Chapter 654 The birth of an old enemy


Chapter 654: The birth of an old enemy
Ah, ah ah, ah ah!
The Los Angeles Memorial Stadium was plunged into madness, complete fanaticism, and a steady stream of enthusiasm that shook the whole world violently.

However.

However, there was a short silence in the commentary box, and the earth was shaking, and the mountains were shaking. The heart was agitated, the blood was boiling, and it was impossible to calm down.

"...The game is over."

"At the end of the game, the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeated the Kansas Chiefs at home."

"Final score, '51:54'."

"The game was very, very close, even closer than the score seemed. The Kansas Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to score more than 50 points but still lose."

"This is really..."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"The ultimate showdown, no doubt."

Cheering, exclamation, shock.

Not only the fans, but the commentators also need some time to digest.

Looking back at the entire game, I still can't believe that I witnessed all this with my own eyes. I couldn't stop admiring and exclaiming like machine gun fire.

"Statistically, both teams played their best game of the season."

"Goff, completed 63.2% of his passes, passed for 413 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions."

"Mahomes, completed 71.7% of his passes, passed for 478 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions."

"Some people may say that the suspense of the outcome of this game may appear in Mahomes' three interceptions, but this game is different from the New England Patriots' game. Mahomes' three interceptions Behind the interception, we need to read another set of data.”

"Aaron Donald, two sacks, two pass interferences, seven active hits."

"The best defensive player in the league last season did not hold back. Donald put incredible pressure on Mahomes. Those interceptions were not active turnovers, but passive turnovers under pressure; on the contrary, Mahomes It was an amazing game despite the storm coming from Donald.”

"Whether it's pass success rate, passing yards, including the number of touchdowns, everything is amazing."

"Mahomes deserves a round of applause."

ESPN was responsible for broadcasting the game, which easily broke the ratings record for a Monday night game this season.

To be precise, it not only broke the ratings of the Monday Night Game. This game became the first game this season with more than 40 million viewers. It lived up to expectations——

Following the opener, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to play at new heights.

Everything, as expected.

No, even though the expectations have soared, they still exceeded expectations. Both the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs were in top form, allowing the audience to see the first peak showdown of the season.

It is indeed the "Super Bowl Half".

Naturally, ESPN was in chaos from the front commentary box to the rear live broadcast room, and this group of professionals was involved in the storm.

Talking endlessly, passionate, unable to stop at all——

"If I must say it, the performance of Gurley and Levi, the main running backs of both teams, was slightly below expectations."

"The two running backs ranked first and second in running yards and touchdowns last season respectively. They are also recognized as the best running backs in the league currently."

"However, Gurley only ran 55 yards in the whole game, and Levi performed slightly better, but only 90 yards."

"It is worth mentioning that this game unfortunately ended Levi's record of exceeding 100 yards in 18 consecutive games. The young running back started his career since the thirteenth week of the regular season last season against the New York Jets. This journey continues until today.”

"This record breaks the record of legendary Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders who ran the ball for more than 100 yards in fourteen consecutive games, and sets a height that is difficult to surpass."

"For comparison, Marcus Allen, who once ranked second on this list, has exceeded 100 yards in eleven consecutive games." "Now, Levi has set this record. Fixed on the number eighteen.”

"Unbelievable! It may even be a record that the NFL cannot surpass for a long, long time."

"In a way, it's also very, very regrettable."

"However, in this game, all this is a foreseeable and understandable result."

"Because both teams played a spectacular passing game, the running game was severely reduced, and both Gurley and Levi had relatively limited possessions."

"To be precise, this is not just an offensive battle as shown by the score, but also an all-round duel from offense to defense to special teams."

"The strong meets the strong, and the state meets the state. Both teams played 120 points and played to the extreme. In the end, the Los Angeles Rams still had the slight upper hand relying on their home court advantage."

"The final suspense of victory or defeat is just a matter of millimeters, and it can even be more or less tinged with luck. Whether it's the Los Angeles Rams or the Kansas City Chiefs, they all deserve this victory. To be precise, it's not If either side performs poorly, the other side performs better. Although a winner needs to be decided at the end of the game, in my personal opinion, there is no loser in this game.”

No losers?
Logically speaking, this is a fact. They have tried their best to burn it all without leaving any regrets; but why are they still full of bitterness?

Levi stood there and breathed out gently——

Still unwilling.

It's not because the last Hail Mary was surrounded and missed the opportunity. In fact, the success rate of Hail Mary is very low. This is the reason why it is known as Hail Mary. Failure should be the norm if you put all your efforts into it.

It's because I'm not satisfied with my overall performance.

In today's ground attack, Levi's performance was indeed slightly inferior, but rather than saying that Reid's focus on passing offense did not give Levi enough opportunities to hold the ball, it was more that Levi and Donald were at a disadvantage in the head-to-head duel.

There is no need to deny that today Donald was indeed prepared and performed well. From prediction to execution to on-the-spot reaction, everything was perfect.

So Levi hit the wall head on.

Whether it's Donald or Watt, they have proven with their actual performance that the defensive team does hold up half the sky, and Levi is not alone in seeking defeat.

This was the first time that Levi had no advantage at all in a one-on-one confrontation. Not to mention the advantages, he didn't even see the loopholes.

Levi was not prepared to make excuses and did not need to make excuses. In the head-to-head confrontation between the best offensive player and the best defensive player in the league last season, Donald won first.

Through a strong matchup, Donald once again proved his ability, shutting up those doubters who repeatedly compared him to Watt and looked down on him. He is now fully capable of taking over Watt's mantle and becoming the league's new defensive banner.

Things are interesting——

Keep your head up, your chest out, your head high.

After the game, Levi did not go to his teammates immediately, but walked uprightly to Donald.

There is no need to deny or resist. Facing one's own failures and shortcomings calmly is the first step to progress. Arrogance and ignorance are the only obstacles that restrain oneself.

What's more, this failure does not represent the result of the next encounter.

Now, Levi has added another challenge and a goal.

Sure enough, Coach Burns is right. The professional league is full of challenges. There are people who are better than others, and there is a better future. Never be complacent, let alone stand still——

NFL, really fun.

From a distance, you can see Donald's slightly honest round face, which is red with sweat. Although he is tired, he cannot hide his joy.

Seeing Levi, Donald also said goodbye to his teammates and took the initiative to greet him head-on——

All of a sudden, all the bustling eyes gathered.
