When the Jacksonville Jaguars went to challenge the Pittsburgh Steelers on their home turf, the media and professionals overwhelmingly favored the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars had defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular season, they lacked a superstar player and had returned to the playoffs after a full nine years. Over the past two to three seasons, there had been no signs of a strong rise, and their advancement to the playoffs seemed more like luck. Their wild card victory over the Buffalo Bills was also unconvincing.
Moreover, the battle between the "The Wanfu Mary Combo" Smith and Li Wei and the iron triangle of the Pittsburgh Steelers was obviously more favorable for television ratings.
Naturally, the Pittsburgh Steelers received unanimous support.
Does this scene seem familiar?
In the first American League Divisional Round, the Kansas City Chiefs were treated the same way.
But then, the Kansas City Chiefs stunned everyone with a breathtaking upset over the New England Patriots, causing all of the media to bend the knee and sing their praises like fair-weather friends. What about the Jacksonville Jaguars?
The team's general manager, Caldwell, said with a laugh, "Heh, I still have a score to settle with Kansas concerning the draft."
Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars made their statement.
"45:42".
The underdogs triumphed once again, as the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second time that season, perfectly mirroring the Kansas City Chiefs' performance against the New England Patriots and pulling off a modest upset.
But the course was slightly different.
The Jacksonville Jaguars showed strength, and while people were expecting a tedious defensive battle, nobody anticipated that both teams, known for strong defensive performances throughout the season, would fall silent. Instead, the offensive groups stood up and took control of the game, engaging in an all-out offensive battle.
Among them, Fournette, the Jaguars' first-round fourth pick rookie running back, shone, excelling not only in rushing but also receiving, as if ready to compete with Li Wei. His athletic and powerful presence dominated the field, helping the visiting team achieve a "28:14" lead by halftime.
The Pittsburgh Steelers never gave up on the game, rallying back in the second half and narrowing the score to within three points with a touchdown during the two-minute warning.
However, the Jacksonville Jaguars disrupted the Steelers' gamble on a kick and held on to their victory with gritted teeth, ending the game.

Rushing for 109 yards, receiving 76 yards, with three touchdowns.
The rookie running back finally showed his mettle when it mattered most.
After the game, Fournette struggled to contain himself during an interview.
The air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The media exchanged glances: Li Wei? The player who had heart-stopping moments in wildcard and divisional rounds, pulling off game-winning plays at the last minute, "that catch" was definitely not just a result of help from talented teammates, Big Ben, are you sure?
But the media weren't about to enlighten Roethlisberger.
With a turn, the media then tossed Roethlisberger's words over to Li Wei.
And then, Li Wei uttered a classic quote that would be talked about all over the North American continent.
"It doesn't matter to me,"
"because I'm preparing for the upcoming American League championship game, while he is wearing his fancy Louis Vuitton outfits, holding a can of White-Claw, curled up in his boyfriend's arms on the couch, crying."
Firepower! Full blast!
White-Claw, a hard seltzer that's taken off at full speed in North America this year, is low in alcohol and similar to sparkling water, widely popular among girls.
Li Wei's face remained calm as he outlined a scene in a breezy tone. The reporters imagined it for a moment—the image of Roethlisberger's huge frame curled up in shyness and silently shedding tears—
Pfft.
But this time, no media dared to seek out Roethlisberger for a response: That would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's den.
So, no one knew how Roethlisberger reacted to this comeback, and it's likely nobody within the Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to know either.
Then, attention turned elsewhere.
The last wildcard game saw the New Orleans Saints going up against the Minnesota Vikings in an away game.
Wait, could it be Li Wei again?
Li Wei: Off duty, do not disturb.
Even though Li Wei is currently in high demand, with the NFL official backing him, a tiny spark could ignite a huge energy. But is it really necessary to involve Li Wei in everything? It's all over with the same name. Seriously, I'm going to throw up. Can't the media come up with some new tricks for making news?
But the problem is, this game really did have something to do with Li Wei.
Now Li Wei finally understood the exasperated sentiment once expressed by the diva Faye Wong:
My trouble? My trouble is that I'm too popular.
