Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 266: 265 Avenger



Although the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans are not in the same division and do not have a long-standing historical rivalry, their fateful encounters in the past two seasons have created a tense atmosphere among the fans.

For the third consecutive season, the two teams have come across each other as rivals—

Because they were the top-ranked teams in their respective divisions last season, the rotation afterwards brought them face to face for the third year in a row, surprisingly.

This is not a common sight, yet it's precisely one of the critical highlights of the match.

Secondly, both teams entered the playoffs as division leaders last season and are strong contenders to make it again this season.

For the Kansas City Chiefs, this is the second time this season they face a team that made it to the playoffs last season, following the New England Patriots. The Chiefs, who have constantly been criticized and mocked as a "pseudo-strong team," once again face a key battle to prove themselves.

In fact, although the Houston Texans only have a record of two wins and two losses this season, their overwhelming victory against the Tennessee Titans last week, sweeping through the ranks, has been a hot topic of discussion across the league.

The Tennessee Titans had a record of two wins and one loss in the first three weeks, showing a commendable competitive state, only to be thoroughly crushed by the Houston Texans on their home ground, helplessly watching their opponents freely set a string of historical records, eventually losing with a humiliating score of "57:14," nailed to the pillar of shame.

The terrifying state that the Houston Texans showcased on both offense and defense has successfully sparked astonishment throughout the league, and naturally, the pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs has been mounting ever since. This will undoubtedly be a stern test.

Third, the talking points.

JJ Watt, the league's best defensive player in 2012, 2014, and 2015 and undoubtedly the league's top trending figure at present. If Brady is the league's number one, then Watt is first in popularity. This defensive player has completely overturned the "offense-centric" situation and has once again drawn attention to the defensive group's style.

His popularity is unparalleled for the time being.

As a Defensive End, Watt is the nightmare of quarterbacks and running backs, with his penetrating ability, tackling and sacking skills, and the threat and disruption he poses all top-notch. He is a player who can turn the situation around all by himself.

This year's draft was hailed as the year of the Defensive End, but including the top pick Garrett, they all look up to Watt's imposing presence.

Naturally, the matchup "Watt vs. Li Wei" has also forcefully made its presence felt.

Watt is Li Wei's first encounter with a truly superstar Defensive End, and this rookie Top Scholar's mettle will finally face a rigorous test.

Previously, whether it was Brady or Wentz, Li Wei and they were all part of the offensive group, without the chance for a direct face-off. Now, with Watt, this head-to-head matchup is enough to make the entire league's blood boil.

Whether supporters or detractors, everyone is looking forward to this confrontation.

In addition, there is one thing that no one should forget and that no one will forget:

At the beginning of the year, during the draft, the Houston Texans selected Clemson University quarterback DeShaun Watson with the twelfth overall pick.

"Crimson Tide Storm vs. Clemson."

"Li Wei vs. Watson."

The classic NCAA matchup from last season is about to be staged in the NFL just a turn of the head later.

During their two NCAA encounters, the "Pride of Heaven" Watson suffered defeats at the hands of Li Wei, the "Monkey King born from a stone crevice," especially the nationwide championship game that was absolutely heartbreaking.

Off the field, Watson was defeated twice by Li Wei in both the Heisman Trophy selection and the draft, holding back all the way until now.

Finally!

Watson's opportunity for revenge has finally arrived—

Could there be anything more perfect?

If, and this is just a hypothesis, if the Houston Texans defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, they would not only break the Chieftains' season-long winning streak but also shatter Li Wei's undefeated record spanning from college to professional play.

Was everything truly accomplished by DeShaun Watson's own hands?

Simply depicting the scene had the media collectively reaching a climax.

From all aspects, "Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans" was indeed a spotlight match, legitimately featured as the Sunday night game—

Those with keen interest wouldn't miss an important fact: this was the Kansas City Chiefs' third time on the night game stage this season, or to put it more precisely, Li Wei's third time.

On the NFL field, the atmosphere of night games is starkly different from non-night games.

Firstly, the temperature, wind direction, and touch are all different at night compared to daytime games.

Secondly, the atmosphere of broadcasting nationwide is also different, with over thirty million viewers watching live and over three hundred cameras capturing every angle.

Many players, usually dominant, turn into mere worms under the night game lights, their performances becoming unrecognizable—this is no strange phenomenon; they are what you'd call "A'Dou," unable to seize the opportunity even when it's handed to them.

However, as of now, Li Wei's performances in night games are even more outstanding, proving through action that he is indeed a player born for the big stage, no wonder the League dare to schedule so blatantly.

Yet again, the center of attention to tens of thousands.

This time, not only fans and professionals are watching, but the gazes of brand sponsors are all gathered, unleashing a blanket of pressure.

However!

The progress of the match was slightly different from what was expected.

It can't be said to be spectacular, nor can it be said to be lackluster, just... the process was full of ups and downs, constantly defying expectations, really testing one's heart, a slight lapse in attention and one might shock themselves— Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

Unable to keep up with the pace.

The kickoff.

In the first offensive wave, the "Li Wei vs Watt" matchup lived up to expectations.

Li Wei took the lead with successive feints that caused Watt to stumble and fumble, barely making an eleven-yard push, simultaneously igniting social media as it was rare to see a three-time League Defensive Player of the Year in such disarray.

Following that, Watt countered with an accurate and vicious tackle right at the scrimmage line to stop Li Wei, the solid sound of muscle colliding with muscle echoing throughout the stadium, Li Wei looking like a little chick in front of Watt.

Back and forth, neither giving way.

The game had only just begun, and the confrontation was already sparking, accelerating heartbeats.

Sadly, the good times didn't last long.

Again Li Wei, in an attempt to break free, made a quick stop and turn to shake off Watt who, unbelievably, managed to start a second time and just barely reached out to disrupt Li Wei's steps, destabilizing his balance, causing him to stumble forward, managing to advance only eight yards before falling into a surrounding close and hitting the ground.

The clash of titans once again failed to determine the victor, the confrontation remained tense.

However, Watt fell to the ground clutching his lower leg in that defensive move, unable to get up, eventually being carted off the field on a stretcher, causing the hearts of the Houston Texans' home crowd to sink heavily—

Last season, Watt had to declare an end to his season due to a herniated disc after playing only three games. Could it be the same this season as well?

Watt's injury was not clear at the moment, and the Houston Texans quickly announced that Watt could not return to the game, and a comprehensive hospital examination was needed for further details.

This became the first turning point of the game, with the Kansas City Chiefs quickly taking control.
