Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 245: 244 Cut Off Breathing

Bart, hold your breath—

He certainly knew that even if the Philadelphia Eagles secured the onside kick, it did not mean a reversal, but at least it meant that Wentz had a chance to win the Wanfu Mary. From the previous offensive, Wentz, who entered "God Mode", certainly had a chance. Find your next read on empire

The premise of everything was that the Philadelphia Eagles could secure the ball from the onside kick.

Intently focused, even momentarily forgetting to breathe.

Beautiful!

Bart saw Elliott’s onside kick and couldn’t help but clench his fist in silent praise. If this fifth-round show kicker could embarrass that number twenty-three Top Scholar, the post-game press conference would likely be very interesting.

But the shout did not come out loud, and his gaze followed the football as it rolled away.

Ahora!

Ahora secured the ball, and Bart felt his heart leap into his throat, joy and happiness exploding, his fists clenched high above his head—

Oh yeah.

The cheer had just burst from his throat when he stiffened, frozen in place like he’d fallen into an ice cellar, his breathing cut off and his brain blank, with only one thought:

Shit.

Next, the live broadcast from the Arrowhead Stadium blared with Pash’s hoarse, irrational cheers mixed with the red surge of the Kansas City Chiefs overwhelming the screen, crashing down relentlessly.

"Ahora!"

"Ahora!"

"Oh, God, Li Wei!"

"Li Wei snatched it from the jaws of death, securing the football just before Ahora could take control."

"Li Wei! Li Wei! Li Wei!"

On the screen, the action flashed by, Li Wei seeming to control the football yet not quite, as immediately after, players from both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs piled on like dumplings, burying Li Wei and Ahora under a swarm of bodies.

One after another.

Quickly amassing into a mountain of flesh.

The ESPN studio in New York also fell into a dead silence, no one even noticing Bart who had sprung up and was shouting at the screen, as everyone held their breath, staring at the screen, waiting for the referees to clear the scene.

Meanwhile, in the frontline broadcast room, Pash began to watch the replay.

"Incredible!"

"Philadelphia Eagles’ gamble on a kick failed, Kansas City Chiefs defeat Philadelphia Eagles to secure a season double win; the final score ’20:27,’ Kansas City Chiefs win a critically important and particularly difficult match."

"Wow."

"I mean, wow, awesome! From a defensive battle in the first half to an offensive frenzy in the second, both teams showcased their all-around abilities to the audience. It wouldn’t be surprising to see both teams in the playoffs, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory in this tough game also proves their mettle."

"Hey, all those haters in the league should change their bias and start acknowledging that this year, the Kansas City Chiefs are not just participating, absolutely not."

Bart: Hey, why are you all looking at me? Don’t look, none of you should look, you pack of jackals! I’m not Little Red Riding Hood seeing ghosts!

The match between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was unpredictable from the start, through the process, and likewise, the result—

Last season, both teams disappointed in different ways, and their off-season moves left league experts baffled:

Philadelphia Eagles actually strengthened their defense? Kansas City Chiefs actually chose two running backs?

However, two weeks into the season, the state and energy displayed by these two teams had everyone taking notice and gathering focus.

So, what now?

Especially Li Wei.

When people discuss running backs, even excellent statistics do not necessarily mean a running back is outstanding; an important reason is the protection provided by the offensive line.

A team with a top-tier ground attack can never overlook the importance of the offensive line; no need to go back in history, as last season, New England Patriots’ running back Blount exemplifies this.

Last season, New England Patriots had a Pro Bowl level offensive line, so Blount, who entered the league as an undrafted rookie and didn’t make a notable impact early in his career, surprisingly became the league’s leading rusher, highlighting the importance of the offensive line.

This concept is akin to system players in soccer.

Indeed, the Crimson Tide Storm is no different.

Thus, when Li Wei declared for the draft, one major concern among insiders was, could Li Wei, separated from Saban, possibly turn into a fish headed for the desert?

Now, just two games in, Li Wei, not just once, but in situations where the offensive line couldn’t handle the pressure, has relied on his personal skill to solve problems, not just his skill but also his game intelligence, making him key in altering the game’s dynamics for the Kansas City Chiefs for two consecutive weeks.

Without a doubt, Li Wei has proven himself.

No wonder more and more fans and professionals alike are starting to acknowledge that Li Wei is another Peterson.

In response, Lawson agreed and looked forward to seeing more in Li Wei.

Then.

Lawson looked at Bart, "Blair, what do you think?"
