Chapter 612: Keeping pace
The fourth week of the regular season, "Kansas Chiefs VS Denver Broncos".
After Manning retired, the Denver Broncos have not been able to recover. In the offseason, they acquired Keenum, the quarterback who was amazing last season, from the Minnesota Vikings. The team is still on the road to reconstruction.
Professional opinions generally believe that the Denver Broncos cannot cause trouble to the defending champions, and the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to easily defeat their opponents and continue their winning streak.
However!
Never underestimate the energy that rivals in the same district can unleash in a derby.
The Denver Broncos almost upset the Kansas City Chiefs, but at the critical moment they relied on the Kansas City Chiefs defense to step up and prevent an upset from happening.
"27:23", four consecutive victories.
Week 5 of the regular season, "Kansas Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars."
This game is a repeat of last season's American League finals. At the same time, both teams are also popular candidates to win the American League this year. It is undoubtedly the focus of this week. Before the game, it is generally believed that this game may be very close and extremely stalemate. It will be a tough test for both teams.
Moreover, Ramsey, the "King of Talkers", is about to have a strong collision with Mahomes. The matchup between the new generation cornerback and quarterback is full of highlights.
All eyes are on you!
but.
The game was ruined.
The Jacksonville Jaguars failed to form an effective confrontation throughout the game. They were pinned to the ground and rubbed hard from beginning to end. They were completely at a disadvantage on both offense and defense, so much so that Ramsey turned the gun on himself.
"We are a disaster."
This is the truth.
Because the gap was too big and the advantage was obvious, Levi had already clocked out early in the third quarter; if it weren't for Mahomes who still lacked game experience and needed to seize every minute of game time to continue polishing, Reid also replaced him. Ended.
Of course, Mahomes doesn't mind and is still very motivated every time he takes the field.
In addition, Hunter, who took over Levi's job, was not prepared to let go. Like a wild beast, his strong and ferocious performance received cheers and exclamations in the league——
In less than a quarter and a half of game time, Hunter's running and receiving yards both exceeded 50 yards, and he also had a running touchdown.
The beast, truly a beast, rubs salt into the wounds of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Hunter."
"Time and time again, he has made a statement around the league with his stunning performances: Levi is not the only running back in the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Obviously, no one can ignore his presence."
Final score——
"40:14".
The Kansas Chiefs ushered in a hearty victory and continued their winning streak.
Last week, a game that was thought to be an easy victory fell into a hard battle, and many doubts began to emerge, worrying about the Kansas City Chiefs' stamina.
This week, the game that was originally thought to be very close to the point of closeness actually widened the gap. The Kansas Chiefs proved their strength with practical actions.
The season started with five consecutive wins.
For the second consecutive season, the Kansas City Chiefs are off to a perfect start with five consecutive wins, showing strong competitiveness in the first month of the season.
But the difference is that this season, the Kansas City Chiefs are no longer alone -
The Los Angeles Rams also started the season with five consecutive wins.
In the 2016 draft.
The Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Goff with the No. 1 overall pick, while the Philadelphia Eagles selected quarterback Wentz with the No. 2 overall pick.
The two quarterbacks entered the league with countless expectations, but both encountered a shocking education in their rookie seasons, leaving them confused and unable to find their way.
Last season, the two young men both experienced transformation after entering their second grade, and their brand-new performance welcomed the cheers of the entire league. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Rams stopped in the wild card round, the Philadelphia Eagles entered the Super Bowl but lost to the Kansas Chiefs, and Wentz ended the season early due to injury, so that he fell into a crisis of starting seats during the offseason.
Coming into the new season, both third-year quarterbacks are sharpening their skills.
Gauff was the first to usher in the outbreak.
The Los Angeles Rams' defense is led by Aaron Donald, the league's best defensive player last season, and the offense is led by Goff, who has completely transformed. In addition, Shaw became the team's head coach at the age of 30, setting a new record for the youngest head coach in the league. Under the guidance of Sean McVay, the team has completely transformed.
After the training of last season, this season shows a more mature and stronger appearance.
After defeating three tough opponents in the Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks in a row, he remained undefeated in the 2018 season and kept pace with the Kansas City Chiefs, making the entire league's eyes brighten.
The Los Angeles Rams lead the NFC and have last season's best defensive player.
The Kansas City Chiefs lead the AFC and have last season's best offensive player.
The pattern suddenly became clear, and a bold and crazy idea emerged——
What if the two teams could meet in the Super Bowl?
Naturally, the fateful showdown of "Levi VS Donald" emerged.
Wait, what about "Levi vs. Brady"?
No impact.
Levi and Brady, this is a duel within the American League, a decisive battle at the top of the conference finals; Levi and Donald, this is a cross-federal collision, both sides run wildly on their respective runways, and finally look forward to a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
In fact, Levi and Donald have never met on any occasion, let alone played against each other; but everything seems to be doomed early on.
One is a new-generation defensive idol that the league is touting. When Watt suffered from continuous injuries, he took over the facade of the league's defensive team.
One is a new-generation offensive idol who has emerged from nowhere, shouldering the glory of the offensive team besides the quarterback, and has no stage fright when facing Brady.
At the same time, "defensive end VS running back", the positions are also exactly opposite.
Last season, Goodell tried to brew a duel between the two young people. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Rams were eliminated early in the first round of the playoffs.
This season, at the end of the first month of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams both stood out, and opportunities naturally appeared——
Even without Goodell's intervention, the media themselves could no longer contain their excitement and excitement, and began to imagine a magnificent drama.
Then, the rush begins to brew.
Before formally contacting Donald and Levi, the media had already created an atmosphere through data comparisons, season performance, etc., until the two teams both won five consecutive games and became the only undefeated team in the league. Reporters You know the time is ripe and the opportunity has come.
then.
Immediately, reporters on three floors inside and outside surrounded Donald. They scrambled for the microphone and wanted to stuff it directly into Donald's mouth. Poor Donald was trapped like a three-hundred-pound baby, sweating profusely. That honest and honest look looks like he is about to cry.
Questions surrounding Levi were rained down like a hail of bullets, making people question the extent of the personal grudge between the reporter and Donald.
"Aaron, what do you think of Levi?"
"Levi is known as the number one running back in the league today. Can you guard him?"
"As the best defensive player in the league last season, are you ready to face Levi head-on?"
"Some people say that the league's best defensive player and best offensive player never met last season. Both of them are not worthy of their reputation. Do you agree?"
"Who do you think is better, the Rams' five-game winning streak or the Chiefs' five-game winning streak?"
"Are you confident that you can defend the offense led by Levi and Mahomes?"
"...Alon, are you afraid of Levi?"
