Chapter 1089 Gloating over misfortune
“Mahomes needs to leave the field for examination and it is not yet certain when he will return.”

“From the situation at the scene, Mahomes was unable to stand up on his own. His right leg was completely powerless. He leaned on Levi and got on the electric car with Levi’s help.”

“The situation is not good.”

“This unexpected situation has completely disrupted the game plans of both teams and is a test for both coaches LaFleur and Reid.”

“It’s definitely not the blueprint they saw before the game; but now that the situation has changed, they have to adjust and re-plan their game plan.”

The live broadcast room seemed a little chaotic and a little lost.

Before the game, all the attention was focused on “Mahomes vs. Rogers”. The atmosphere was already so high, but the result was like this?
For the fans and spectators, they are regretful, depressed and even angry. The fundamental reason is that they missed the chance to witness the powerful collision between the two top quarterbacks; they missed the opportunity. If they want to see the confrontation between Rodgers and Mahomes again, it will either be in the Super Bowl or four years later.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not something that can be achieved in the short term, which is bound to be frustrating.

The higher the expectations built up before, the greater the disappointment and depression at this moment, and the social networks are bustling with chaos.

However, for players and teams, the last thing they need to worry about at this moment is ratings.

The complaints of the group of onlookers are definitely not the first image that comes to their minds now. There are more serious and more urgent problems before them.

Mahomes’ unexpected injury not only disrupted the layout of this game, but also completely overturned the season plan of the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Things suddenly became unclear——

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

It is not limited to this game, but may even affect the entire season.

At this moment, one can clearly feel the seismic reaction of the entire alliance.

Mahomes’ injury may be the best chance to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, not only in this game against the Green Bay Packers, but also in the next few games. It may even disrupt the rhythm of the Kansas City Chiefs. Even if Mahomes returns from injury, he may not be able to get back on track to victory.

This is not alarmist.

Many teams in the league have faced such a test, including the four elite quarterbacks who have all experienced injuries and missed multiple games. When they return to the field, the situation may be completely different.

At this point, some people might say, Kansas City Chiefs team leader Levi is still there, isn’t he?

It is true that when Levi is on the field, he can play the role of a stabilizing force to stabilize the situation; but a running back is still a running back after all, he cannot play the role of the hub of the team like a quarterback.

In the past two seasons, Levi has been able to express himself without scruples, realize his talent, and sweep away thousands of enemies; a very key factor is that he has a reliable quarterback partner.

There is Alex Smith in front and Patrick Mahomes in the back.

Their stability and strength ensure the team’s threat in passing the ball, which is the backing that allows Levi to do whatever he wants on the ground and fully display himself.

But now, Levi is alone.

Not only Levi, but also Hill, Kelce and other weapons are all lacking in ammunition supply. The Kansas City Chiefs’ smooth offense will inevitably encounter a head-on collision and all the chains will fall apart.

The quarterback is the starting point of football offense. He is not only the brain but also the engine. This is determined by the position and rules, which give the quarterback a special status.

At this time, the Kansas Chiefs were really feeling the impact and impact of this incident.

The problem is extremely serious.

At the first moment, not only LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers realized this, but senior coaches of direct competitors such as the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints, etc. also smelled the opportunity – the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs exposed their shortcomings at an unexpected time, and their comprehensive strength that has been fully upgraded and continuously transformed this season has encountered a crucial turning point, and now they are in trouble.

The opportunity is here!
Unless Mahomes is not seriously injured and returns immediately in this game, the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to gain a foothold; otherwise, the defending champions may really expose cracks.

The entire league was in an uproar, and overwhelming pressure was pouring towards Arrowhead Stadium and being vented like never before.

The world is roaring.

Team managers, head coaches, and players all turned their attention. This was the first time the league truly experienced the influence of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Every move attracts attention.

After winning the Super Bowl for two consecutive years and starting the new season with seven consecutive wins, the Kansas City Chiefs have undoubtedly become the target that everyone wants to defeat. No matter how those trolls defend or attack, at this moment, looking at the reaction of the entire league, one can feel the presence of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Even the trolls themselves are unaware that their revelry, their cursing, and their gloating just prove their fear of the Kansas Chief. They even have to pray for injuries and accidents because this is the only possibility of stopping the Kansas Chief. Their hideous faces have long exposed the cruel fact that they are actually speaking one thing and doing another.

There are no exceptions throughout the alliance.

On the one hand, keep a close eye on Mahomes’ injury status, which is a potential turning point in the season.

On the other hand, keep a close eye on the Kansas City Chiefs’ response –

Facing an undefeated team like the Green Bay Packers and the terrible situation of Mahomes’ unexpected absence, the Kansas City Chiefs’ response and adjustment are the absolute focus.

Regardless of the outcome, the state and performance of the Kansas City Chiefs in the next game are crucial to other teams in the league.

The level of attention for the Sunday night game in the eighth week of the regular season has increased instead of decreased.

On social networks, trolls began to add insult to injury, saying that the league needed to worry about ratings and used all kinds of dirty words to attack the Kansas City Chiefs.

But what about reality?

According to Nielsen ratings, after Mahomes left the field, the number of viewers and ratings of this night game began to rise inexplicably.

The trolls: ???

Goodell was not surprised at all.

Whether they admit it or not, in the eyes of the general public, the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are already a strong team. Even when facing the Green Bay Packers, they still have a slight advantage. It is not news that the Kansas City Chiefs continue to win.

Losing is.

Now, Mahomes was injured and left the field unexpectedly, the Kansas City Chiefs’ strength was weakened, the Green Bay Packers’ chances increased, and the suspense of the game returned. The Green Bay Packers, with Rogers, are fully capable of defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, and the excitement and beauty of the confrontation are back.

The audience is curious and looking forward to the two teams creating sparks.

This is a crisis, an undoubted crisis. For the Kansas City Chiefs, it may be the most severe test in three seasons.

Now, the first question facing us is:

With Mahomes out, who will be the Kansas City Chiefs’ backup quarterback?
