Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1065 - 1064 Cutting melons and chopping vegetables

Grasping the ground, passing encounters challenges, this was anticipated by Patricia.

However, the pass was not caught, and the ground defense could not hold for long. In the intense clash, the Detroit Lions’ defensive group was like a leaf in a hurricane, shattered and trembling, which Patricia had not foreseen.

Standing on the sideline, Patricia kept trying to recall Belichick’s stance—

When plans A, B, and C all fail, what should they do?

Go back to plan A, or try plan D? Patricia just couldn’t remember.

In Foxborough, Belichick always stood calmly on the sidelines, facing the storm with a poker face, which seemed effortless to Patricia, just wear the poker face mask.

But now it was Patricia’s turn, stepping just a half step forward from the Defensive Coordinator position to the head coach’s spot near the sideline, he found things were completely different from his imagination.

The poker face mask was on, but his mind was still a mess.

"Li Wei holds the ball."

"Li Wei is shifting, Li Wei is observing, beautiful! Li Wei breaks free with an agile stop and turn, like a Marseille Turn, effortlessly dodging."

"Li Wei is advancing."

Patricia: Damn, stop him, you guys stop him right away!

"Li Wei! Unbelievable! Breaks free again!"

"God, Li Wei seems to sense the fear on his opponents, calmly and ruthlessly seizing the gap to break through, leaving no chance for the opponents, completing the crush and breakthrough with absolute strength."

"Li Wei, like a Dementor, now the Detroit Lions’ defensive group is in complete chaos."

Patricia: Get yourselves together, damn it, what are you all doing? Get a grip, he’s just one person, you can drown him with your numbers, what are you doing now?"

"Twenty yards!"

"Twenty-five yards!"

"Thirty yards!"

"Li Wei, unstoppable!"

"Thirty-five yards!"

"Direct breakthrough, strong advance!"

"Touchdown!"

"Li Wei, touchdown!"

"Touch ooouuuuuuuch dooooown!"

Patricia: ... Damn.

Couldn’t stop him.

In the end, still couldn’t stop him.

Patricia was still thinking, stop Li Wei, then rely on passing offense and defense to decide the outcome, but couldn’t stop the pass, and couldn’t stop the ground either.

More absurd and ridiculous, the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t even use "Cheating Motion," just a little trial with the Read Option Offense and the Detroit Lions’ adamant determination crumbled.

Patricia felt a chill in his heart, stunned for a moment—

He wasn’t lying, before the game, he sincerely believed the Detroit Lions could defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, it wasn’t psychological tactics.

But this was the result?

In a mere two-year professional career, Li Wei had seen his opponents collapse, but it was the first time he had made the opposing head coach collapse mentally.

"49:10."

The Kansas City Chiefs swept early into garbage time, even the Detroit Lions were completely dazed, sleepwalking in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Patricia tried to rally, trying to face the crisis, regroup, and treat setbacks and hardships as valuable growth experiences, however—

Failed.

After a cheerful start of two wins and one draw ignited hope in Detroit, full of confidence but met with a devastating blow by the Kansas City Chiefs, Patricia and the Detroit Lions were dizzy and lost confidence.

The rest of the season, only one pitiful win from twelve games, even though the quarterback Stafford’s season-ending injury in the tenth week of regular season was a major reason, but before Stafford’s injury, the Detroit Lions’ season was already over.

Completely, inside and out, they lost everything in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

This scene, Li Wei did not expect—

How did he know Patricia would crumble so easily?

Look at the Indianapolis Colts, before the regular season opener, the main quarterback announced retirement two weeks before, waving sleeves without taking away a cloud, leaving a mess behind casually, but the Colts still gathered their spirits, quickly returning to normal tracks.

After backup quarterback Brissett hastily took over the Offensive group command, the Colts managed a stable start amid chaos—

Two wins and two losses in the first four weeks.

Not outstanding, but at least not collapsing as feared.

And in adversity, the Colts demonstrated an indomitable spirit, the greater the challenge, the more they needed to go all out to prove themselves, refusing to be defeated by difficulties.

In the fifth week of the regular season, facing the Kansas City Chiefs who defeated them in last season’s divisional game, the Colts did not boast but proved their determination through actions.

Undoubtedly, the Colts played their best game yet this new season, especially the defensive group, fighting fiercely.

Tactics?

Nothing special, just not giving an inch, fighting to the end.

From the line confrontation, the Colts continually applied pressure, layer upon layer, maintaining intensity.

Whether it’s Li Wei or Kelsey, or even Mahomes holding the ball himself, they can connect offensively but find further advance very difficult.

Including Li Wei, it was hard to gain large yardage, facing layer upon layer of defense, it felt like facing the 2017 season Pittsburgh Steelers, barely making progress.

Nonetheless, the Kansas City Chiefs still showed their foundation, maintaining a lead throughout the game—

The advantage was small, the score gap always tight, continuing into the fourth quarter’s end; yet the Chiefs held onto their lead.

"19:13."

The Kansas City Chiefs chewed down the tough bone, defeating the Indianapolis Colts without their core leading player, welcoming a five-game winning streak at the season start.

Strong momentum, consecutive wins!

From a winless preseason to a five-game winning streak in the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs once again delivered surprises, a blitzkrieg sweeping through five consecutive wins, showing dominance again and announcing their confidence in pursuing a three-peat.

The Indianapolis Colts, though defeated, were honorable in defeat.

Postgame, countless experts believed it was the most exciting game since the 2019 season, not only because the Colts significantly restricted the Chiefs’ unparalleled Offensive group but also because of the Colts’ demonstrated character and resolve.

It proved that the Chiefs were not invincible, the Colts pushed the defending champions to an extreme, seemingly needing just a little more force for the Chiefs’ weakness to appear, the outcome teetering at the last moment possibly being overturned.

Maybe the next game?

Houston Texans.

No need for deliberate embellishment, the entire League was already abuzz with excitement—

"Watson VS Li Wei," the 2016 NCAA Heisman Trophy rematch.

"Watt VS Li Wei," the former League’s top defender versus the current League’s top attacker.

Although not as much hype as the Baltimore Ravens, it seems the Houston Texans are now the most likely team to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs.

Maybe the Houston Texans can deliver a surprise?
