Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1069 - 1068 Treat According to the Symptoms

"23:17," halftime.

Before the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans game, people probably didn’t anticipate this scene. Although the Houston Texans were only leading by one possession, a one-possession lead is still a lead.

And it’s at Arrowhead Stadium.

Undoubtedly, the Houston Texans sparked a widespread debate both inside and outside the league. During halftime, the frenzy on social media spread like wildfire.

"Watt makes a king’s return!"

"JJ Watt: The big boss is still the big boss."

"Facing Li Wei, Watt unleashed 200% energy."

"My apologies, it turns out this is the legendary JJ Watt."

"’Watt VS Li Wei,’ it didn’t disappoint!"

Tumultuous and overwhelming, the social media storm raged with updates flowing at a rate of 5,000 per second, as the NFL once again dominated the trending topics list.

Interestingly, it wasn’t even a night game, just a regular Sunday match, and even the NFL didn’t anticipate the explosive energy that Watt and Li Wei would create together.

Goodell saw it all.

In recent years, Aaron Donald’s full emergence, along with Los Angeles’s huge market potential, had kept the league focused on Donald.

Last season, Donald and the Los Angeles Rams successfully made it to the Super Bowl, yet the Los Angeles viewership didn’t explode as expected—

The potential of tapping into the Los Angeles football market remains a formidable task.

As of now, the impactful showdown between Watt and Li Wei sparked new ideas for Goodell. As a former face of the league, Watt’s leadership qualities undoubtedly carry strong appeal. In some ways, Watt’s market value surpasses Donald’s, and it remains so.

The biggest question is whether the Houston Texans can carry the hopes, not only making it into the playoffs but also being more competitive in the playoffs?

Can Watson withstand the pressure and show off his superstar potential?

Worth watching.

For now, the second half of the game is a test—

Everyone knows the Kansas City Chiefs’ tenacity and resilience. They are certainly not invincible, but any team that wishes to beat them usually has to pay a huge price and fight until the very last moment, which is the most terrifying aspect of this Kansas City Chiefs.

If the Houston Texans think the Kansas City Chiefs will hang their heads in defeat in the second half, then they are destined to not become a strong team, as there’s still a trace of hope in their hearts that their opponent will wave the white flag.

The facts proved that the Kansas City Chiefs are as resilient as ever.

After the halftime break, the Kansas City Chiefs sounded the counterattack horn.

Just as people ask how to defend Li Wei against the Kansas City Chiefs, they must also face the question: how to confront Watt against the Houston Texans?

Judging from the states and trajectories of the past two seasons, continuous injuries are indeed destroying Watt’s games, often making it hard for him to maintain a full-game dominance, as both his impact and influence are waning.

By common sense, Watt, who unleashed his energy in the second quarter, might find it hard to sustain in the second half.

But Reed isn’t taking any risks—

Whether it’s Li Wei or Watt, never underestimate these elite level players, as their fighting spirit and resilience transcend physical existence.

Today, Watt displayed a godlike state in the second quarter, so Reed must assume that Watt’s godlike state can last until the final stages of the match.

So, how should the Kansas City Chiefs respond to Watt?

In the second quarter, the Houston Texans’ defensive group performed well, and it was certainly not just Watt alone. Mahomes’ passing success rate dropped below 50%, which was not just the merit of one man. The Kansas City Chiefs must acknowledge the opponent’s deep research and exploration of their offensive systems.

In the NFL, no tactic remains secret once it’s out in the open.

Of course, the most crucial part remains Watt, as his coverage and impact across the field play a role in linking and unleashing the Houston Texans’ defensive group’s potential. Last season, the Houston Texans were a proud number three seed in the American League, which was definitely more than just luck.

Lastly, the Kansas City Chiefs’ proud offensive system was swept into the storm named "Watt," losing direction.

Naturally, if the Kansas City Chiefs attempt to escape the predicament, they cannot only focus on Watt, but they must also start from Watt.

Reed, with another unexpected move—

"Li Wei VS Watt."

In the literal sense.

Reed took an unorthodox approach, using the defensive group’s man-to-man tactic, with Li Wei taking on Watt, sacrificing a running back to turn the situation around.

The heavy responsibility fell entirely on Li Wei.

Thus, the scene that unfolded on the field was inconceivable, leaving everyone astounded.

Watt made a rush, Li Wei stepped forward to face him. Although in terms of strength and confrontation, Li Wei was not on the same level as Watt, at least Li Wei could hold his position, buying Mahomes some time, and the situation changed instantly.

Watt defended the ground, and Li Wei sacrificed himself to protect Damien, preemptively setting the position, buying Damien time to break through Watt’s interception.

Watt assisted against short passes, as Li Wei charged forward to disrupt, like patching holes, consistently interfering with Watt’s defensive intents, disrupting the Houston Texans’ defensive alignment.

Initially, Li Wei was supposed to attack, Watt to defend; but now the positions were strangely reversed, evolving into Watt attacking, Li Wei defending—

Everyone was left dumbfounded: Football, can it really be played like this?

In the second quarter, Watt played as a lineman, relying on his awareness and intelligence to read, then making destruction through keen judgment and precise action, fully covering from Mahomes to Li Wei and onto Kelsey, that strong yet agile figure was essentially omnipresent.

Now, Reed responds accordingly, by having Li Wei take on Watt directly.

Of course, Reed chose Li Wei not for a simple one-on-one affair, but also using Li Wei’s reading and judgment in defense to counteract.

Additionally, a very important point is the synergy between Li Wei and Mahomes. Mahomes trusts Li Wei and can make judgments based on Li Wei’s reactions, adjusting tactics at any time, relying on their collaboration to open up the game.

This was a new attempt, but it also showed Reed’s trust in Li Wei.

Thus, the unthinkable scene unfolded—

Starting, sprinting, abrupt stops and turns, changing directions.

Generally, this series of actions should belong to Li Wei, but now it was Watt executing it, while the ever-present, impossible-to-shake-off shadow was Li Wei.

Watt made a sudden stop, trying a feint move.

However, Li Wei wasn’t fooled at all, taking the step smoothly and fiercely crashing into Watt’s shoulder.

Li Wei knew his power wasn’t enough to sway Watt, so he intentionally shifted positions, using a shoulder-to-shoulder collision, leveraging inertia and speed to disrupt Watt’s balance, then seamlessly bulldozing over Watt.

Comparable to stick to skin.

And with that brief entanglement, Mahomes had already found an open spot.

Watt watched helplessly as the football sailed over his head, finding Kelsey and completing the connection.

Kelsey, relying on a matchup advantage, bulldozed over the cornerback and bolted forward.

Watt:...Damn, you got guts, Travis, you should line up against me!
