Chapter 1068: 1067 Burning Universe

Watt, awesome!

Everyone knows this; in the past two years, due to Aaron Donald’s strong rise, the entire league has been debating who is stronger between these two defensive talents, with professionals divided and unable to reach a consensus.

However, now Li Wei has the answer—

Watt.

Without a doubt.

Moreover, Watt surpasses Donald by more than just one level.

No intention to belittle Donald; Li Wei has great respect for him too. Donald’s bull rush remains the league’s unsolvable blitz.

But Donald only has one move.

To be objective, mastering one move to perfection can still dominate the league, and that’s exactly the case with Donald. This move is too powerful, too fierce, leading him two whole levels ahead of others, so naturally, he doesn’t need other skills. Each time he unleashes this move, it solves the problem.

The issue lies in the fact that Donald’s one move is heavily reliant on his physical condition.

Putting aside potential injury risks and the decline in physical abilities with age, purely from a day-to-day status view, if Donald is unwell or not performing well, his one move fails.

In a sense, Donald is like a running back.

And Donald’s problem is that when his one move fails, his overall combat quality drops significantly; his other abilities aren’t enough to exert sufficient pressure.

So, even as a running back, Donald is most similar to “Beast Mode” Lynch.

However, Watt is different.

Physicality is fundamental to everything, undoubtedly. Watt is a beast-level player, intimidating, and many of his confrontations rely on physicality indeed.

But the difference is, he doesn’t rely solely on physicality.

Technique. Tactics. Observation. Anticipation.

These are all part of Watt’s capabilities.

In fact, Watt is a player who uses his brain to play. His comprehensive skills allow him to cover different positions in the defensive group, then through his observation and anticipation, make accurate choices to hurt the offensive group.

For this reason, even when Watt’s physical condition can’t keep up with the game’s intensity, he still possesses potential to tap into.

And today, in the second quarter, Watt showed why he can be considered a strong candidate for the GOAT title.

As a defensive end, yet Coach O’Brien used Watt as a lineman—

Pressure. Blitz. Tackling. Blocking. Passing. Backup defense.

Watt’s presence was ubiquitous in the area within five yards up and down the kick line, with an explosive power that was hard to believe.

Dominance!

Even though the Kansas City Chiefs attempted to use the Read Option Offense to break the deadlock, Watt’s unparalleled performance put enormous pressure on Mahomes.

Even the commentators exclaimed, “Peak Watt is back.”

Two sacks, two effective hits, one disrupted pass, all within just one quarter; Watt’s defense on Mahomes was evident.

Two stops on Li Wei, two joint defenses on Kelsey, covering the entire field.

The first half’s best showdown came from the peak rivalry between Watt and Li Wei.

Mahomes directly handed the football to Li Wei without fake moves. Li Wei used a quick start to gain the initiative, tried to break through Watt’s fake actions, and after a feint, managed a misdirected change between Watt’s arms.

Watt’s tackle was halfway done but failed to secure it, allowing Li Wei to escape.

However, Watt’s second reaction was swift, pivoting like a top around his right leg, making a flying hit before Li Wei could accelerate.

The hit wasn’t the focus; Watt jabbed upwards from Li Wei’s left hand while losing balance and attempting a tackle. Watt’s incredible reaction caught the key moment, and that was the highlight.

The football soared back into the air.

Li Wei, struck, lost balance, and simultaneously lost possession, thrown into chaos—

It’s known that Li Wei’s ball protection has always been top-notch in the league, having only two recorded fumbles in his third NFL season, setting a new league record.

Yet Watt managed to disrupt Li Wei’s ball protection during the split-second high-stakes collision.

The audience gasped.

Just when Watt and Li Wei seemed doomed, Watt once again performed a life-risking top-tier defense as Li Wei exhibited his ability at the critical moment.

As his body lost balance and was about to fall, Li Wei pushed forward with one kick off the ground, maintaining an almost parallel alignment to the field, remarkably completing a 180-degree spin, facing skyward, extending his arms incredibly to re-secure the freely floating football.

Once again securing the ball possession.

Not only secured, he exhibited “Huaxia Kung Fu,” using a crossing river with a single reed technique to defy gravity while his back was about to land, advancing two more steps.

Finally, he fell.

Watt’s defense was spectacular, Li Wei’s rescue was stunning, but Watt ultimately prevailed. Despite Li Wei’s miraculous recovery of possession and continued advancement, the Houston Texans circled around and still managed to strike out the Kansas City Chiefs.

This offensive-defensive exchange was the highlight of the second quarter—

Watt, Watt, and still Watt.

The Kansas Chiefs Offense remained outstanding but faced with Watt’s stormy defense, Li Wei barely held on as his form intensified.

And Mahomes obviously felt enormous pressure, only making one interception in the first half already seemed fortunate, with a passing completion rate below 50%, highlighting Mahomes’ youth. Even though there has been significant progress this season, ultimately, it’s only his second starting season.

Under the tempestuous pressure, Mahomes’ passes were shattered. No wonder the Kansas City Chiefs hadn’t used “Cheating Motion”; such a strategy was not mature enough, and with Mahomes’ passing success rate unsteady, using it might lead to mistakes.

Watt, like a mountain, stood immovably in front of the Kansas Chiefs Offense, showcasing an invincible presence.

Undoubtedly, this is a GOAT-level performance.

Even Coach Burns admitted that Watt went wild today.

Last season’s playoffs, Watt had always hoped to reach the American League finals to face off with Li Wei again, but regrettably fell in the wild card games once again. Although Watt never showed it, he had always been cheering on himself in his own way.

Today, after being overwhelmed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first quarter, Watt’s fighting spirit finally awakened.

With Watt’s unparalleled performance, the offense led by Watson finally gained momentum.

Objectively speaking, though Watson might seem inferior compared to young stars like Jackson, Mahomes; entering his third year, he has indeed welcomed comprehensive growth and transformation.

Especially in passing.

Watson’s passing ability is not the best, but it’s sufficient—not dragging up the rear, and coupled with excellent ground running capability, the offensive drive has become evidently stable.

Thus, what the Baltimore Ravens couldn’t achieve, the Houston Texans did—

Entering halftime with a lead.

The entire league exclaimed in shock; no one expected it, absolutely no one!
