Dominate the Super Bowl

Stamp?

Wait, stamp?

Thalia looked at Li Wei with clear and bright eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed, but her smile fully bloomed, unwaveringly meeting Li Wei's gaze.

However, it did not last long.

A second, just a brief second, before Li Wei could respond, she seemed worried that he might say more, fearing to hear his refusal.

So, like an ostrich, she turned away, burying her head in the sand, her heart fluttering with excitement and anxiety. Thalia opened the car door of the passenger side, swiftly getting out, desperate to escape before Li Wei could speak, to completely disappear into the crowd.

"Hey, Thalia."

A call came from behind. Thalia's rationality told her she should run and not give Li Wei a chance to speak, but an impulse grabbed her ankle, momentarily halting her steps, her heart uncontrollably rushing back behind her. She had to use all her strength to resist the urge to turn around.

"If I were to send a court summons to you, where should I send it?"

A little... joke?

"Also, this is my exclusive stamp, not allowed for anyone else."

One sentence, Thalia was completely stunned, her heart bursting open, fireworks filling the sky, vibrant colors and bustling sounds making her blood boil.

Ultimately, she could not resist, and Thalia turned to look back, immediately seeing the smile at the corner of Li Wei's mouth.

But Li Wei did not linger, instead releasing the handbrake and driving away first.

Thalia watched the back of the car, her mood instantly soaring, turning and leaping, her whole body jumping high, running wildly through the airport.

With open arms, as if she could grasp the whole world.

...

The regular season has ended, and the playoffs have begun—

NFL continues relentlessly, not only that, it's accelerating, speeding towards the ultimate showdown of the season.

On one hand, discussions around the regular season are bustling and never cease.

Those teams missing the playoffs have already started discussing the offseason early, deciding who should be renewed and who should be traded, how to plan the draft and Free Market, summarizing the gains and losses of the season, and looking forward to the new season, the real busy period is just beginning.

Players are the same, some are happy, some are worried.

Meanwhile, evaluations of regular season awards can now begin in full force, not only just the regular season MVP, but also the Pro Bowl, All-America First Team and Second Team, as well as the League's top 100 players list, all can be discussed.

Bustling with activity.

On the other hand, the playoffs are the focal point, the focus among focuses.

Including teams missing the playoffs, from team managers to coaching staff to players, none are exceptions, all focus on the progress of the playoffs.

Whether it is rebuilding a team or improving a team, whether continuing with the original team or transferring to a new team, league dynamics are crucial, only by observing the playoff team's actions can one glimpse at the potential possibilities during the offseason and the league landscape for the next season.

Moreover, this year there's an ultimate suspense waiting to be revealed, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Will the Kansas City Chiefs suffer a bitter defeat, once again proving the hardness of a perfect NFL season; or will the Kansas City Chiefs be unstoppable at the Super Bowl, achieving a historic feat by winning the season undefeated and clinching a third consecutive Super Bowl championship?

No one can miss it, literally, no one.

Precisely because of this, each game of this year's playoffs deserves attention, each victory or defeat could change the next steps of the playoffs.

On January 4th, just six days after the noise of the last week of the regular season faded, the first round of playoff wildcard games has already begun.

This year, the American League kicks off first.

In the afternoon, the fourth seed Houston Texans host the fifth seed Buffalo Bills.

In the evening, the third seed New England Patriots host the sixth seed Tennessee Titans.

Two hard battles, attracting worldwide attention!

Indeed... living up to expectations.

The first match, "Houston Texans VS Buffalo Bills."

This season, both young teams have transformed and grown, especially the Buffalo Bills.

The Buffalo Bills are a traditionally strong defensive team, solid and steadfast in style, not flashy or dazzling, yet they have always had a group of loyal blue-collar fans.

From 1990 to 1993, the Buffalo Bills made it to the Super Bowl for four consecutive years, still holding the record for most consecutive Super Bowl appearances; when other teams find it hard to reach the Super Bowl even twice in a row, they completed such a feat four years in a row; but all four times they lost, also creating history, so much so that they have never topped the Super Bowl.

Four consecutive appearances but four consecutive defeats has become a curse. Since the wildcard match of the 1995 season, the Buffalo Bills have never achieved a playoff victory.

This year, the Buffalo Bills' defensive group is still excellent, ranked second in the league, only behind the New England Patriots; at the same time, the offensive group, led by second-year quarterback Josh Allen, has been reborn. Although their league rank is only twenty-third, Allen's presence allows the Buffalo Bills to no longer rely solely on ground offense, with their passing offense reporting over three thousand yards again after many years, making them competitive again.

Coincidentally, the Buffalo Bills face the Houston Texans a similarly young team.

Over these years, the Houston Texans have become a special existence in the league due to Watt's emergence. Though much attention is paid, they have never truly risen, much less the American League finals. Even securing playoff spots has been sporadic.

This season, the Houston Texans' defensive group has greatly diminished in power, ranking only twentieth in the league; but third-year quarterback DeShaun Watson seems to have finally matured, with the offensive group making it to the league's forefront, ranked fourteenth.

On the surface, their rank isn't high, hovering in the middle tier, but the Houston Texans have shown the strength and excellence of a mature team with their outstanding performances at key moments, not needing to perform well throughout the game but seizing opportunities at critical junctures. Victory is the only thing that matters.

This wildcard game is an opportunity for both teams, with the final suspense definitely being a close call, probably the most close-knit and intense clash of the wildcard round.

However, the game had a slight surprise.

"16:0"

All the way to the latter part of the third quarter, the visiting Buffalo Bills went full force, their brilliant performance in both offense and defense leaving the Houston Texans bewildered, with a score far ahead, just one more quarter away from their first playoff victory in twenty-four years.

The Houston Texans fans have already sunk into despair, wondering if history is about to repeat itself again?

In these past years, they have experienced similar scenarios not once or twice, with the Houston Texans breaking the hearts of fans again and again, also squandering Watt's youth repeatedly. The time left for team leader Watt is truly limited. Many fans are already suffering from PTSD; just as they are about to fall into the dark abyss once more this year, finally someone stands up.

This time, it is not JJ-Watt, but DeShaun Watson.
