Chapter 393: Stealing the Show
When the Jacksonville Jaguars went away to challenge the Pittsburgh Steelers, the media and professionals were almost unanimously optimistic about the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Although the Jacksonville Jaguars once defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have no superstar players and are returning to the playoffs for the first time in nine years. In the past two or three seasons, there has been no sign of success. This team has risen strongly, advancing to the playoffs is more of a matter of luck, and their victory over the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round was unconvincing.
In addition, the Pittsburgh Steelers Iron Triangle teamed up to face the "Hail Mary combination" Smith and Levi. Such a duel is obviously more conducive to ratings.
Naturally, the Pittsburgh Steelers got unanimous support.
Does this scene look familiar?
In the first American League Division Series, the Kansas Chiefs received such treatment.
However, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New England Patriots in a soul-stirring comeback that made the entire media kneel down and sing conquest like grasshoppers. So what about the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Team manager Caldwell said: Haha, Kansas and I still have a draft account to settle.
Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars made a noise.
"45:42".
The following offense happened again. The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second time this season. They perfectly replicated the performance of the Kansas Chiefs against the New England Patriots and caused a minor upset.
But the process is slightly different.
The Jacksonville Jaguars performed strongly. People were expecting a boring defensive battle, but they never expected that the two teams' strong defensive teams this season would both lose their voices. Instead, the offensive team stepped forward to take over the game and start an offensive battle. .
Among them, Fournette, the rookie running back of the Jacksonville Jaguars with the fourth overall pick in the first round this year, performed well. He not only ran the ball, but also caught the ball. He seemed ready to compete with Levi. His strong and strong figure covered the entire field and helped the away team score. Achieved a "28:14" lead at halftime.
The Pittsburgh Steelers never gave up the game, caught up in the second half, and scored another touchdown during the two-minute timeout to close the score, narrowing the gap to three points.
However, the Jacksonville Jaguars spoiled the Pittsburgh Steelers' gamble and held on for dear life to end the game.
Fournette, the dazzling star of the game, was no less impressive than Levi.
He ran for 109 yards, received for 76 yards and scored three touchdowns.
The rookie running back is finally showing his energy at the right moment.
After the game, Fournette did his best to control himself during the interview.
"I said I would prove myself. Now, here I am."
Although Fournette didn't identify anyone, everyone knew who the words were aimed at.
Throughout the season, the media was looking forward to someone among the rookie players stepping up and keeping up with Levi's footsteps. However, it took until the playoffs for the game to finally become lively.
Caldwell: Hey, Kansas, I'm here to settle the score.
However, Fournette was still too introverted and boring, and he couldn't say anything for a long time. There was no spark between him and Levi throughout the season. Instead, the losing Pittsburgh Steelers caused controversy in the post-game press conference. .
Originally, the atmosphere was a little tense, but then reporters asked quarterback Roethlisberger.
"Big Ben, before the game, you used to look down on Levi."
"Your exact words were——"
To prove his innocence, the reporter also showed Roethlisberger his cell phone and showed Roethlisberger the Washington Post report from the previous week, reading the original text word for word.
"'Everyone has a mouth, but unfortunately not everyone has a brain; it doesn't matter if you can't understand your own weight. Come to Pittsburgh next week and let dad teach you a lesson. To be honest, I didn't give him a lesson at all. Keep it in mind that our opponents are at Fox Castle."
"So, do you have anything to respond to now?"
Roethlisberger's gloomy face could almost squeeze water out of his face: "Stop talking, I've lost all face. There's no need to say everything I said word for word. There's really no need. Who hasn't done that before?" Ever been stupid?
But thoughts are one thing, reality is another. Feeling aggrieved and angry, in full view of everyone, Roethlisberger replied with disgust on his face.
"hehe."
"Levi? He is just a system player."
"The Kansas Chiefs are an excellent team. They have a group of excellent players. Levi is surrounded by a group of talented players. So, I am not surprised that they won, but really don't brag about that rookie. I will do it for you." Shame on you, is this what you call professional?”
Roethlisberger is well-known in Pittsburgh, and no one will recognize him when he turns against him, even Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
He has been in the news more than once when he argued, fought, and even alerted the police with Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
A little Levi?
Roethlisberger didn't care.
The smell of gunpowder started immediately.
The media looked at each other: Levi? The player who turned the tide twice in a row in the wild card round and divisional round to score a winning goal at the last minute, "that catch" definitely did not rely on the help of his talented teammates. Big Ben, are you sure?
However, the media will not wake up Roethlisberger.
With a turn, the media threw Roethlisberger's words at Levi.
Then, Levi said a classic saying that was talked about throughout the North American continent.
"To me, it doesn't matter."
"Because I was preparing for the upcoming American League Finals, and he was wearing Louis Vuitton, holding a bottle of White-Claw, curled up on the couch in the arms of his boyfriend, wiping tears. ”
Firepower! Fully open!
White Claw, this is a sparkling wine that is booming in North America this year. It is low in alcohol, similar to sparkling water, and is very popular with girls.
Levi's face was calm, and he described a scene in an understatement. The media reporters thought for a moment that Roethlisberger's huge body looked "coy and curled up and silently crying"——
puff.
But this time, no media responded ignorantly to Roethlisberger: This is not a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Therefore, no one knows Roethlisberger's reaction when he saw this response, and it is estimated that no one within the Pittsburgh Steelers team wants to know.
Then, his eyes looked to the other side.
In the last wild card game, the New Orleans Saints faced the Minnesota Vikings away from home.
Wait, is it Levi again?
Levi: I’m already off work, so don’t look for me.
Although Levi is very popular now, and with the official support of the NFL, a little spark can detonate energy, but there is no need to involve Levi in everything. The same name is everywhere, and he is really going to vomit. The media can Can't we use some tricks to concoct news?
But the problem is that this game is indeed related to Levi.
Now Levi finally feels the Versailles exclamation of the queen Faye Wong:
My trouble? My problem is that I'm too red.
