Dominate the Super Bowl

With old grudges and playoff stakes all stacked together, the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders escalated to a whole new level of intensity.

From players to coaches to fans, tension permeated throughout, and even within the "League" one could feel the spread of this spark.

Before the season started, no one had anticipated that the Kansas City Chiefs would lead with six consecutive wins; likewise, no one had foreseen that the Chiefs would find themselves in such a predicament, facing do-or-die battles with four games left in the season and every game being a matter of life and death, where any tiny mistake could ruin a year's efforts.

Pressure was mounting, layer upon layer.

So, how did professionals analyze and view this?

The chatter was incessant.

This time, the support for the Oakland Raiders slightly outweighed, not only because the Raiders had defeated the Chiefs in their encounter a month ago but also because dropping the ball in critical moments had seemingly become a habitual failing of the Chiefs in recent seasons.

From various indicators, it was evident that the Chiefs were indeed on the brink of a precipice.

Even Lawson admitted it was hard, unimaginably difficult, as mountains laden in the Chiefs' path to victory, with advantages now slightly leaning towards the Raiders.

But—

"Blair, you seem unusually quiet today, not like yourself at all. So, what do you think?"

The host Crosby noticed the anomaly and keenly seized on it.

In an instant, all eyes turbulently turned towards Bart.

Bart: …

It was really tough for him.

Bart was also struggling internally, as the progress of this season was… beyond words.

In the first six weeks, his left cheek had swollen from a fierce tempest; who could have imagined that in the following six weeks, he would obediently offer his right cheek to continue enduring the beating.

He now looked like a pig's head.

So, what to do?

Continue to believe in the Kansas City Chiefs? Or more precisely, continue to believe in Li Wei? Believe that they can turn the tables against the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium?

It was a tough call.

In fact, Bart had no bias against Li Wei, he truly vowed he didn't. His critique towards Li Wei was purely because Goodell had hurried to promote Li Wei for marketing purposes, even rushing to shape him into the face of the League—

What a joke.

The rookie hadn't even played a full season yet, let alone earned any significant accolades. Few American League Player of the Week titles and Rookie of the Week titles were hardly enough to prove anything, yet he became the "face" of the League?

Huh.

So, since Li Wei bore the glory of being the face, he naturally had to face the pressure that comes with it.

It was that simple.

So, what about now?

As the season progressed, just as expected, the focus on the rookie began to cool down. The League's thirty-two teams really had too many other focal points. Moreover, as the competition for playoff spots grew fiercer, attention gradually focused more on the outcomes of the games themselves. So, what stance did he maintain?

Taking a deep breath—

Bart admitted that he had no prejudice against Li Wei, but he really didn't like rookies. Having been embarrassed by Li Wei so many times, he couldn't possibly like him. The truth was that he simply couldn't stand him.

"I believe the victory will belong to the Oakland Raiders."

Bart finally spoke up.

After laying the groundwork with a lot of discussion ranging from the offense to the defense and from tactical analysis to the lineup, Bart finally got to the point.

"For both teams, offensive efficiency will be the key to determining the outcome. From the current situation, both quarterbacks, Smith and Carl, are in good form, although they have experienced some fluctuations as the season has progressed."

"Of course, that's normal."

"So, when the quarterbacks experience fluctuations, how to utilize the ground game to relieve the passing pressure, and how to adjust tactics to create space for the quarterbacks becomes the task for the coaching teams of both teams."

"As of now, Todd Downing has done well, hence they have achieved three wins and two losses in the past five games; while Matt Nagy still needs to work hard, otherwise the Chieftain's losing streak may be unstoppable."

It's worth mentioning that both the head coaches of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders are not responsible for calling tactics during the game. Reed is due to his lack of quick adaptability on the spot, while Jack Del Rio comes from a defensive background and is not proficient in arranging offensive strategies.

Therefore, both teams have their offensive coordinators calling the plays on site.

Even though Bart didn't name names, the host Crosby still figured it out, "Blair, do you mean you have lost confidence in Li Wei?"

Bart didn't deny it but switched his emphasis, "Rather than saying I've lost confidence in Li Wei, I'd say I'm looking forward more to Lynch's performance."

The starting running back for the Oakland Raiders is indeed "Beast Mode" Marshawn Lynch.

Although he announced his retirement last season, rumors about Lynch coming out of retirement persisted during the offseason and finally, just before the draft, Lynch announced his decision—

He would come out of retirement to join his hometown team, the Oakland Raiders.

Since Lynch's contract with the Seattle Seahawks was valid through 2017, after coming out of retirement he was still a Seahawk player; eventually, the Oakland Raiders acquired Lynch through a trade involving draft picks.

Lynch was born in Oakland and had aspired to be a professional football player since he was twelve years old. For college, he chose the University of California, Berkeley, just a fifteen-minute drive from Oakland, which says a lot about his attachment to the Raiders.

Naturally, Lynch does not like the Kansas City Chiefs.

The last time the two teams faced each other, Lynch didn't get to showcase much because, during an offensive play in the first half, he argued with the referee over a call, which escalated into a physical altercation.

In soccer, there are yellow and red cards, but in football, there aren't such rules; there are only yellow flag penalties, generally, players aren't ejected from the game, but there are exceptions occasionally.

Like Lynch, who had a physical altercation with a referee and was directly ejected from the game; and he faced a fine imposed by the League after the match.

So, Lynch had little to no playtime.

In the upcoming game, Lynch will once again play for the Oakland Raiders and as Bart said, Lynch's performance is also a highlight to watch.

Following Bell, Li Wei and another top running back in the League will compete in the same game.

As he spoke, Bart also regained his confidence.

"I trust in Lynch and I trust the Oakland Raiders."

"Del Rio's team will try to sweep their division rivals for the season and kick them out of the playoff competition, I believe they will win."

This season, the confidently rising "Football Bailey" made a definitive declaration again after a full six weeks, once again standing opposite the Kansas City Chiefs, cautiously holding up the banner of a "Li Wei hater," heralding a strong comeback.

Upon hearing this, the Kansas City Chiefs fans collectively sighed in relief:

It's stable!
