Chapter 787: Raging Fire
“Grass!”

"Get away!"

"Cheaters! You stole our victory!"

"weasel!"

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Meanwhile, Kansas City is preparing for the upcoming conference finals.

On one side, the NFC finals in New Orleans had come to an end, and chaos broke out at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, with overwhelming curses and abuse pouring down.

On the court, it was a different scene.

Ah, ah ah!
Aaron Donald clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and roared, his baby face looked fierce and murderous, blood spread, and he roared without reservation.

Not far away, Drew Brees put his hands on his hips and lowered his head depressedly. The expression on his face hidden in the helmet could not be seen clearly, but his annoyance and anger could be deeply felt——

Just a little bit closer.

This may be the best opportunity for the New Orleans Saints to return to the Super Bowl and compete for the championship again in the entire decade since they reached the Super Bowl in the 2009 season.

However, they still missed it.

Before the American League finals started, the National League finals started first.

The New Orleans Saints faced the Los Angeles Rams at home. People originally expected an offensive battle, but unexpectedly, the defense became the protagonist.

Be it Goff or Brees, their passing performance has been limited. Brees, who has the highest average passing success rate in his career among active players, also performed poorly. Not only did his passing success rate once fall below 50%, but Two interceptions were sent, and the offensive battle did not take place.

Until the official timeout of the game in the fourth quarter, the two sides were still inseparable. The New Orleans Saints were only ahead with a free kick; then the Los Angeles Rams once again turned the tide from the edge of the cliff and tied the score with a 43-yard free kick. The National League finals were dragged into overtime.

However.

In overtime, it was still a stalemate.

The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams both had opportunities, but both were ruined, and each had two offensive possessions, both of which ended in punts.

When no team is able to score and there is a stalemate, this also means that whoever can score first, whether it is a free kick, a touchdown, or a safety score, will be able to win.

The Los Angeles Rams took a chance.

Rather than saying that it was the offensive team led by Goff that made a contribution, it was better to say that the kicker Greg-Zuerlain of the special teams team fell from the sky on colorful clouds like the Monkey King, saving the Los Angeles Rams:
After scoring a 43-yard free kick to equalize the score at the last minute of regular time, Zuerlein scored a 57-yard super-long free kick with only two minutes left in the first half of overtime to end the game. An incredible and stunning performance brought the game to an end.

Free kick to win.

The full score was "26:23".

Intense, stalemate, suffering, fierce battle.

The National League finals ended in a tragic and tragic manner.

This year, Brees is thirty-nine years old. He doesn’t know how many more years he can hold on, or whether such an opportunity will come again.

The veteran's unfulfilled ambition left the always calm Brees standing there, unable to recover for a long time. He needed more time than in previous years to swallow the bitterness of this defeat.

In sharp contrast, the young and energetic Los Angeles Rams cheered and celebrated. If there is anything that can be happier than advancing to the Super Bowl, it is to advance to the Super Bowl on the shoulders of the archenemy in an away game. This can even make happiness Double.

The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is not satisfied—

The victory should belong to them, but the despicable Los Angeles Rams stole their victory.

The thing is like this, it happened with one minute and 45 seconds left at the end of the regular time of the game.

Before Los Angeles Rams kicker Zuerlein emerged as a superhero to save the day, the New Orleans Saints offense was firmly in control. At that time, the score was "20:20".

Brees once again showed his elite quarterback style, and a series of smooth passing attacks returned to their peak state. The passing success rate was 100%. In less than two minutes, he led the New Orleans Saints to cross the half court.

Subsequently, facing a ten-yard dilemma on third down, Brees remained calm and accurately passed the ball, finding his wide receiver Tommylee Lewis (Tommylee Lewis); however, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey- Coleman (Nickell-Robey-Coleman) illegally hit the receiver before he touched the ball, knocking Lewis directly and causing the pass to be incomplete.

According to league rules, a collision occurs when a player does not have the ball. This is illegal pass interference, a yellow flag foul and a ten-yard penalty.

In other words, Coleman illegally hit Lewis and directly gave the New Orleans Saints a first down. The New Orleans Saints offensive team was able to directly enter the Los Angeles Rams red zone. Next, the New Orleans Saints scored three tries. opportunity.

Once a touchdown is scored, the score is "20:27", and the New Orleans Saints can grab the throat of fate.

However, there was no if, because there was no foul, so the New Orleans Saints struck out, the touchdown became a free kick, and the score became "20:23".

Later, Zurlein's free kick equalized the score.

The premise is that the yellow flag is a foul.

However, the referee turned a blind eye and did not make any penalty. Coleman successfully defended and Brees' pass was incomplete.

Then, there was overtime.

Then, there was the Los Angeles Rams' game-winner.

That scene shocked the entire league, because Coleman's illegal collision foul was so obvious that there was no room for controversy. It was a foul.

In fact, the league also realized that after the game, the league officials immediately issued an announcement admitting that it was a misjudgment.

But that's all. The league only admitted the misjudgment, but did not have any extra words. You must know that this was a misjudgment that changed the victory or defeat and changed history.

It wasn't until two weeks later, when the season was over, that the league belatedly issued a letter of apology for its misjudgment in the final moments of the National League finals.

It's too late.

A letter of apology cannot change any facts, and it cannot save Brees' career.

From all indications, this is the league manipulating the results of the game. They need a new idol. They need to establish the facade of Donald, so Brees and his New Orleans Saints became sacrifices. A clear foul can be ignored. So simple.

Although there's no proof, that's what New Orleans Saints fans believe.

In fact, not only New Orleans Saints fans, but many neutral fans also expressed the same view. No one likes an immoral victory.

No wonder after the game, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome went completely crazy and almost rioted——

"Thief!"

"fraud!"

"mouse!"

"You stole our victory!"

"Shame, your so-called victory is a shame! You should be ashamed of it!"

New Orleans Saints fans were outraged. The historical grudge between them and the Los Angeles Rams made the bitterness and anger at this moment even more intense. Seeing the Los Angeles Rams still celebrating their victory in their own back garden, the fans' bottom line of sanity Complete collapse.

Curses and abuses escalated into force in the blink of an eye.

Mineral water bottles, umbrellas, shoes, and cell phones all over the sky were thrown at the court. The Los Angeles Rams players could not continue to celebrate. Under the protection of security personnel, they left the court and returned to the locker room with their heads in their hands. They didn't even have time to breathe. He hurriedly got on the team bus and left the scene.

If they linger on, no one knows what will happen next.
