Three consecutive championships, is it possible?
Since the birth of the Super Bowl, it has been 48 years. Seven teams have completed the defending nine times, including the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers twice, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers twice.
But so far, no team can complete three consecutive championships!
In fact, not to mention three consecutive championships, even for the feat of breaking into the Super Bowl for three consecutive years, only two teams have completed in the history. The first one is the Miami Dolphins in 1971, 1972 and 1973 seasons. However, the team lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the 1971 season; the second team was Buffalo Bill from 1990 to 1993, and broke into the Super Bowl for four consecutive seasons but lost all four times in a row.
In other words, only the Miami Dolphins have ever been close to three consecutive championships, but in reality, in the Super Bowl on January 16, 1972, the Miami Dolphins lost to the Dallas Cowboys with a score of "3:24" There were almost no performances and opportunities in the audience.
This is all!
In the long history, there have been two teams that reached the height of four years and three championships. One was the Dallas Cowboys from 1992 to 1995. However, in the 1994 season, the San Francisco 49ers crushed the Dallas Cowboys three consecutive championships. Dream; the other is the New England Patriots from the 2001 season to the 2004 season, of which the New England Patriots failed to enter the playoffs in the 2002 season, and lost to the Denver Broncos in the 2005 season.
Fate is really interesting, isn't it? The San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos have sniped two four-year triple-crown teams to achieve the feat of the dynasty, and then wrote the miracle and history on the Super Bowl stage this year. The score of "54:57" should be It is an insurmountable peak.
So, will the San Francisco 49ers have a chance to break the spell and complete the first three consecutive championships in history?
In the 2011 season, the final of the National League of Falcons; 2012 season, reached the Super Bowl; 2013 season, defending champion; 2014 season, what will be the end?
Just ten full seasons after the New England Patriots missed the three consecutive championships, the San Francisco 49ers once again ushered in the opportunity to challenge the three consecutive championships-now it is not just theoretically possible, when the San Francisco 49ers in the postseason When the four games in the game showed unparalleled dominance, the theory may have become the focus of heated discussion now. It is conceivable that after the opening of the new season, the entire league will inevitably attract attention.
The defending season is extremely difficult. So, what about the second defending season-or more accurately, the season of three consecutive championships?
The official channel of the NFL TV station was produced through the video of the top 100 superstars, and the signal of "three consecutive championships" was revealed slightly, and then it triggered a heated discussion in the entire league!
The famous Madden game took the lead in expressing "support", and the company officially launched "Madden-15 (Madden-15)". The cover character is San Francisco 49ers Lu Ke on the 14th!
As the most popular football game in the United States, Madden ’s position and value are unquestionable. Madden, which updates a version every year, also maintains a tradition. Every year, a new version of the game will choose a new cover character, and each It is the top popular superstar in the league who can be on the cover!
But what makes people laugh is that the "Madden Curse" is an lingering anecdote in the league: that is, every player who appears on the cover of Madden may suffer a sharp decline in performance in the new season, and may even encounter Injury and direct season reimbursement is like Sun Wukong's cursed spell.
The cover of "Madden 2004" chose the Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, but he suffered serious injuries in the preseason and missed 11 games of the season. After returning in the 13th week of the regular season, he performed badly. In four games, only four touchdowns and three interceptions were completed.
This is also known as the origin of the "Madden Curse".
The cover of "Maddon 06" is the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan-McNabb. After four wins and five losses, he was directly reimbursed for the season and handed over the worst season of his career.
The cover of "Maiden 07" was won by Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun-Alexander. He suffered two serious injuries throughout the season and nearly reimbursed his career.
And so on, since the selection of real players as the cover in 1998, in just 15 years, "Madden Curse" has created many "brilliant" records, and even the game company even ridiculed themselves: they should make A movie called "Madden's Curse"; but not all players are troubled by this curse. Compared with the regular season yard king curse, the power seems to be ineffective from time to time.
"Madden 11" chose New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and performed very well. He passed the regular season with the yard king, 11 wins and 5 losses, and was successfully selected for the professional bowl, but he is not sure whether it is " "Magic effect", this season, Brice came out with a career-high twenty-two interception, which has not been broken so far.
