Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1189 A Kindness

"28:16".

The Kansas City Chiefs were leading by a full twelve points, but was the gap really that big in reality?
actually not.

Throughout the first half, the Kansas City Chiefs entered the red zone four times, and all four times turned into touchdowns, demonstrating the red zone efficiency of the offensive team.

The Los Angeles Chargers also approached the red zone four times, but only scored a touchdown once. The other three all ended in free kicks, and they lacked stamina.

Judging from the score, the Kansas City Chiefs have opened up a gap; but if we calm down and analyze it, we can see that the Los Angeles Chargers are not giving up at all. No wonder they were able to overturn the Kansas City Chiefs at home last season. However, competitive sports are so calm and cruel, just like the finishing touch in a football game -

Even if a team bombards the goal wildly and has double-digit shots on target, if there is no goal, there is no goal; and the opponent only needs one shot on target to score a goal, then the latter is leading at this moment.

This is also a microcosm of the Los Angeles Lightning this season.

He still has the strength, the tenacity and the competitiveness, but he lost the inspiration for the final push and ended up stuck in the mud.

So, facing this desperate situation, can the Los Angeles Lightning regain the energy and form of last season?

All the pressure falls on Rivers' shoulders.

The second half began amid anticipation and doubt, with the Los Angeles Lightning taking the lead in the attack.

Everything was as expected.

The Los Angeles Lightning were not ready to surrender, nor were they ready to give up the game.

The heavy blow in the last forty-eight seconds of the first half, after the encouragement and mobilization during the halftime break, turned into the fuel and motivation for their Jedi counterattack.

Rivers showed the style of a veteran and controlled the situation maturely and calmly.

Rivers was clear-headed and calm. He knew that if the Los Angeles Chargers wanted to make a difference or even win in this game, the offensive team must step up. Before the defensive team stopped Mahomes and Levi, their own offense must come up with something, otherwise everything would be in vain.

In the end, the Los Angeles Chargers sounded the clarion call for a counterattack with a 17-yard touchdown pass, instantly igniting the passion of Wembley and making the entire stadium crazy.

However, this slight impact had limited impact on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mahomes responded immediately. After the ups and downs of confrontation and adjustments in the first half, the young quarterback is also regaining his touch.

With a combination of passing and running, backed by a solid and steady ground offense, Mahomes gradually regained his composure and confidence. He clearly regained control of the passing rhythm and defensive reading, and the offense became smoother.

In the end, Mahomes and wide receiver Watkins completed a 14-yard pass connection for a touchdown, responding to the Los Angeles Chargers without giving up an inch.

There was a lot of fighting and the bayonets were stabbed.

The game entered the most exciting and interesting stage, with one climax after another.

Wembley hosted the most thrilling match in the London Stadium in ten years.

Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Lightning still fell short. Rather than saying it was a familiar pattern from the first half, it was more like a continuation of the pattern of the entire season.

At the critical moment, he lacked a breath. Although he had clearly created an opportunity, he always missed it at the last moment and finally suffered the bitter fruit of his own making.

It seems to be just a slight difference, but the deviation accumulates little by little and turns into a huge insurmountable gap, and you can only watch the opponent gradually widen the gap.

"44:29". Entering the second half, the Los Angeles Lightning threw away all the burdens and went all out. They attacked vigorously and did not lose in momentum at all. They won waves of applause from Wembley with their outstanding performance.

However, the score gap not only did not narrow, but continued to widen.

Tick, tick, the game time continues to pass mercilessly.

"...Time is running out for the Los Angeles Lightning."

"Now the Kansas City Chiefs send in backup running back Damien to kill the game time. All they need is one more first down and the game will be over."

"The Los Angeles Chargers defense did not give up. They tried to get Rivers another chance to play and fought for this season until the very end."

"It's hard to believe that after such a wonderful and successful season last year, the Los Angeles Chargers may fall out of the playoff race early this season. For Rivers, who is already in the end of his career, the time left for him to fight for the Super Bowl is getting shorter and shorter."

"That's why the Los Angeles Lightning defense didn't give up."

"Joey Bosa is motivating his teammates and continues to cheer for the team, hoping that they can complete another key defensive play."

"Now that Levi is not here, maybe this is the last chance for the Los Angeles Chargers."

However, on third down and 7 yards, the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly chose to fake a run and pass the ball. When everyone's attention was on running back Damien, Mahomes used a short pass to accurately find Kelce and complete the connection.

Kelce, who played well in this game, took the football and completed the first attack conversion despite being double-teamed. This officially sentenced the Los Angeles Lightning to death and killed the game.

"Mahomes kneeled down to end the play, and the game was over."

"In the fourth and final game of the 2019 London Bowl Series, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers away from home. We foresaw the outcome, but not the process."

"The Kansas City Chiefs gave the Los Angeles Chargers their most painful and fatal defeat of the season with a convincing performance. This was the Los Angeles Chargers' first double-digit loss of the season. The Kansas City Chiefs did not give their rivals in the same division any hope and decisively killed their hopes."

"It's hard to believe! At this time last season, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs were neck and neck, competing for the top spot in the division; and at this time this season, the Kansas City Chiefs have ended the Los Angeles Chargers' playoff hopes.

At least 99% of the time, the Los Angeles Lightning have missed the playoffs, and the remaining 1% may require a miracle. "

"That's why it's even more bitter and painful for the Los Angeles Chargers."

"But this is the NFL."

"We had a great season last year, but this season we may be heading for the abyss."

"Standing in front of the Los Angeles Chargers, it is even more rare that the Kansas City Chiefs have maintained their top level and championship competitiveness for three consecutive seasons."

"Now, the question is, is it a good thing or a bad thing that the Kansas City Chiefs did not mercifully extinguish the remaining hope of the Los Angeles Chargers?"

On the court, Bosa is also thinking about this question -

Would it have been easier to swallow if we had lost by a narrow margin of three points?
Or will losing the game so decisively and without any chance of winning wake them up completely and make them stop harboring empty illusions about this season and think that it is time to wake up and start preparing for next season?

From the latter perspective, the Kansas City Chiefs' decisiveness in killing is actually a kind of kindness to the Los Angeles Lightning?
Bosa was a little uncertain. He raised his head and found Levi in ​​the crowd. He took a deep breath and took the initiative to walk towards Levi.
