When the Jacksonville Jaguars went to challenge the Pittsburgh Steelers on their ho turf, the dia and professionals overwhelmingly favored the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars had defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular season, they lacked a superstar player and had returned to the playoffs after a full nine years. Over the past two to three seasons, there had been no signs of a strong rise, and their advancent to the playoffs seed more like luck. Their wild card victory over the Buffalo Bills was also unconvincing.
Moreover, the battle between the "The Wanfu Mary Combo" Smith and Li Wei and the iron triangle of the Pittsburgh Steelers was obviously more favorable for television ratings.
Naturally, the Pittsburgh Steelers received unanimous support.
Does this scene seem familiar?
In the first Arican League Divisional Round, the Kansas City Chiefs were treated the sa way.
But then, the Kansas City Chiefs stunned everyone with a breathtaking upset over the New England Patriots, causing all of the dia to bend the knee and sing their praises like fair-weather friends. What about the Jacksonville Jaguars?
The team's general manager, Caldwell, said with a laugh, "Heh, I still have a score to settle with Kansas concerning the draft."
Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars made their statent.
"45:42".
The underdogs triumphed once again, as the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second ti that season, perfectly mirroring the Kansas City Chiefs' performance against the New England Patriots and pulling off a modest upset.
But the course was slightly different.
The Jacksonville Jaguars showed strength, and while people were expecting a tedious defensive battle, nobody anticipated that both teams, known for strong defensive performances throughout the season, would fall silent. Instead, the offensive groups stood up and took control of the ga, engaging in an all-out offensive battle.
Among them, Fournette, the Jaguars' first-round fourth pick rookie running back, shone, excelling not only in rushing but also receiving, as if ready to compete with Li Wei. His athletic and powerful presence dominated the field, helping the visiting team achieve a "28:14" lead by halfti.
The Pittsburgh Steelers never gave up on the ga, rallying back in the second half and narrowing the score to within three points with a touchdown during the two-minute warning.
However, the Jacksonville Jaguars disrupted the Steelers' gamble on a kick and held on to their victory with gritted teeth, ending the ga.
Fournette, the star of the ga, did not fade in comparison to Li Wei. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Rushing for 109 yards, receiving 76 yards, with three touchdowns.
The rookie running back finally showed his ttle when it mattered most.
After the ga, Fournette struggled to contain himself during an interview.
"I said I would prove myself. Now, here I stand."
Although Fournette did not specify who he was addressing, everyone knew the target of his words.
All season long, the dia had been waiting for a rookie to step up and keep pace with Li Wei, and it took until the playoffs for the excitent to finally ignite.
Caldwell: Hey, Kansas, I'm here to settle the account.
Nonetheless, Fournette was still too reserved and dull, hardly making a peep the whole season, and no spark between him and Li Wei was seen. Instead, the controversy erupted at the Steelers' post-ga press conference following their defeat.
The atmosphere was already tense at the venue when a reporter questioned quarterback Roethlisberger.
"Big Ben, before the ga, you seed to have underestimated Li Wei."
"Your exact words were—"
To prove his innocence, the reporter even displayed his phone to Roethlisberger, showing the article from the previous week's "The Washington Post" and reading the text word for word.
"'Everyone has a mouth, but unfortunately, not everyone has a brain; it doesn't matter if you can't understand your own worth, next week co to Pittsburgh, and let daddy teach you a lesson. To be honest, I didn't even consider him a threat; our opponent is in Foxborough'."
"So, do you have anything to respond now?"
```
Roethlisberger had such a gloomy look on his face that it seed he could wring water out of it: "Don't ntion it, my dignity is completely lost. There's no need to repeat every single word I said, seriously, there's no need. Who hasn't done sothing stupid before?"
But thought is one thing, reality another.
Frustrated and angry, under everyone's watchful eyes, Roethlisberger replied with a face full of disdain.
"Heh."
"Li Wei? He's just a system player."
"The Kansas City Chiefs are a great team, they have a group of excellent players, and Li Wei is surrounded by a bunch of talented teammates, so I'm not surprised they're winning gas, but please, stop hyping up that rookie. I'm embarrassed for you all. Is this what you call professionalism?"
In Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger was notorious for flipping out on anyone, including the Pittsburgh Steelers fans, who he didn't spare from his tirades either.
His disputes with Steelers fans, getting into scuffles, and even having the police called were not just one-ti news events.
A re Li Wei?
Roethlisberger didn't care in the least.
The air was instantly filled with the sll of gunpowder.
The dia exchanged glances: Li Wei? The player who had heart-stopping monts in wildcard and divisional rounds, pulling off ga-winning plays at the last minute, "that catch" was definitely not just a result of help from talented teammates, Big Ben, are you sure?
But the dia weren't about to enlighten Roethlisberger.
With a turn, the dia then tossed Roethlisberger's words over to Li Wei.
And then, Li Wei uttered a classic quote that would be talked about all over the North Arican continent.
"It doesn't matter to ,"
"because I'm preparing for the upcoming Arican League championship ga, while he is wearing his fancy Louis Vuitton outfits, holding a can of White-Claw, curled up in his boyfriend's arms on the couch, crying."
Firepower! Full blast!
White-Claw, a hard seltzer that's taken off at full speed in North Arica this year, is low in alcohol and similar to sparkling water, widely popular among girls.
Li Wei's face remained calm as he outlined a scene in a breezy tone. The reporters imagined it for a mont—the image of Roethlisberger's huge fra curled up in shyness and silently shedding tears—
Pfft.
But this ti, no dia dared to seek out Roethlisberger for a response: That would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's den.
So, no one knew how Roethlisberger reacted to this coback, and it's likely nobody within the Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to know either.
Then, attention turned elsewhere.
The last wildcard ga saw the New Orleans Saints going up against the Minnesota Vikings in an away ga.
Wait, could it be Li Wei again?
Li Wei: Off duty, do not disturb.
Even though Li Wei is currently in high demand, with the NFL official backing him, a tiny spark could ignite a huge energy. But is it really necessary to involve Li Wei in everything? It's all over with the sa na. Seriously, I'm going to throw up. Can't the dia co up with so new tricks for making news?
But the problem is, this ga really did have sothing to do with Li Wei.
Now Li Wei finally understood the exasperated sentint once expressed by the diva Faye Wong:
My trouble? My trouble is that I'm too popular.
