Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 1300: The Siren's Call



In the 2019 season, Lamar Jackson underwent a complete transformation, sweeping through the league spotlight with an overwhelming stance; coupled with Li Wei's outstanding performance still standing at the pinnacle of the league, the showdown between these two rising stars easily evoked not-so-distant memories.

NCAA, the 2016 season, the fierce competition for the Heisman Trophy ultimately witnessed Li Wei's coronation, leading to widespread discussion.

At that time, the real threat to Li Wei's ascent included Jackson, but Jackson was not the main player, DeShaun Watson was.

Now, watching Jackson and Li Wei shining brightly, Watson also felt the excitement, motivated by shame, he finally erupted.

He is not a supporting actor, nor a background; he is not a regretful flop; he is definitely not the weakest link in the "2016 Heisman Trophy Triumvirate".

In the NCAA, he was always overshadowed by Li Wei; in the NFL, he was overshadowed by Watt. Watson was always an accessory, a follower, an embellishment, which almost left him breathless. After wasting his first two rookie seasons in a daze, Watson finally awakened.

Moreover, at the most crucial moment, Watson stood up under pressure, playing the role of the "pillar" quarterback for the Houston Texans for the first time, a role that carried hope and heavy responsibility.

"16:0".

The Buffalo Bills fully occupied the advantage, with the Defensive group's excellent performance creating two turnovers, and even had the Houston Texans' Offensive group scrambling, with waves of humiliation and ridicule, Watson hit rock bottom and rebounded.

When the league was abuzz with talk that Jackson was "The Chosen One," when all the professionals marveled that Jackson was the ultimate version of the quarterback, Watson also stepped up by proving with practical action:

Passing? No problem; running? No problem either.

What Jackson can do, he can do too; not only that, he can do even better.

Watson transformed into a Super Saiyan, both passing and running, with full firepower, leading the Offensive group to complete a seventy-five-yard advance, finally relying on his legs to complete an eleven-yard run and achieve a touchdown.

And that's not all.

Subsequently, the Houston Texans challenged the two-point conversion, Watson again relied on his legs to run into the end zone, completing the critical two-point conversion.

"16:8".

In just one offensive time, the gap that seemed unreachable not long ago instantly evolved into a single possession, and the momentum changed instantly.

The Houston Texans' Defensive group was significantly invigorated and during the next wave of defense, they sacked Josh Allen, caused a fumble, and regained possession.

In less than five minutes, the Buffalo Bills panicked, paying a painful price for their youth.

In a critical moment, the Buffalo Bills still relied on their traditional defense to secure their stand, timely preventing Watson from achieving another touchdown, although they still conceded a field goal, they managed to control the situation before it descended into further chaos, sending the match into a knife-edge tussle in the fourth quarter.

Back and forth, tension ran high.

"16:19".

With two minutes and twenty-seven seconds left in the match, the Houston Texans led at home, but the possession was in the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

Then, the Defensive group led by Watt achieved another major success, sacking Josh Allen while the Buffalo Bills were forced to play on fourth down, maintaining their defensive intensity from the previous three gears, and even further, not only forcing Allen to lose sixteen yards but also causing a fumble.

This possession change earned Watson a chance to attack from the Buffalo Bills' thirty-nine-yard line, just needing to advance a little further to enter the field goal zone.

However, the Buffalo Bills' Defensive group refused to yield, decisively achieving a three-and-out without giving Watson any chance.

Moreover, during Watson's desperate fourth-and-one attack, the Buffalo Bills' Defensive group firmly pinned Watson behind the scrimmage line.

The opportunity was back in the hands of the Buffalo Bills, and this time Josh Allen did not miss it, completing a drive in one minute and eleven seconds, though not securing a touchdown, they still managed to tie the score with a buzzer-beating field goal.

"19:19".

The league was in a state of exclamation, applause thundered.

Compared to last season's one-sided playoffs, this season's playoffs were entirely different, with the very first game showcasing genuine brutality.

In overtime, both Watson and Allen lacked the ability to finish the game in one blow, with the Defensive groups remaining the protagonists.

The Houston Texans, who attacked first, were three-and-out.

Then the Buffalo Bills, who attacked afterward, had already entered the field goal range, but due to a penalty, they lost yardage and left the field goal zone, eventually regrettably punting the ball, giving away the chance to clinch the game to their opponent.

This time, the narrowly escaping Houston Texans seized the opportunity.

Despite the Buffalo Bills' Defensive group's torrential pressure giving Watson no breathing space, in the desperate threat of being sacked by two opposing players, Watson hastily made a four-yard short pass to substitute running back Taiwan Jones, who usually mainly plays in the Special Duty Group.

The latter not only completed the catch but also broke out in the chaos, strongly advancing thirty yards.

Thanks to this rushing advance, the Houston Texans successfully moved into the Buffalo Bills' territory, ultimately completing a twenty-eight-yard field goal.

Clincher!

"19:22".

The Houston Texans completed a super comeback, achieving playoff victory once again since the 2016 season.

The young Buffalo Bills paid the price for missing several great opportunities at critical moments, leaving the field in tears.

Post-game, Watt was emotionally overwhelmed but still tried to control himself, remaining understated and steady.

"...we need to go game by game, although we've won the victory, we still have many problems to resolve, I hope..."

Watt was slightly choked up but controlled himself.

"I hope to lead the team further ahead."

Founded in 1999 and first entering the NFL in 2002, the Houston Texans, in their less than twenty-year history, had never broken past the divisional round.

Despite overcoming the wildcard round three times, they were all defeated in the divisional round, once losing to the Baltimore Ravens, twice to the New England Patriots.

Therefore, Watt didn't let greed ruin his focus, needing to take things step by step, initially aiming full force at the divisional round.

However, Watson was different, his eyes revealed a fierce determination, completely consumed with intensity from the passion ignited in overtime all the way through to the post-game press conference.

"Bring it on."

"No matter who it is, bring it on, they are irrelevant because I am ready."

"Watch me, I will prove myself, first Lamar Jackson, then Li Wei, I will defeat them one by one, and then stand on the Super Bowl stage."

Boom!

Watson fully lashed out, obviously very discontent with the media frenzy revolving entirely around Jackson and Li Wei, ignoring his presence.

Now, Watson actively sought recognition, with the league bustling like a summer storm, instantly engulfing all of Houston.

So, the question is raised, who would the Houston Texans' opponent be in their attempt to break past the divisional round shackles, Jackson, or Li Wei?

This depends on the outcome of another match.
