for the Super Bowl championship, but not this year."
On the surface, Bart has made great progress. He is more objective and rational. He is no longer a tough-talking person and has finally transformed.
But in essence, Bart still doesn't believe in the Kansas Chiefs, or in other words, he still doesn't believe that running back can be the key to a team's transformation; he still doesn't believe that a rookie running back can be the key to changing the league's structure.
The thing is that simple.
"And, in the divisional round, they are about to face the New England Patriots."
"To be more precise, they're facing Belichick and Brady."
"There is no doubt that Belichick and Brady are the best combination in the playoffs in the past fifteen years. The playoffs are completely different from the regular season. The entire atmosphere, pressure, rhythm, and state can be said to be two different things. "
"No matter what happens in the regular season, Belichick and Brady can always show their strongest form in the playoffs. The New England Patriots are currently the most difficult super team to beat in the league in the playoffs."
"What's more, the New England Patriots have shown their dominance in defending their championship this season."
"The New England Patriots lost a total of three games throughout the season, two of which came in September, and they only lost one game in the next three months."
"The opponents they defeated include the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and other four playoff teams. Except for the narrow three-point victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, all other games were twice. A big win with the ball.”
"As the No. 1 seed in the American League, the New England Patriots are ready to defend their title. They are undoubtedly the benchmark that all teams need to beat."
It's one thing not to believe in the Kansas Chiefs. There should be many people who disagree with Bart on this point, such as Lawson.
It's another thing to believe in the New England Patriots. The defending champions are indeed in excellent form this season. Two of the three losses throughout the season occurred in the first month of the season, which also proves that they are just slow to warm up. , once they enter the state, no one can stop them.
Lawson agrees.
There is no doubt that the New England Patriots are indeed the more favored side.
Bart thought, even from a probability perspective, he should be right once, right? The Kansas Chiefs wouldn't have been going against him all season, right?
