Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1227 Unable to change despite repeated admonishment
Chaos, storm, the whole world was in uproar, and the alliance was in a state of heated discussion.

"New England Patriots VS Kansas City Chiefs" The head-to-head confrontation between the new and old champions has escalated again, and it has become the NFL's annual carnival.

The momentum is completely comparable to the peerless duel between "Manning and Brady", and even better than that. A regime change is taking place in the league.

In such a situation, "Gillette Stadium Incident 2.0" becomes particularly sensitive and difficult, and the league's attitude is crucial.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the league stands behind the Kansas City Chiefs, and Goodell fully supports Levi, there is no doubt about that; but some people are curious:

In this case, what's the problem? The league can punish the New England Patriots severely to make an example of them, isn't that enough?
Things are not that simple.

Although it is an obvious trend for the league to support the Kansas City Chiefs and severely punish the New England Patriots, with the war approaching, the league's decision may further intensify the conflict.

What if the New England Patriots use a mutual destruction tactic against Levi?
Goodell has not forgotten that in last year's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Gillette Stadium, New England Patriots linebacker Bentley used a lethal tactic and almost hit Levi; although Levi was not injured at the time, the atmosphere of the game was extremely tense and the conflict between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

This year, Belichick has made it clear: whatever it takes.

If Levi needs to be sent off the court in a mutually destructive manner, Goodell believes Belichick will not hesitate.

By then, even if the league severely punishes the New England Patriots, the injuries cannot be reversed, and the Kansas City Chiefs' dream of three consecutive championships may be shattered.

The NFL's efforts to innovate, change dynasties, and expand into the world may also face the crisis of hitting a wall head-on.

The loss is not just Levi.

Of course, Goodell can accept the outcome of the Kansas City Chiefs losing and failing to defend their title. This is competitive sports, and everything is possible. Goodell does not want to manipulate the outcome of the game, which will instead lose the NFL's long-standing appeal.

But Goodell could not accept that Levi ended the season in a cowardly manner without a fair fight. This would damage the new image of the league that Levi had built over the past three seasons.

So, Goodell must strike a balance.

This is also a game between Goodell and Belichick, or a game between the New England Patriots and the league.

The alliance responded immediately.

They will set up an independent investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the Gillette Stadium incident and will never tolerate any discrimination or offensive behavior linked to race.

Take a tough stance!

Goodell made his voice heard, but instead of announcing a punishment directly, he took an above-board stance, launched an investigation and tried to ease the situation.

Belichick is an old fox, and Goodell is also an old fox. The tug-of-war and calculations between them can clearly feel the undercurrent of tension.

However, the accident still happened, and both Belichick and Goodell were caught off guard.

December 8th, Sunday, match day.

The clash between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs was unexpectedly scheduled for... Monday.

The reason is still the centennial season. A special commemorative game was arranged for Sunday night, and the theme of the 14th week of the regular season is "Ohio State".

Ohio is where the NFL was founded. It once had two NFL teams, and the owner of both teams was the same person, Paul Brown. Although the two teams later moved to different cities, they inherited the oldest, most original and most orthodox bloodline of the league.

"Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns".

Although the two teams are not currently the top teams in the league, this is Goodell's ambitious plan to promote the NFL this season, and other events must give way, so the game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs must give up the spot for the Sunday night game.

On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs' schedule was disrupted due to the London Bowl, and it might not be appropriate for them to return to the Thursday night game right after the bye week. The entire league is expecting the two teams to recuperate and play at their strongest, and after careful consideration, this game was decided to be played on Monday night.

So, that's the schedule.

However, no one expected that there would be changes in the game on Sunday.

On the Sunday night game stage, a suspicious team appeared behind the Cincinnati Bengals' coaching bench and filmed the coaching staff's tactical layout and tactical gestures without notifying the league or seeking permission from the Cincinnati Bengals.

A member of the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff noticed something suspicious and notified their home stadium security, who promptly stopped the suspicious team and confiscated the videotapes they had filmed.

Before the Cincinnati Bengals could launch their own investigation, a stadium security guard leaked the video to the media, who then released the video on social networks, causing an uproar.

Subsequently, the Cincinnati Bengals staff followed the clues to investigate and the truth was made public.

The New England Patriots posted a task in the secret fan section "Do-Your-Job" on their official website. Because the team will play against the Cincinnati Bengals next week, they need a group of fans to go to the stadium to take pictures of the tactical gestures of the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff.

This group of fans disguised themselves as Cleveland Browns fans, applied for a permit from the Cleveland Browns and successfully passed the review, allowing them to enter the stadium with cameras. However, they did not stay in the Cleveland Browns fan area, but went to the Cincinnati Bengals side for secret filming.

boom!
Once the news was announced, it caused an uproar in the alliance.

Because this is the second time that the New England Patriots have been caught in the act, and the second time they have been involved in the "spygate" scandal with solid evidence since 2007.

It was the 2007 season when the New England Patriots remained undefeated.

Is there anyone still wondering why the New England Patriots are still not loved in North America despite winning so many championships?
Belichick is still Belichick, and he will do whatever it takes to win.

The entire league was in a rage, and social networks were flooded with abuse and accusations. Not only football fans, but fans of other competitive sports could not believe it.

First there was the "Gillette Stadium Incident 2.0" and then there was the "Spygate 2.0". The New England Patriots' shameless unfair competition has caused all the anger inside and outside the league to surge towards Gillette Stadium.

Whether it is the former or the latter, there is solid evidence, and there is even surveillance video as evidence. It is a foregone conclusion, and the New England Patriots are caught in a storm of public opinion.

Collective madness.

Football fans directly flooded into the NFL's official social network accounts and the league's official website to flood these platforms with emails and messages, demanding that the league must severely punish the New England Patriots with tough measures. Such dishonorable means of competition are simply a shame for the league.

While the league tried to shape a new image of football by relying on Levi's positive image, the New England Patriots did everything they could to show the dirtiest and ugliest side of competitive sports, which was disgusting.
