Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1671 - 1670: Trembling with Fear

Silent as a chicken.

Looking across social networks, all is quiet, all noise, chaos, and curses seem to have suddenly vanished completely.

A heavy snow, a vast whiteness, all dirt and filth buried under the thick white snow, unseen and unmentioned.

Torrential rain. Snowstorm. Harsh weather. Home field advantage.

Logically speaking, this should be the environment where the Buffalo Bills excel and feel most familiar, as they always manage to perform at the top level in such poor weather, even taking down peak-era New England Patriots without breaking a sweat, this is their confidence and pride.

Yet tonight, the Buffalo Bills seem lost in the pouring rain.

First breaking their preparation plan, with the game moved to Thursday night; then facing the endless rain, the game almost canceled; followed by Li Wei’s opening blitz.

One wave after another, the young Buffalo Bills are dizzy, their heads buzzing, breathing irregular, heartbeat out of sync, completely confused.

No doubt, things are vastly different from the imagined scenario.

But the main point is that breakthrough, surprise, and incidents are fair. It’s true for the Buffalo Bills and equally for the Kansas City Chiefs.

That’s part of the game.

Now let’s see who can find their footing first, enter the state, and seize the initiative amidst the chaos and turbulence.

It’s a shame for the young Buffalo Bills, they lack experience.

Under the overwhelming attention and expectations across the league, the immature young players have already lost their footing and mental balance, suffering a crushing defeat against the Tennessee Titans last week; now again facing sudden situations, they become flustered, losing focus and unable to grasp their center, fully caught in the storm.

What’s worse and unfortunate is standing across the field is Li Wei. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A Li Wei who is raring to go and fully upgraded, backed by the entire Kansas City, and seeing red.

"Modern exterior offensive system!"

"Mahomes? Li Wei?"

"Li Wei!"

"Left side! Li Wei breaks through from the left this time!"

"The Buffalo Bills are mentally prepared, Defensive End Jerry Hughes is footed correctly and reacts promptly, starting ahead."

"Leap! Tackle! Impact!"

"Li Wei! Sudden stop and turn! Change of direction! Beautiful! Li Wei brakes urgently to miss the position, Hughes directly misses the leap, Li Wei slips through the line gap."

"Three-man encircle!"

"No, four-man! Buffalo Bills Defense finally reacts, accurately predicts Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive tactics and completes the encirclement in time."

"Li Wei! Caught in the encirclement! Caught in the tackle!"

"But Li Wei doesn’t give up, Li Wei keeps fighting, Li Wei keeps pushing!"

"Mahomes comes to help! Hill and Watkins come to help! The whole Kansas City Chiefs Offensive unit swarms to push Li Wei forward."

"Unbelievable!"

"Eight yards!"

"Faced with the encirclement and interception dilemma, Kansas City Chiefs ground push forcibly gains eight yards again! Buffalo Bills Defense is completely dumbfounded."

"Can’t stop, completely can’t stop."

"What should Buffalo Bills Defense do? What else can they do?"

...

"Snap!"

"Mahomes and Li Wei complete a handoff, still running the ball."

"With Mahomes failing two consecutive passes, the impact of the torrential rain on the pass is obvious, Kansas City Chiefs have to revert to ground play."

"Li Wei, ready to run."

"Wait, oh, wait..."

"God!"

"Li Wei and Mahomes complete a cross swap, Li Wei prepares to pass!"

"’Chiefs Special’! Yet another ’Chiefs Special’!"

"Kansas City Chiefs actually choose to pass! Buffalo Bills Defense fully presses up, leaving the backfield empty, pass defense rendered useless, unable to keep pace."

"Buffalo Bills Defensive line and linemen are trying to sack, desperate, now the young Buffalo Bills have no other choices."

"Li Wei!"

"Beautiful, a step back, pass!"

"Pass target is... Travis Kelce!"

"Kelce! Brilliant route running! An outward fake successfully deceives the opponent, then pulls inward, crossing the field to make the reception."

"Five-yard short pass only!"

"In the rainstorm, Li Wei and Kelce complete this wonderful connection, Kelce securely brings the football into his arms, turns, and keeps pushing forward."

"First down! Kansas City Chiefs easily clinch the first down, but Kelce continues pushing, Buffalo Bills Defensive secondary is out of reach, the heavy rain blurs the vision, Safety and Cornerback fail to see Li Wei’s passing route, they still struggle to determine who caught the pass."

"Unbelievable, to Buffalo Bills, everything is a disaster."

Then!

"Touchdown!"

"Kelce turns the five-yard short pass into a twenty-seven-yard long sprint for a touchdown, securing another touchdown for Kansas City Chiefs, further expanding the lead."

"Wow, who would have thought, ’Chiefs Special,’ we actually witness ’Chiefs Special’ amidst the rain, quarterback Li Wei appears again to control the situation."

"From Mahomes to Li Wei, Kansas City Chiefs’ passing offense presents a variety, seemingly thrilling but carefully calculated, once more destroying the Buffalo Bills."

"The young Buffalo Bills can’t keep up with the pace, completely can’t keep up, not only competitively but their brain processing speed as well, now Buffalo Bills Defense finds themselves helplessly overwhelmed, they must rely all hopes on Josh Allen’s shoulders."

"Josh Allen needs to deliver a top-tier performance to prove himself, extending a chance for this game, or else, the three-time defending champions won’t continue to give chances."

"But..."

Exchange glances in the live studio, no need for words to know, Kansas City Chiefs Defense becomes the focus.

Or put it another way, JJ-Watt.

In the shocking loss to Las Vegas Raiders, although the focus was all on Li Wei, professionals could see Kansas City Chiefs Defense did not perform well, the Offensive group kept the suspense of the game till the last moment, unfortunately, the Defense group dropped the ball.

It’s not blaming Watt, as Kansas City Chiefs Defense is still young, continuous adjustments during the offseason, both personnel setup and tactical arrangement reflect this, it’s normal for them to have fluctuating performance; instead, it’s about Watt’s role, Kansas City Chiefs brought in Watt with hopes to bring change to the Defense.

Whether in a personal capacity or as a leader in a tactical role, the energy Watt can inject into the young Defense is worth expecting.

Those online commentators and media attempting to sow discord and kick them when down, putting the blame for the loss on Watt, that’s unfair, professionals won’t make such mistakes; but it cannot be denied, in crisis, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense indeed needs Watt and Chris Jones to step up.

Facing the Buffalo Bills, Li Wei has his battle, Watt equally has his own.

Some say, players of Li Wei and Watt’s caliber and standing, no longer need to prove themselves, right?

Indeed, that’s an ideal state; but real life rarely is, even Li Wei and Watt need to continually prove themselves, even Brady is no exception, or else they face being retired, being eliminated, being forgotten, the world of competitive sports holds no mercy.
