Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 262 261 Unstoppable

"Ah, such a pity. If we had tried a bit harder, we might have caught up to the Super Bowl," Li Wei said.

Li Wei's words took Berry by surprise.

Berry had not expected Li Wei to say something like that. He abruptly looked up and saw Li Wei revealing a smile.

"What, you don't believe it?"

Berry didn't speak, his expression frozen in place, his thoughts unable to keep up with the speed of Li Wei's brain.

Li Wei spread his hands. "How about we make a bet? I bet we can make it to the Super Bowl, but you won't be able to rejoin the team in time and will only be able to watch from the sidelines."

"After all, you are already twenty-eight years old, and your career is nearing its end. If you quit now, no one can say much …"

He couldn't finish his sentence.

Because Berry interrupted, "What if I rejoin the team, but the team doesn't make it to the Super Bowl?"

Li Wei didn't say a word, but after fumbling in his pocket, he revealed a smile and placed something on the shelf at the foot of the bed. "Then, this is yours."

A coin, twenty-five cents.

Berry looked at the coin intently for a long time, suddenly regaining his ambition, his smile blossoming as he laughed out loud.

"Haha, twenty-five cents, excellent, twenty-five cents."

"So, it's settled then. Remember, this coin is mine now, I have one hundred percent confidence."

Li Wei picked up the coin again, tossed it gently, caught it, and then flipped his hand to display the coin before him. "Then it is settled."

Outside the hospital room, Reed, who had been about to enter, stopped his steps. The worry in his brows gradually eased.

He knew that Li Wei was different. The future of the Kansas City Chiefs was slowly but surely resting on his shoulders, and from what could be seen, he was doing well.

Turning around, Reed clasped his hands behind his back and waddled away slowly, like a penguin.

...

The season-ending injury of Berry, the team's main safety, cast a shadow over the Kansas City Chiefs' three-game winning streak at the start of the season, subtly permeating feelings of unease.

The following week, in their fourth regular-season game, the Chiefs would return to Arrowhead Stadium to face a formidable challenge from the Washington Redskins of the National Conference East Division.

Last season, after painfully letting go of first-pick Robert Griffin III, the Redskins were widely expected to fall into chaos and hit rock bottom. After a brief turmoil among starting quarterbacks, no one expected that the Redskins would find a gem on their bench.

Since being selected by the Redskins as the 102nd pick in the fourth round in 2012, Kirk Cousins had been patiently sitting on the bench. However, amidst the team's chaos, he seized the opportunity, assumed the burden, and delivered a stunning season. Although the Redskins missed the playoffs by one game, Cousins was strongly selected for the Pro Bowl, causing the entire league to take notice.

This season, Cousins continued to hold his starting position, and he showed excellent form at the start of the season.

Currently, with a record of two wins and one loss, the Redskins, alongside their division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, were undoubtedly one of the dark horses of the season. Many professionals believed they had the potential to disrupt the standings and even make a strong push for the playoffs.

Facing the Chiefs was both a test for the Redskins and for Cousins.

Similarly, the Chiefs, having stumbled yet clenched their teeth to achieve a three-game winning streak, were also facing a challenge. Berry's season-ending injury was just the beginning.

The game, as expected—

The two teams entangled in both offense and defense, entering the fourth quarter with a score of "17:17."

In the decisive fourth quarter, the Redskins took the lead by scoring a field goal, seizing the advantage in the final stretch of the race.

However, at the crucial moment, Kelsey and Li Wei stepped up once again, completing three vital third-gear conversions in a row. They kept the Kansas City Chiefs alive, even though the team's Red Zone offense efficiency clearly faced obstacles, the home team still managed to score with field goals, forming a steady opposition.

In the final moments, the veteran lineman from the defensive group, Houston, sacked the visiting team's quarterback Cousins, caused a fumble, and immediately secured the ball possession, putting an end to the Washington Redskins' last attempt at a comeback.

"20:29".

It was the third time this season that the Kansas City Chiefs accomplished a fourth-quarter victory, struggling to maintain their undefeated record with four consecutive wins.

And!

With the Atlanta Falcons losing to the Buffalo Bills on the road this week, it meant that the Kansas City Chiefs became the last team in the League with a perfect record.

The only one.

Following the 2003, 2010, and 2013 seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs achieved this feat for the fourth time—becoming the last team in the league to maintain a perfect record, and it was Reed's second time under his command.

This scene was definitely unforeseen before the 2017 season kicked off.

Of course, controversy still buzzed.

For one, apart from the defending champions, the New England Patriots, the other three opponents of the Kansas City Chiefs were all teams that had not made the playoffs last season.

This also implies that the schedule was lighter, and naturally, the potency of the victories was less convincing.

Furthermore, in three of their four victories, the Kansas City Chiefs won in the fourth quarter; except for the struggling Los Angeles Chargers, the other three games were exceedingly close.

In the face of "less competitive" opponents, the victories were still so perilous and tough, making the so-called "Undefeated Golden Body" somewhat lacking in substance.

Led by Bart, the critical opinions steadfastly maintained that the Kansas City Chiefs are a "pseudo-strong team". Even after being proven wrong time and again, Bart stood tall, displaying an unbending and resolute stance, steadfastly standing on the opposite side of the majority opinion, even gaining a following.

In fact, Bart's opinions had a huge market; the victories of the Kansas City Chiefs indeed lacked persuasion, and it was commonly believed that the real test was yet to come.

However, controversy aside, a victory is still a victory—

Four wins out of four games, the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly led the entire league.

Undoubtedly, the voices praising Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs dominated.

Looking at it from another angle, despite the games being tough and the road bumpy, the Kansas City Chiefs clenched their teeth and won every game, indirectly proving their tenacity.

Perhaps, overwhelming and thrilling victories seem exhilarating; but real champions are often forged through countless hardships and challenges.

Teams that have it easy might crumble when facing real adversaries, while those tested early on are the ones that could last laugh in the cruel and harsh playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are on the right path.

Meanwhile, amidst all the praise and cheering, a storm centered around Li Wei was quietly brewing and quickly took over social media—

"Lucky Star".

Is Li Wei the real key behind the Kansas City Chiefs maintaining their undefeated record this season?

Here, it's not about Li Wei's strength—of course, strength plays a crucial role and is an indispensable foundation; but it's more about Li Wei's lucky aura.

Since his first official game representing Crimson Tide Storm last year, Li Wei has maintained an undefeated record, winning nineteen straight games, and he continues to accumulate more.

The real king of luck, in fact, is right here.
