Dominate the Super Bowl

Lost. Confused. Disoriented.

Jackson stood in place, staring blankly at the surging crimson tide ahead, his mind foggy, unable to figure out where things went wrong—

How did that guy appear on his passing route?

Things shouldn't be like this.

So, where exactly did it go wrong?

Involuntarily, Jackson raised his head, finding that figure in the crowd, number 23, celebrating with the defensive group players, grinning broadly, his eyebrows relaxing, catching all the spotlights on the field.

Back in NCAA, Jackson couldn't understand how that unremarkable Asian running back led the Crimson Tide Storm to invincible victories.

Entering the professional league, Jackson still didn't understand. He had grown and transformed; they had fully upgraded. Why then did the gap widen instead of narrowing? Last season they went into overtime indistinguishably; this season, they haven't gained the slightest advantage throughout the game.

Is this normal?

Maybe there are other reasons, not necessarily because of that running back. Football is a collective sport, right?

He wanted to defeat him; he longed to defeat him.

Logically, quarterbacks and running backs have no direct conflict; even in rivalry, he should be targeting Mahomes; yet, he couldn't control himself. All thoughts, obsessions, and predicaments, all focused on number 23, almost becoming a Heart Demon.

Suddenly, number 23 looked over, their gazes connected mid-air, Jackson's heart skipped a beat:

Devil.

This was Jackson's only thought.

No time to ponder, it was almost a subconscious reaction. Jackson turned and stepped forward, needing all his strength to restrain his impulse to flee in panic, barely managing to keep his legs landing steadily on the ground, yet his wildly beating heart almost exploded, revealing his true inner emotions.

Realizing his own disgrace and incompetence, Jackson was nearly drowned and consumed by humiliation, clenching his teeth and fists, anger boiling continuously.

Like a boiling kettle, steam rolling over.

Not only Jackson, but at this moment, countless kettles in front of televisions are boiling too—

What's happening?

What happened to the promised intense confrontation, what happened to the promised severe test, what happened to the promised spectacle?

Why did the game end up so one-sided?

"Things shouldn't be like this, Jackson, pull yourself together quickly; you can do it! You can defeat the rookie!"

"The match isn't over, anything is possible, topple the Kansas City Chiefs!"

"What a waste, I knew Baltimore Ravens couldn't do it, Kansas City Chiefs have had an easy schedule this year, it's a setup, a setup."

"Harbaugh, wake up, wake up. I can accept going to overtime again, just give me an overtime."

"Is the score gap this huge? Somewhat exaggerated, could it be rigged?"

Before the competition, everyone expected this to be a spectacular knife-edge battle, with Jackson and Harbaugh leading the trusted and anticipated Baltimore Ravens. From every angle, this team already possessed all qualities to undoubtedly become the popular contender for this year's Super Bowl. Facing the Kansas City Chiefs would be a trial—

The outcome…is just this?

Not a horse, but a mule.

The Baltimore Ravens' facade crumbled. Despite Harbaugh exerting full effort on both offense and defense, deploying every card in his deck and even once opposing the Kansas City Chiefs; nonetheless, they could only withstand for three seconds before completely getting lost in the sudden storm of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Unbelievable!

The Kansas City Chiefs truly showcased the stature of a strong team, not just holding an advantage but thoroughly controlling the game. When opponents elevated their state, they could also continue elevating theirs, with even better explosiveness and control, pulling the match back under their dominance.

Whether it's "Motion Offense" or Read Option; whether it's the increasingly mature offensive group or the defense group rebuilt during the offseason, the two-time defending champions are displaying a more mature and powerful stance, proving through actual performance their readiness for a quest for a three-peat.

Not overtime decisions or close-call victories, but the obvious advantage of three possessions, completely suppressing Harbaugh and Jackson leading the Baltimore Ravens, exhibiting unbelievable—

Dominance!

Previously, when Jackson overshadowed Li Wei in winning the American League's Week 1 Best Offensive Player of the regular season, many experts couldn't wait to clamor:

This year's regular season MVP has a strong contender, the league might experience a change!

Yet, Li Wei didn't think so.

Standing in front of Li Wei's calmness and power, Jackson seemed like a child learning to walk, his morale enthusiastically sprinting a path, but his short legs soon trembling and unsteady, almost unable to stand.

This is true strength.

So, what's next?

Can the Baltimore Ravens continue to fight back? Or, can they battle for honor, even if not for the victory at hand, but for the long season and potential playoffs?

Can the young Jackson become the league's next superstar on par with Mahomes and Li Wei? They shouldn't just focus on the present but also look to the future, right?

After all, this is only a regular season game.

Jackson... Rose—

Sadly, for just three seconds.

The Baltimore Ravens offensive group appeared again, Jackson clenched his teeth trying to prove he wouldn't surrender early, but the Kansas City Chiefs Defense had also built momentum, with new defensive captain Jones seeing red, ready to ignite team morale by going after Jackson.

Sacked!

Three-strike out!

The Kansas City Chiefs cut off the Baltimore Ravens' last hope with absolute strength and overpowering dominance, Jackson's final rise abruptly and decisively slapped onto the sand before he could recover, sprawled out on the ground helplessly, watching stars in a lifeless form.

Possession returned to the Kansas City Chiefs again—

Li Wei didn't appear; substitute running back Damien joined, fighting alongside Mahomes.

In fact, Li Wei wasn't needed anymore; sending Li Wei back out would be deemed unfair.

Tonight, Li Wei went completely wild:

Rushed for 111 yards, scored a touchdown.

Received for 199 yards, scored two touchdowns.

For the first time in his career, Li Wei achieved a combined 300 yards in rushing and receiving, leaving the Baltimore Ravens Defense ashamed and wishing to disappear.

Yet note that Mahomes also completed a magnificent game, with 35 passes, 26 completions, a 74.3% completion rate, gaining 403 yards and five passing touchdowns.

Sweeping all!

Clearly, it's not just Li Wei; Mahomes is undergoing an all-around transformation, facing an aggressive Jackson with 200% competitive state.

In the final moments, the Kansas City Chiefs no longer pursued scoring but focused on controlling time; the game had completely lost its suspense.

Is this okay? Does playing like this hurt Jackson?
