Chapter 713 Troublesome Problem
“Oh, God, is Lynn crazy?”
"Jesus Christ!"
"Lynn went for the two-point conversion and the Los Angeles Chargers fans went crazy."
The game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers was as intense as expected.
Amid the chaos and turmoil, the Kansas Chiefs showed good competitive form and entered the fourth quarter with a "21:14" lead; and relied on Levi's running touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter to continue to expand their lead. Advantages.
However, the Los Angeles Chargers, who have fully mature offensive weapons this season, are chasing after them. First, their pass-run balance is fully bloomed, and they rely on ground attack to recover a touchdown.
Then quarterback Rivers showed off his explosive passing touch this season. He held the ball high and fired with full power. In less than two minutes, he successfully connected with wide receiver Mike Williams and scored another touchdown. , tied the score.
At this time, there are still four seconds before the end of the game.
Score, "28:27".
Next, the Los Angeles Lightning only needed to score the extra point, which was overtime.
Just when everyone thought the Kansas Chiefs were about to face an overtime test for the second consecutive week, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Lynn made a surprising choice——
Two-point conversion.
Obviously, Lynn watched the game between the Kansas Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens last week. He knew the explosive power of the Kansas Chiefs offensive team. Instead of fighting for it in overtime, it was better to take advantage of the opportunity when it was in his hands.
Two-point conversion, if it succeeds, it will be a decisive victory, if it fails, it will fall before the finish line.
But at least the initiative is in your own hands.
Then, the spotlight at Stubhub Stadium was focused on one player:
Mike Williams.
In 2017, the seventh overall pick in the first round, in the same class as Levi and Mahomes, this highly anticipated and highly anticipated wide receiver disappeared after entering the professional league and has never been able to fulfill his talent.
Last season, he worked on the Los Angeles Chargers' special teams.
This season, he entered the main lineup but only served as the sixth wide receiver. The season is coming to an end, and the receiving yards have not exceeded 400 yards.
Ordinary, ordinary, unremarkable, blue-collar player.
However.
It was exactly this kind of Mike Williams who, in the last moments of a crucial matchup between rivals in the same district, stole all the glory. First, he connected with Rivers and scored a touchdown, shortening the score gap to one point; In the conversion, he overpowered cornerback Fowler and picked off the football to complete the conversion.
Killer.
"28:29".
The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at home, handing the defending champions their third loss of the season.
After the game, Levi's classic quotes once again aroused heated discussion.
"Look, I told you, I don't like Los Angeles."
The self-deprecating tone won applause and laughter on social networks.
Now, the season records of both teams have reached 11 wins and 3 losses. The Kansas Chiefs rely on the advantage of the division record to temporarily continue to hold the top spot in the division.
But this is only temporary.
The battle for first place in the American League West Division and the playoff situation in the entire American League have completely heated up——
On one side, the New England Patriots lost consecutive away games to the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers, suddenly falling behind, and their season record dropped to nine wins and five losses. Suddenly, the Houston Texans led by Watt suddenly emerged. After three consecutive losses to start the season, they went on a nine-game winning streak. Although they lost a fierce battle at home to the Indianapolis Colts to end their winning streak, they then defeated New York in a hard-fought away game. Jets, stand your ground.
Currently, the situation in the American League is extremely intense.
The Kansas Chiefs are still temporarily ranked as the No. 1 seed. The Houston Texans overtook the New England Patriots and are chasing the No. 2 seed. The New England Patriots have temporarily slipped to the No. 3 seed.
In addition, the Los Angeles Chargers have also confirmed their playoff spot in advance, but due to their inferior divisional record, they have to temporarily be ranked as the fifth seed, leading the competition in the wild card round.
In other words, if the regular season ends and the playoffs begin, the Kansas Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers have the same season record, but their fates are completely different because the two teams belong to the same division.
One team ranks as the No. 1 seed in the American League and not only gets a bye in the first round of the playoffs, but also enjoys full home court advantage in the playoffs; another team has to start from the wild card game and play against strong teams continuously. .
The same record, different fate, may even lead to a complete reshuffle of the Super Bowl competition, completely changing the situation of the entire league.
Because of this, the outcome of every game is extremely valuable.
Like the five major European football leagues, you never know the outcome until the last moment. Arsenal, which has been leading the way and going strong in the 2023 season, may also watch helplessly as Manchester City overtakes and steals the championship at the last moment.
The NFL, too. With two weeks left in the regular season, anything is possible.
There is no doubt that this game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers could completely disrupt the American League. Lynn's desperate move at the last moment was a stroke of genius, snatching a victory in a neck-and-neck duel. Determination and courage are commendable.
However, after the game, the Kansas Chiefs were once again caught in a storm.
It has nothing to do with the players or the team, it's just the carnival of the haters.
Ever since Levi was born, the eyes of envy and hatred have never stopped. In the eyes of those haters, the league unconditionally favors the Kansas City Chiefs in order to open up the Asian market. This is unfair. All media, all eyes, all traffic. Leaning toward the Kansas City Chiefs.
However, the Kansas City Chiefs went all the way, withstood the test of fierce battles, and finally reached the Super Bowl incredibly, becoming the new favorite of the league. The fans and haters could only draw circles and curses in the corners angrily.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, and no one wants to miss it.
It is worth noting that this is the third time the Kansas City Chiefs have lost within three points this season, and it is also the third time they have suffered a buzzer beater in the countdown period.
Difficult, really too difficult.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, this loss was particularly hard to swallow.
However, in the eyes of the haters, this is a carnival——
Can't wait to rub salt into the wound.
Moreover, the uproar over the Hunter incident has not completely cooled down, and it has become a weapon for the black fans to continue to infuriate and ridicule the Kansas Chief:
Not only did they reopen the scar, but they also stepped on it and tore it apart.
One or two people add insult to injury and take pleasure in others' misfortune. It is truly a carnival.
For a moment, people thought that the Kansas City Chiefs would miss the playoffs; but after rubbing their eyes and looking carefully, who is the No. 1 seed in the American League?
Kansas Chiefs.
Such a scene left the melon-eaters puzzled.
But this is exactly the case. It is precisely because the Kansas Chiefs' season performance is still outstanding, even too outstanding, so the haters must seize the hard-won opportunity, even if it is just a small black spot, they must put it under the microscope and publicize it. .
There is no way, I have been depressed for too long.
And the haters need to hurry up, because who knows if they’ll still be able to laugh after next week’s game day?
The window in front of you is the opportunity. Just like before the end of the world, they are reveling wantonly and everyone is going crazy.
