Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1639 Destined
Look at the Houston Texans, one wrong decision led to a complete collapse of the game; then look at the Los Angeles Chargers, one right decision put the team back on track; finally, look at the Kansas City Chiefs, although they remain strong and at their peak, everything seems different this season.

Undoubtedly, this serves as a reminder to the entire league that the invincible Kansas City Chiefs of the 2019 season are history. Like all teams, the Kansas City Chiefs need to start fresh in the 2020 season. If their competitors can truly start from scratch and shed the shadow of last season, they may be able to achieve a completely different result when facing the Kansas City Chiefs again.

Mentality!
This is the easiest and simplest yet also the most difficult and arduous step. Now it depends on which team can make the adjustments.

After a somewhat shaky and disorganized weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs' slow start proved evident, boosting the confidence of other teams, especially those facing the defending champions next week.

Baltimore crows.

Moreover, it's an away game.

In the third week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs embarked on their second consecutive week of travel, heading north to face the Baltimore Ravens, a highly anticipated game of the year.

When the new season schedule was officially released, there was a lot of discussion on social media. Why wasn't the opening game of the new season the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Baltimore Ravens?

Clearly, the league considered this option, even as a priority; but ultimately chose the game between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Firstly, because the game against the Baltimore Ravens was an away game; secondly, because of JJ Watt's transfer.

All things considered, the Houston Texans are the better choice for the opening game.

After the opening match, a flurry of discussions ensued, with various topics spreading rapidly:

If the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens game had been scheduled, would the opening game have been a different story? Would Levi and Jackson have been able to deliver a thrilling matchup? Would everything have been different? Would the entire season's opening and subsequent trajectory have been altered?

There are even conspiracy theories flying around: the league is "protecting" the Kansas City Chiefs because Goodell knows the Kansas City Chiefs are slow starters. Goodell is worried that the Kansas City Chiefs will lose their opening game to the Baltimore Ravens. Goodell wants the Kansas City Chiefs to break the league's regular season winning streak record, so he deliberately arranged for the Houston Texans to win.

blah blah blah.

These details reveal the immense anticipation within the league for the match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens, with widespread belief that the Baltimore Ravens could defeat the Kansas City Chiefs. The duo of Hubble and Jackson has earned countless fans both within and outside the league.

In the 2020 season, the Baltimore Ravens remain one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl.

"Jackson vs. Levi" is the hottest matchup in the league from the NCAA to the NFL, from regular season rivalry to MVP voting and the top 100 player poll. It has been the most talked-about matchup throughout the season and remains a hot topic even during the offseason, with discussions never stopping.

Last season's playoffs saw the Baltimore Ravens suffer a shock defeat to the Houston Texans, missing out on the Conference Finals and a chance to face the Kansas City Chiefs. This was a huge disappointment, so much so that Jackson was surrounded by a cacophony of annoying insults throughout the offseason, with social media relentlessly attacking him.

Now, Jackson is about to have a chance to redeem himself.

All signs and circumstances suggest that the Baltimore Ravens and the Jackson have the best chance to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, and this is indeed the case on paper.

But the real question remains: can Lamar Jackson, who carries such high hopes and responsibilities, seize the opportunity?
Finally, after waiting and anticipation, the season's big event is about to begin, and we don't even need to wait until the Super Bowl halfway through the season—we can enjoy the show in the third week of the regular season!

The noise is deafening. In the 2020 season, the Baltimore Ravens are currently undefeated with two wins, showcasing excellent form by defeating the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans.

On the surface, the two competitors appear to lack competitiveness; however, this is not the case.

One is a mortal enemy in the same district.

The Cleveland Browns are notorious troublemakers. They are mediocre in international games but excellent in domestic games. No matter how well they perform against other teams each season, they are always incredibly strong in their divisional battles. They can often upset their divisional rivals and disrupt the divisional landscape, making them a formidable opponent for almost everyone.

In their first game of the season, the Baltimore Ravens decisively defeated the Cleveland Browns, demonstrating their top-level competitive form.

One of them is their nemesis from last season.

The Houston Texans suffered a humiliating defeat in their opening game. For O'Brien, facing a series of strong opponents, he desperately needed to bounce back and prove himself, especially against the same opponents he had upset in the divisional playoffs last season. He was trying to prove that if the Houston Texans could beat the Baltimore Ravens once, they could beat them a second time; and that they could do it even without Hopkins and Watt.

There is no doubt that the Houston Texans have unleashed tremendous energy.

However, the Baltimore Ravens withstood the pressure and the onslaught, defeating the Houston Texans in a convincing battle. This not only avenged their shock loss in the divisional playoffs earlier this year, but also handed O'Brien and the Houston Texans a disastrous two-game losing streak, plunging them into the abyss.

Most importantly, Hubble and Jackson showed determination—

They are ready.

Last season, the Baltimore Ravens' rise was an unexpected dark horse. Jackson emerged in a delightful manner, just like Levi in ​​the 2017 season, catching everyone off guard.

This season, the Baltimore Ravens have already made their mark, but they are more mature and composed, having transitioned from dark horses to powerhouses. They possess talent and ability, they have the capacity to defeat any opponent, and they are ready to demonstrate their strength.

Chief of Kansas?
It's just the right time. This is exactly what the Baltimore Ravens need: a formidable opponent, a true test of their abilities and a strong contender to prove they have the potential to make it to the Super Bowl. From Hubble to Jackson, everyone is eagerly anticipating this game, hoping to deliver a thrilling clash from their home court.

Hubble knew perfectly well that in the current NFL, any team that wanted to make it to the Super Bowl had to face the Kansas City Chiefs and have the courage to defeat them.

The spotlight shone on Jackson, and the media, eager to sow discord, once again turned their guns on him, trying to provoke this prodigy.

"Lamar, from college until now, you have never beaten Levi, not in any situation. Do you think you can beat him? People say he is your destined rival, and that you may never be able to defeat him. Do you think he is your nemesis?"

"So, do you have a psychological aversion to him? Do you blush, feel your heart race, breathe rapidly, and tremble all over every time you see him? Do you have the courage to challenge him?"

Sharp, direct, and lethal.
