Chapter 772 Continuous Upgrading
“We will crush the Lightning, we will crush the Chiefs, and we will defeat them.”

"New England is the champ!"

"We don't care about them, they're just a bunch of clowns."

"I know they want to beat us, but it's not going to happen. Yeah, it's that simple."

"Yes, they may need a little luck and a little help because we are not going to show mercy."

Bustling and vigorous——

Social networks explode in all directions.

The attitude of the Indianapolis Colts from players to coaches to fans quickly swept the entire Internet, and New England Patriots fans immediately launched a counterattack, not only refusing to give an inch, but also attacking with all-out force.

The memory is still vivid.

In the sixth week of the regular season, the Kansas Chiefs went to Gillette Stadium to challenge the New England Patriots. In that game, the two teams were inseparable. In the end, the New England Patriots won with a free kick at home.

However!
This victory failed to become the focus of heated discussion and was robbed of the limelight.

After the game, Levi was angered by all kinds of discriminatory and offensive words at Gillette Stadium, and faced Levi's thunderous frontal counterattack.

After the game, the New England Patriots became the target of siege on social networks, and ended with an investigation, warning, and fine from the league.

This incident has already caused the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs to form an undying feud; but the matter does not end here -

After the game, a photo unexpectedly went viral.

No. 23, wearing a white away jersey, stood on the railing of the Gillette Stadium auditorium, filled with indignation and impassioned, and his anger was vented; the sapphire blue waves swarming from all directions were roaring with teeth and claws, but they all surrendered to Twenty Number Three was trembling at his feet.

A white silhouette stood tall against the blue sky.

In the photo, Levi does not show his front face, only a side face, but precisely because of this, the tragedy and magnificence of "one man against the whole world" are pushed to the extreme in imagery, and the artistic conception of the entire photo is taken to a higher level.

After that regular season game, this photo was also posted on social networks.

At first, it didn’t attract much attention, and in an instant it was drowned in the torrent of hot discussions; but as time went by, the number of likes and reposts on this photo increased, and it snowballed into a hot topic.

And, after it was officially published in the New York Times, it reached a new peak.

Four months later, this photo has become a new cultural phenomenon, spreading all over the Internet.

For New England Patriots fans, this photo is a tease, a mockery, an attack, and a humiliation, a constant reminder of what happened that day. Although they won the game, this scene after the game They were nailed to the pillar of shame.

Can't bear to look at it. Angry.

Moreover, this is still not all, the matter is still not over.

At the critical moment, Nike seized the opportunity and made a decisive move——

They bought the rights to use the photo from the original author and then printed T-shirts.

Color version. Black and white version. Printed version. Watercolor version.

Nike launched four versions in one go, all of which were white T-shirts. They were officially launched in December and became popular all over the Internet.

In just one week, this T-shirt sold three million units across the entire North American continent.

At this point, the matter was completely out of control, evolving from a mere sports event to a cultural phenomenon and becoming an important footnote to the NFL.

Goodell breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the league handled it in a timely and appropriate manner, otherwise the league would have been severely whipped. But now it is the opposite. Thanks to the league's active handling, football's reputation in the eyes of Asian audiences continues to rise. , once again seized this opportunity for Levi.

New England Patriots: ...So, New England is a stepping stone again?
Every T-shirt sold is like a slap on the cheek to New England Patriots fans and Gillette Stadium, and it hurts so much.

Till death.

No need to fan the flames, the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs already wanted to strangle each other. When the Indianapolis Colts continued to add fuel to the fire, New England fans were completely fried.

Full explosion!

"Haha, I just love how they hate us but can't beat me."

New England Patriots fans are well versed in provocation, seizing the key to life and mocking the stupidity of these losers with a victor's attitude.

The smoke of gunfire continues to spread and escalate.

In the midst of the chaos, the ignored, neglected, and forgotten Los Angeles Lightning is secretly sharpening its sword.

Over the years, Philip Rivers, who has become more and more Buddhist and gradually exudes the temperament of Jesus and loves the world, said in an interview: "I don't mind."

"I know we are underdogs and we are the underdogs, but we will still get on the field and try our best to win."

Calm, indifferent, but determined.

People seem to forget that the Los Angeles Chargers had 12 wins and 4 losses in the regular season, second only to the Kansas Chiefs and even better than the New England Patriots.

In fact, people are generally criticizing that the Los Angeles Lightning benefited from their schedule advantage and their opponents were generally weak. Among the opponents they defeated, the only opponents they defeated were the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks to advance to the playoffs. These are the real pseudo-powerful teams.

However, facing the Baltimore Ravens, who had just defeated them in the regular season, in the wild card round, the Los Angeles Chargers showed a completely different look in the playoffs, winning tickets to the divisional round with a convincing victory.

While everyone talks about the Indianapolis Colts missing out on a chance to avenge the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Chargers are eager to win a chance to defeat division rivals the Kansas City Chiefs.

They must go all out.

Therefore, there are still many variables in the game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Chargers.

If the New England Patriots underestimate their opponent, they may once again stop in the divisional round like last year.

All kinds of heated discussions, overwhelming the screen, prove Goodell's point of view:
It is true that the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts was a waste, which did affect the ratings; but Levi and the Kansas City Chiefs have gradually transformed. With the temperament of a strong team, the discussion remains high.

No need to worry at all.

The first divisional game lived up to expectations. Although the game process and results were not satisfactory; the Kansas Chiefs lived up to expectations and officially started their journey to defend the title with an easy victory.

Then, without stopping, the second divisional horse race kicked off without stopping. While the smoke filling the social network was still boiling and burning, the battle horn was sounded again, further pushing the climax of the playoffs to a new level.

This time, another topic of the season, the Los Angeles Rams, appeared at home to face the Dallas Cowboys, who are also the masters of the Youth Storm.

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.

Banging on the table like crazy.

On one side are Goff and Donald, on the other are Prescott and Elliott.

The common point is that the new generation, dominance, continues to rise in these two seasons.

No matter what the result of the game is, the overall rise of the new generation of young people is worth looking forward to. Two years after Manning retired, Houlang finally took over to fill the gap. Maybe it is not possible to reach that height for the time being, but the future of the NFL seems to be brighter and brighter than ever. good.

Sure enough, everyone likes the new and hates the old, even the NFL is no exception.
