Chapter 650 Back on track


Chapter 650 Back on track
“After a tough loss, have the Kansas City Chiefs really gotten back on the winning track?”

This is not a provocation, but an objective discussion.

First of all, the Kansas Chiefs are indeed unstable. Their losing streak collapsed in the middle of last season was simply inexplicable. Their wins this season have also had their ups and downs.

Secondly, although people have been criticizing Smith for his lack of explosiveness in the playoffs, as a stable quarterback, his stable output in the regular season undoubtedly sets the tone for the team. Now Mahomes is young and energetic. There can be ups and downs, that's a reality.

Thirdly, it’s not just the quarterback. Last season, the Kansas Chiefs struggled to rely on young people as their main lineup. This season, they have further replaced them with sophomores and third-year players. The growth of the young team still needs to withstand more tests.

It is precisely because of this that it is particularly important to quickly adjust and get back on track after losing a fierce battle and defeat the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now, the focus of the discussion "within the league" is:
In such a completely unbalanced and unilateral victory, is it the Kansas Chiefs who are ridiculously strong, or is it the Cincinnati Bengals who are in chaos?
You come and I go, each holding his own opinion.

Obviously, for a young team like the Kansas Chiefs that is full of countless possibilities, people still need to further observe and test——

This is precisely one of the greatest charms of the NFL. There is no absolute strong team or absolute weak team, and there may be hidden variables in every week's game.

This time, the Kansas Chiefs responded quickly with practical actions.

In the eighth week, "30:23" defeated the Denver Broncos, a double defeat of their rivals in the same division during the season.

Just like the first meeting this season, the score was very close and the situation was very stalemate.

After the Denver Broncos acquired "Cinderella" Keenum from the Minnesota Vikings, they hope to find a quarterback who can lead the team to victory; although Keenum performed well, he no longer had the amazing performance of last season. It has gradually fallen back to near the league average, and is even in danger of continuing to decline.

This also proves once again that amazing performance in one season and two seasons is nothing in the NFL. The difficulty is how to continue to grow.

The Denver Broncos still relied on a strong defense to launch an effective confrontation. Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller still gave top performance, not only sacking Mahomes three times, but also intercepting once.

It's a pity that it's hard to sing alone.

The Kansas Chiefs still relied on team strength, and at the critical moment relied on Levi's 33-yard long-distance run to break the deadlock and win.

A tough battle!
With two consecutive victories, the Kansas City Chiefs gained a foothold amid the turmoil and bumps, and returned to the winning track. After sweeping the Cincinnati Bengals, they also took down the Denver Broncos in the divisional civil war, showing that this season With growth and transformation, this team is indeed different from last season.

Moreover, the Kansas City Chiefs still haven't stopped.

Week 9, "37:21", defeated the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Browns, who have always been known as the weaklings, have selected the top pick in the draft for two consecutive seasons, and have long been the laughing stock of the league, seem to have finally begun to rise -

They tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime at home and defeated the Baltimore Ravens in overtime at home.

In a strong showdown in the same conference, the Cleveland Browns successfully played the role of a troublemaker, subverting the situation with an attitude of being an outsider in foreign wars and an expert in civil wars.

By the way, ties do exist in the regular season.

If both sides are unable to score, or if one side scores a free kick and the other side also scores a free kick - but without a touchdown, and the score remains tied until the end of overtime, it is a draw.

The Cleveland Browns twice dragged the game into overtime and plunged the rivals Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens into a death spiral. The completely new look ushered in the league's exclamation.

Naturally, people also have reason to look forward to the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Kansas Chiefs——

First, "No. 1 pick vs. No. 3 overall pick" is a head-to-head confrontation between defensive end Garrett and running back Levi, the two focal figures in last year's draft. So far, the topic of who is the parallel import among the top three picks in last year's draft is still hotly debated. After getting rid of the rawness and immaturity of rookies, the showdown between sophomores should be more worth looking forward to.

Secondly, Mayfield, the new No. 1 pick, is arrogant. He believes that the team can defeat the Kansas Chiefs and prove that he is a better quarterback than Mahomes.

"I'm going to prove why I'm the No. 1 pick and some guys are No. 10."

The topic became a hot topic, and even though the Cleveland Browns' record outside the division was disastrous, social networks were still abuzz with excitement.

ending--

No surprises.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cleveland Browns easily, shutting up those noisy voices with practical actions, and they were leisurely and at ease throughout the game.

Garrett once again missed the opportunity to prove himself. Levi scored 145 yards and two running touchdowns in the game. He easily destroyed the Cleveland Browns' defense and faced Garrett head-on with ease.

Cleveland Browns, defeated.

As for Mayfield?

Haha, no one cares.

Week 10, "36:14", swept the Arizona Cardinals.

During the offseason, the Arizona Cardinals can be said to be a tragic version of the Kansas City Chiefs. The team has experienced turmoil comparable to a replacement.

Head coach Bruce Arians announced his retirement. The official statement stated that it was an amicable breakup, but everyone is an adult and no one should believe in an "amicable breakup."

In January of the following year, Arians announced his comeback to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Obviously, he had no intention of enjoying his retirement life by picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the southern mountains leisurely. No need for extra words, one action was enough to slap him in the face.

Arians' retirement has left a hole in the Arizona Cardinals' turmoil.

Carson-Palmer, the former No. 1 quarterback, also announced his retirement. The Arizona Cardinals made some offseason operations:
Trade to acquire Sam Bradford, Mike After two quarterbacks, Mike Glennon, they actually selected Josh Rosen in the first round of the draft, which is called "incomprehensible".

After all the chaos and turmoil, Steven Wilks stepped in to take over the mess -

The situation can be imagined.

Facing a weak team, the Kansas City Chiefs showed no mercy and showed the attitude of a strong team. They only spent 70% of their efforts to easily sweep away the Arizona Cardinals and retreat.

This is the answer to the Kansas Chiefs.

After losing to the New England Patriots, they got back on track with four consecutive victories. They won tough battles and easily defeated their opponents. Their relaxed and comfortable attitude initially showed the style of a strong team, and they firmly dominated the field with a record of nine wins and one loss. The top seed in the American League.

Then, the much-anticipated game finally came——

"NFC No. 1 seed Los Angeles Rams VS AFC No. 1 seed Kansas Chiefs."

Halfway through the schedule, the two teams with the biggest favorites to win the Super Bowl so far are about to face off.
