Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 458: 457 The world is bustling Chapter 458: 457 The world is bustling Events were deviating from the track just as expected.

Despite being unexpected, the continued surge in popularity was something no one could refuse.

With Pederson’s “patricide” before and Li Wei’s “lack of confidence” after, it was clear that for both teams, the Super Bowl meant more than imaginable—one team trying to win for the first time in history, another returning to the championship stage after more than forty years.

Both sides had it tough.

Whether it was the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs, both teams had compelling reasons to win, so the battle was ignited early on.

However, that still wasn’t everything.

“Is no one prepared to talk about Nick Foles’s revenge tour of self-proclamation?”

In the midst of noise and heated discussion, an unexpected but hot topic overwhelmingly dominated the screens because, after all, who does not love a big spectacle?

Foles, an obscure third-round draft pick at quarterback, was until this season just an inconsequential name in the League, likely to drift between teams playing backup roles, fading into obscurity.

Yet, he came into his own in the final stages of this season, stumbling a bit but still seizing the opportunity to shine and ultimately earning a chance at the grandest stage of his career.

Like the ugly duckling.

Li Wei, a rookie running back who transitioned from mixed martial arts to football, entered the league this season still clueless about the football world.

He blundered his way through, unbelievably carving out his niche in an unpredictable manner.

No one could foresee how long he could maintain his performance or what heights he could reach.

Was a season of brilliance the start of a legend, or just a fleeting meteoric blaze before returning to obscurity?

Like Cinderella.

What’s more, last season Foles was backing up Smith at the Kansas City Chiefs, and now he’s leading the Philadelphia Eagles straight into a fair and square showdown with the Chiefs.

Such a twist-filled, almost magical story is something even Hollywood screenwriters would hesitate to pen.

Fate, it seemed, had already destined this.

That’s why the fifty-second Super Bowl was hailed as the underdog contest.

The most iconic matchup, undoubtedly, was the clash between Foles and Li Wei.

Two underdogs, two rookies, two obscure figures now both standing under the spotlight, fighting for the annual highest title in a battle that defied all predictions, norms, and expectations—an encounter filled with endless possibilities yet unpredictable, no one should miss it.

At the strike of midnight, no one knew what the next season held for Foles and Li Wei, but at least for now, as the magic had not yet faded, who could seize the final opportunity to pen the perfect ending to this fairy-tale story?

So—

Which team will ascend as the Super Bowl Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs?

“Ugly Duckling vs.

Cinderella,” who will complete their transformation at the final hurdle?

Anything is possible.

Maybe, next season, whether it’s Foles or Li Wei, both will be like meteors, briefly blazing before vanishing, a common scenario in NFL history.

Even Kurt Warner, hailed as a legend like Cinderella, never reached the Super Bowl summit a second time.

But all the more reason these current unfolding events, this season, seems so rare.

After all, in the NFL, countless legends, countless stars, have never even had their shining moment of winning the Super Bowl.

Like Miami Dolphins’ legendary quarterback Dan Marino.

Precisely for this reason, there’s no need to worry about next season or care about the future; the present opportunity is the only one that matters.

Foles or Li Wei?

Li Wei or Foles?@@novelbin@@

Who will seize the opportunity to perfectly end this fairy-tale season?

Buzzing and bustling, the whole social media was swept up in a full-blown frenzy, as countless netizens joined the discussion, a wave of excitement awakening everywhere.

Who could refuse?

Who could ignore?

Who could simply watch from the sidelines?

The answer was negative.

Thus,

The Pro Bowl weekend had just concluded when, as if premeditated, the Super Bowl fervor couldn’t wait to escalate comprehensively, erupting with unprecedented energy.

The northern hemisphere’s winter turned instantly into summer, and the rolling heat waves roused even the hibernating animals in the icy worlds into a frenzy.

Lively.

Noisy.

Boiling.

This scene, which no one had anticipated before the season opener, was now the subject of heated discussions and never-ending controversial topics.

But precisely because of this, the NFL’s unpredictable suspense once again showcased its charm; no one could predict the outcome, everyone believed their judgment was correct, and they all eagerly awaited the game filled with hope.

Whether it was the die-hard fans from Philadelphia and Kansas City longing desperately for a championship, the cheerful neutral fans relishing the spectacle, or the posers secretly betting their private stashes in Las Vegas, hoping for a quick buck…

Everyone believed their team could claim the championship.

Such a possibility was enough to drive people crazy.

In such a scenario, not even considering before the season’s opener, in fact, just two weeks prior, following the end of the conference championships, people still hadn’t anticipated it.

The Philadelphia Eagles?

The Kansas City Chiefs?

When people saw the champions of the National and American Conferences, everyone felt disheartened, almost wanting to give up, worrying about the Super Bowl’s appeal:

The 2017 season, it’s over.

No superstars.

Not a big market team.

Not a traditional powerhouse of recent years.

With neither teams having any buzz or explosive appeal, how should the NFL manage its promotions for such a Super Bowl showdown?

However, now?

The situation had completely turned around.

Look, this must be the least star-studded Super Bowl in fifteen years—

No Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, no Ray Lewis or Ben Roethlisberger, no Hall of Fame-level superstars clashing, no previous Super Bowl champions facing off, no large-market draw, no traditional powerhouse team foundations.

Nothing at all.

Before us was merely a “Ugly Duckling VS Cinderella” topic, hardly impressive.

Yet, what no one had considered was that this summit clash at the Summit of the Forbidden still created an unprecedented frenzy on social media.

What was most unexpected was that the Super Bowl had not even officially started, yet this year’s Super Bowl had already broken records in social media traffic early on—

Having no superstars didn’t matter; people were ready to embrace new superstars.

The frenzy was awakened.

To be more precise, countless fans had been waiting for this day.

Fans outside of the New England region were already tired of Brady’s standard victories, already sick of the New England Patriots repeatedly dominating, and had long been waiting for the arrival of a new champion.

Now, at last!
