Chapter 645 Doubt life

"0:31".

Lewis looked at the score and fell into deep thought——

How did things develop to this point?
Lewis' belief that the Cincinnati Bengals can beat the Kansas City Chiefs is definitely not a bluff. Not only is he sincere, but he is also full of confidence.

However, the situation in front of him made Lewis immediately confused.

Throughout the first half, the Cincinnati Bengals had no chance at either end of the offense and defense. From tactics to execution to details, there was no bright spot. Even with a magnifying glass, you couldn't find it. It was a complete mess.

Involuntarily, Lewis began to doubt life.

Could it be...that's it?
No, no, no, no, of course not.

Lewis couldn't bear to be arrested like this and was slapped hard in the face by the rookie. He just refused to accept it anyway.

Nowadays, the alliance is also in decline. For the sake of profit, no face is lost. From top to bottom, everyone kneels down and licks the rookie. One or two are so docile and well-behaved that they can hardly stand up.

Just a running back. Running back! Even Asian running backs are still consumables and can be pursued appropriately. Is it really necessary to do so?
Where is the glory of the NFL? What about rugby tradition? Where is their dignity and pride?
Aren’t these important?

He refused.

What's more, it's not just about the rookie.

Lewis has been in Cincinnati for sixteen years, almost the same time as Belichick has been with the New England Patriots, and he is highly respected in the team.

But this is a professional league. Morality, prestige, and reputation don't matter. Victory is the only key, and the championship is the best proof.

Belichick can be one person below the New England Patriots and above ten thousand people because he created a dynasty for New England.

And Lewis was able to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals for so many years not because of his high reputation, but because he brought the team back to the playoffs after many years and built a strong team around Dalton, with stable output for five consecutive seasons. , advancing to the playoffs every year.

But over the years, the patience of Cincinnati management and fans has bottomed out——

Obviously, they expect the team to go one step further on the basis of advancing to the playoffs. They need to break the curse of being unable to win in the playoffs. They need to see the team in the conference finals and even the Super Bowl stage.

Exactly the same situation Reid was in in Kansas City.

However, Lewis was not as lucky as Reed. Reed not only broke the curse of losing in the playoffs, but even further completed his transformation last season; but Lewis suffered the nightmare of missing the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

Cincinnati's patience is running out.

To be precise, a large number of fans have expressed strong protests. They believe that Lewis's stay with the team for sixteen years has far exceeded expectations and has done more harm than good. It is time for the team to make a major change in the coaching staff.

Those calls are getting louder and louder.

Moreover, what is even worse is that on the surface, the management said that they still support Lewis and believe in Lewis; but secretly they did not stop the fans from continuing to protest, letting it go and allowing the protests to rise——

This is a warning.

Lewis saw all this.

He knows that this season is his last chance, and he will die if he doesn't succeed.

Lewis held his breath. He thought he could retire honorably in Cincinnati and end his career with flowers and applause; but he did not expect to fall into the crisis and predicament of late. He must now fight for his reputation and glory. Fight, there is no way out.

In a desperate situation, the boys of the Cincinnati Bengals are strong enough. Their record of four wins and two losses so far has temporarily silenced those protests and opposition, and the normal situation inside and outside the team seems to have returned to normal again.

Therefore, Lewis will not allow the rookie to ruin his efforts.

It's not okay to lose; it's even more impossible to lose to that rookie.

Taking a deep breath, Lewis turned around and strode back to the locker room. The whistle blew again in the second half, and the Cincinnati Bengals regained their strength and seemed to have regained their spirit, finally showing the strength they had shown in the first six weeks of the season.

The first to sound the counterattack horn is still the trustworthy offensive team.

Dalton, nicknamed "Ginger Head", is waking up from a dream and showing different states. The most important change is that the shooting time is shortened, and he is crisper, firmer and more decisive. He relies on changes in rhythm and tactical cover to suppress the continuous impact of the opponent's defensive team. .

At the same time, Dalton showed a beautiful and precise pass, proving that it was no accident that he was able to lead the team to the playoffs for five consecutive years. He continued to flourish in short and medium passes, successfully opening up the situation.

Finally, a seven-yard short pass found the team's top wide receiver Tyler Boyd for a touchdown, finally breaking the deadlock for the Cincinnati Bengals and scoring for the first time in the game.

On the court, Dalton clenched his fists in celebration.

On the sidelines of the court, Lewis jumped into the air and roared with passion, as if this was not just a touchdown, but a Hail Mary.

Dalton turned to look at the master Lewis who had trained him, opened his arms and ran away, gave the father-like Lewis a big hug, and roared with tears in his eyes——

"You're not going anywhere."

"You're not going anywhere!"

And, that's still not all.

The Cincinnati Bengals' most powerful and deadly weapon was the first to awaken, which also gave the team a shot in the arm, making everyone excited.

Then.

"Interception!"

"Linebacker Nick Vigil has made a contribution!"

"Mahomes's passing choice was still too risky. He did not choose Watkins, who had already formed a one-on-one matchup on the sideline, but chose Levi who was trapped in the slot."

"Obviously, the Cincinnati Bengals defense was well prepared this time."

"Virgil appeared on the passing line between Mahomes and Levi and intercepted halfway, leaving no chance for Levi at all."

"Interception!"

"Accurate prediction, accurate positioning, beautiful one-handed block and interception, and finally completed the interception."

"Wow!"

"The Cincinnati Bengals did not give up the game. Lewis and his team are still watching and fighting. The Kansas Chiefs hit a wall after returning from halftime. Does this mean that the suspense of victory is back on the table?"

The situation is a little confusing.

Mahomes slapped his thigh in annoyance, but found that he had lost control of the force, and his palms and thighs hurt. However, in order to maintain his image, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, continuing to remain aloof.

Looking up, Mahomes saw Levi.

Mahomes thought that Levi was going to comfort him. In the last game, he was intercepted because of his risk. As a result, he made the same mistake again in this game. Not only Levi, but also the offensive linemen also turned their heads. One or two tried to comfort but didn't know how to speak.

Unexpectedly, Levi took off his helmet and showed a big smile.

"Well done, that's right."

"There is no psychological shadow left. Don't be afraid to pass the ball just because of your last mistake. You should trust your instinctive judgment."

"This is the true nature of a hero!"
