Chapter 1100 Core Character
Arrowhead Stadium erupted with incredible energy. The whole world was burning, scorching, scalding, and boiling, and the oxygen was rapidly consumed.

The Green Bay Packers players were a little dull.

He was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, and his chest was heaving like a bellows. He was already severely exhausted, and now he was beginning to suffer from oxygen shortage.

This feeling is terrible.

Seventy-three seconds, seventy-five yards, four first downs, a touchdown—

Destroy and destroy.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense showed absolute strength, with smooth and varied offensive advancement, making the Green Bay Packers’ defense look like a rookie, clumsy, spinning in place, at a loss throughout the whole process, revealing their ugly appearance.

It’s no wonder that Arrowhead Stadium was in a frenzy. Even the professionals and coaches who were watching the first Super Bowl rematch at this moment were shocked.

It was originally thought that with Mahomes’ absence, the key quarterback position would become a shortcoming, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ proud offense might have loopholes.

But they didn’t expect that they would become witnesses of Levi’s personal performance.

Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, visiting team locker room.

The Houston Texans looked dejected. Following their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, they lost to their division rivals, the Indianapolis Colts this week.

The Houston Texans thought that without Andrew Luck, they would be able to easily defeat the Indianapolis Colts to get revenge; as a result, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Houston Texans in a textbook game, giving their division rivals a good lesson.

The atmosphere in the locker room was particularly depressing.

That is until Watt turned on the radio and listened to the live broadcast of the Sunday Night Game, just in time to witness the Kansas City Chiefs sound the clarion call for a counterattack.

Also without a starting quarterback and also under tremendous pressure and facing difficulties, the Kansas City Chiefs are just as tough as the Indianapolis Colts.

Watt’s eyes lit up and he smiled widely, “Hey, did you hear that? That’s my buddy.”

Locker room: …Boss, everyone in the entire league knows that Levi is your good brother. There is no need for you to rub salt into our wounds, okay?
Watt laughed heartily, his face full of pride. “Look at my man, he can carry the team by himself, while we sit here and groan like a bunch of kittens. No wonder he won so easily last week.”

Dressing Room: Swish, swish, swish! Boss!

In an instant, his eyes widened with anger.

Watson raised his head suddenly and stared at Watt with burning eyes.

Watt didn’t mind at all. Instead, he glared back fiercely, “Why, you can’t afford to lose? If you don’t even have the courage to face your own failure, how can you pursue victory?”

“Can you believe it? My guy can beat Green Bay. He will prove with practical actions that all of you are cowards without balls.”

Locker room: total silence.

Watson clenched his teeth and fists so hard that you could hear the sound of his teeth grinding against each other, rustling in the silence of the locker room.

There was only the voice coming from the radio, “…Although Green Bay still holds the lead, as I said, facing the Kansas City Chiefs led by Levi, a two-possession advantage is far from enough.”

Impact, spreading across the board.

The morale of the Green Bay Packers was obviously suppressed, not only the defense, but also the offense.

From “14:0” to “14:7”, the psychological pressure brought by the entire score is completely different.

Moreover, the Kansas City Chiefs’ long touchdown came so easily, even without Mahomes, that their mentality began to waver.

This means that the Green Bay Packers’ offensive unit’s room for error has been completely compressed. If they are not careful, the Kansas City Chiefs may be able to turn the situation around – this scene is not unfamiliar. In the 2017 playoffs, the entire league witnessed the Kansas City Chiefs’ unyielding efforts to turn the tide and continue to win.

My heart was beating wildly and my mouth suddenly became dry.

Perhaps Rogers is the only exception.

Stick to yourself. Focus on yourself. Do your best. That’s enough. They should focus on themselves. This is the right way to reach the other side of victory.

Rodgers knew that it was an impossible task to completely suppress the Kansas City Chiefs, even without Mahomes. It was not because he believed in Levi, but because he had no confidence in the Green Bay Packers’ defense.

Ah.

Originally, Rodgers also believed that the absence of Mahomes could bring some advantages to the Green Bay Packers, but now it seems that the expectations are still too high.

In the end, we still need to rely on the offensive team.

Next, as long as the offensive team continues to score points and touchdowns, the Green Bay Packers will be able to suppress their opponents. No matter how strong Levi is, he is just a running back after all. He can create a miracle once but it is difficult for him to carry the Kansas Chiefs for the entire course. The victory still belongs to the Green Bay Packers.

So, Rogers needs to stay 100% focused and concentrate completely on himself.

Amidst the chaos and noise, the Green Bay Packers’ offense took the field.

“The initiative still lies with the Green Bay Packers.”

“Aaron Rodgers, as long as he’s on the field, no one can underestimate the Green Bay Packers. We still need to see how Rodgers responds next.”

All eyes were focused on number twelve of the Green Bay Packers.

So much so that people temporarily forget about the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense, which is hiding in the shadows outside the spotlight.

Chris Jones took a deep breath. Levi came forward and without saying anything, he just raised his right hand high. “Go ahead, it’s your turn.”

There is a sense of trust revealed in the understatement.

Maybe, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense is still not the best in the league; maybe, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense does not have a top superstar who can take over the vacancy left by Houston and Berry.

However, they have a diligent and young team that helps each other, unites as one, bravely faces all challenges and will never back down.

Snapped!
Jones raised his right hand high and high-fived Levi.

Involuntarily, Jones straightened his back slightly and strode onto the field with his defense team.

Unlike the offensive team that encountered unexpected on-the-spot adjustments, the defensive team followed the routine. Their task was to face Rogers, a tough opponent. Regardless of whether Mahomes was on the field or not, they always needed to solve this problem, which was also the key link in the Kansas City Chiefs’ game.

So, how to defend the Green Bay Packers?
In fact, it is no secret throughout the league: Rogers.

Although the head coach still calls the tactics for the Green Bay Packers, the coach’s tactics often put all the burden on Rodgers’ shoulders.

One piece of data is very intuitive. The Green Bay Packers’ passing and running ratio is “7:3”, and sometimes even “8:2”, which is seriously biased towards passing.

Note that these are the data for this season, not the data for last season when McCarthy was the head coach.

In other words, this is the situation after LaFleur became the head coach. At the end of McCarthy’s coaching career, his offensive tactics that relied too much on Rogers’ personal ability were criticized, which ultimately led to McCarthy’s dismissal. However, why is there no change after replacing a new head coach?

Didn’t Lafleur learn from his past mistakes?
