Chapter 851: 850 Network Paralysis
“…Kansas City Chiefs, it’s absolutely the Kansas City Chiefs, I have no doubt about it!”
“No, no, no, the Los Angeles Rams are the ones holding the upper hand.”
“The difficulty of defending the title speaks for itself.”
“From the standpoint of experience and mentality, the Kansas City Chiefs have the advantage.”
“Folks, don’t forget, the Los Angeles Rams beat the Kansas City Chiefs during the regular season.”
“Personally, I believe that overall strength-wise, the Kansas City Chiefs are obviously the more favored side.”
Back and forth, neither side giving an inch.
Opinions clashing, endless bickering.
It’s clear that it’s once again the annual time to predict the Super Bowl champion—
Everyone has their own opinion, literally everyone.
On one side, the Kansas City Chiefs steadily return from their break, diving into training with methodical preparations for the season’s final showdown.
On the other side, the entire social network is in meltdown, faces flushed, tempers flaring.
Without a doubt, this is probably the most talked-about and hotly debated Super Bowl in recent years, with buzz levels skyrocketing to the max.
First, “Los Angeles VS the defending champions.”
As the second largest city in North America, the potential of Los Angeles’ football market and its influence on surrounding cities is undeniable; yet, the last time a Los Angeles football team made it to the Super Bowl stage was way back in the distant 1983 season—
That year, the Los Angeles Raiders qualified for the Super Bowl, facing defending champions Washington Redskins, and ultimately claimed victory in a resounding win to take the title.
Twenty-five years later, a Los Angeles team finally makes it back to the Super Bowl stage, once again facing the reigning champions. Could history be repeating itself?
One can imagine the sheer frenzy of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area.
Over the past two years, both the Rams and the Chargers relocated to Los Angeles but failed to ignite the city’s passion for football.
Until now.
Compared to a prime football market like Los Angeles, Kansas City doesn’t even register on the map; but the key point is, the Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions and the league’s No. 1 seed. After a season of hard work, even casual football fans now have their eyes firmly on Kansas City, rivaling the attention on Los Angeles.
Second, the unforgettable brilliance of the “Midseason Super Bowl.”
Both the game’s progression and final result made it the highlight of the 2018 season, setting the standard for match excitement—
“This Wild Card game was basically 30% of a Midseason Super Bowl,” “A divisional game that didn’t deliver even 50% of a Midseason Super Bowl’s greatness,” “Exciting for sure, but I personally think it reaches just 75% of the Midseason Super Bowl level.”

Breaking barriers, not just limited to the NFL, even comparisons with events from other major sports leagues frequently pop up. This classic showdown has become a central topic for North American sports fans.
Now, in the same season, the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs face off again?
No one should miss it.
Third, regular-season MVP Li Wei.
Thanks to Li Wei’s historic achievements, the news spread far and wide. Not only that, but Li’s groundbreaking run last year—leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory and being crowned Super Bowl MVP—left an impact that still resonates globally, drawing all eyes to this year’s Super Bowl.
Here, it’s not just football fans being discussed, but casual spectators, curious onlookers, and even those who “don’t know a thing about football, yet suddenly see endless discussions on their timelines and reluctantly realize they need to catch up or risk being left out, pretending to care just to fit in.”
In other words, non-football audiences are waking up to the Super Bowl frenzy.
The bustling discussions surrounding the Super Bowl are reaching new heights. For a moment, it feels like the whole world is tuning into the showdown—
Finally, there’s a faint resemblance to the atmosphere of a World Cup final.
Meanwhile, the North American continent feels like it’s in festival mode, inside out, top to bottom, with only one thought on everyone’s mind:
“Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl.”
As mentioned earlier, it’s rare, but this year the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves as the favorites.
In fact, insights from All-America First Team/Second Team voting, Pro Bowl selections, and regular-season awards have revealed clues. The endorsements and praise from professionals for the Kansas City Chiefs far exceed those for the Los Angeles Rams.
At this moment, Los Angeles fans are ready to protest, accusing experts of obvious bias due to controversial calls at the end of the National Conference championship game.
“The controversial calls weren’t our fault,” “We could’ve beaten New Orleans without those calls,” “There’s no controversy, period,” “Anyway, the league just blindly worships Li Wei, right?” “Haha, we’re just sacrificial lambs to shield The Chosen One, right?”
Comments like these abound.
But professionals argue that those votes were based on the regular season. Take the Chicago Bears, for example, who were eliminated by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first playoff round—the recognition should not diminish. The Kansas City Chiefs’ overall performance in the regular season is undeniably convincing, building their success step by step.
However, Los Angeles fans cover their ears, “Doesn’t matter, we beat the Kansas City Chiefs, period. No need for further discussion, that’s the simple truth. We’ll always hold that record. We won the Midseason Super Bowl, and we’ll win the Super Bowl too.”
From another perspective, professionals aren’t bothered; there’s no need to argue with online users.
The bottom line is that when it comes to the Super Bowl, everyone has an opinion, and no one can convince another—people have their own loyalties and focus points.
This is part of what makes team sports so captivating.
From the perspective of professionals, whether you support the Los Angeles Rams or the Kansas City Chiefs, one thing is indisputable:
Needle meets thread.
From all angles, this year’s Super Bowl matchup indeed feels like a perfect script. Even Goodell couldn’t have written a better grand finale for the season.
From a conspiracy theorist’s standpoint, Goodell would’ve preferred a Super Bowl ending like “Los Angeles Rams VS New England Patriots.” The controversial calls in the final moments of both conference championships pointed to this notion.
At that time, voting results for regular-season MVP hadn’t been announced yet, and Li Wei, as the breakout star, had already been milked for almost all his value. Compared to the Kansas City Chiefs making it to the Super Bowl, the collision between old-school East Coast powerhouse New England Patriots and West Coast upstart Los Angeles Rams offered the league greater opportunities for maneuvering.
Of course, the main narrative of “the old wave VS the new wave” could elevate the season to a fresh peak.
Unfortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs ruined Goodell’s perfectly laid plans.
Who would’ve thought that the Kansas City Chiefs, playing the role of disruptor for the second consecutive year, would accidentally complete a Hollywood-style narrative, bringing the 2018 season to its climax in a very different way?
Indeed, God is the best storyteller, and destiny writes the greatest scripts—a truth that never changes.