"Maiden 2005" is the Baltimore Ravens linebacker Lewis Lewis dedicated one of the league's most dominant seasons. All statistics are popular across the board and selected for the first team and professional bowl in the United States. It is still one of his most outstanding seasons. .
"Madden 13" chose the Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. As a result, Calvin made the so-called curse a joke and became the first wide receiver in league history to reach 2,000 yards in a single season. Among the top 100 superstar votes, Calvin was second only to two top quarterbacks and ranked third.
Now, it's Lu Ke's turn.
Putting aside the "Madden Curse", Madden chose Lu Ke as the cover. This is a bold and innovative move. This not only made Lu Ke the first Chinese player to appear on the cover of Madden, but also the fourth in the United States. It was the first time in the big sports league that Lu Ke's unparalleled strong appeal in the NFL was felt positively, and all discrimination and prejudice were completely smashed, which truly declared Lu Ke's elite status.
As soon as Madden released the cover characters, there was a lot of discussion on the social network. Obviously, not every fan would like to see such a result.
"God bless Bambi, I now think three consecutive crowns are hanging."
"No, no, no! I'm looking forward to watching San Francisco win three consecutive championships, this is done."
"Bambi wants a match? Madden has predicted."
"Bambi, who came home with the second Super Bowl trophy, was directly stunned."
"Bad news, the San Francisco congregation will say: No, no, we will not."
"Congratulations! Bambi officially unlocked the" Magic Package "service, and the 2014 season is in danger."
"Is it the only one who finds Bambi really handsome?"
"The last time Madden chose quarterback was Drew Brees in 2011? A little expectation, I wonder if Bambi will be affected by the spell this time."
"I was injured once last season. Is this season going to continue?"
"Look forward, look forward to it! Buy it as soon as you are ready to release it, but ... Nine people should n’t laugh?"
"Seeing the Madden cover, the Seattle Seahawks smiled, and Richard Sherman smiled."
...
The last topic is from the deadly knot of the Western League of the League of Nations, and also from the final alternate of Madden's cover-in the game company's cover alternate selection, the top three players are Lu Ke and Richard Xie Erman and Payton Manning, then Lu Ke successfully won the cover.
For Seattle Seahawks fans, Sherman successfully got rid of the "Madden Curse", which is undoubtedly a good thing.
Whether it is a good thing or a curse, it can be seen from the selection of the cover characters of the Madden game. They are very optimistic about Lu Ke ’s three consecutive championship journey. The young quarterback has proved himself through the excellent performance of the past three seasons. His strength and ability have also proved his heart as a champion. So, why not challenge three consecutive championships?
From defending the Super Bowl to winning the Super Bowl MVP, from the selection of the top 100 superstars to the cover of the Madden game, Lu Ke ’s super popularity can be felt all over the league, inside and out, and then look back at the professional bowl week. Pepsi said that everyone couldn't help but marvel at Indra-Luy's determination and wisdom.
Once upon a time, Roger Goodell was persistently and continuously promoting Lu Ke, determined to make Lu Ke a signboard of the NFL, looking forward to opening the global market outside North America, so that the market value of the NFL is also reflected on the players. To create more business benefits.
Everyone knows that compared to basketball and football, the number of rugby players is actually too much, which also means that the market value is allocated to those top players, and the ultimate player's personal highest value or average player value is far from It cannot be compared with basketball and football, let alone individual sports such as tennis, golf, boxing, etc., to a certain extent, it also restricts the further promotion of the commercial value of rugby.
According to the original pace, the NFL is developing and expanding in an orderly manner. Goodell is always working hard, which is why he has the majority of the support of the thirty-two team bosses; and now, Goodell has found a breakthrough: Lu Ke! Perhaps Lu Ke ’s appeal in North America cannot be comparable to that of Big Manning and Brady-after all, Chinese identity is still limited; but in the global market, Chinese identity can be an advantage.
Not only for the Asian market, but also for other markets such as Europe, Oceania and South America, because Chinese people represent cultural diversity and mean that young people on other lands can also participate In the NFL, it is like the top five football leagues in Europe and the NBA.
Goodell has tapped Lu Ke's commercial value with a spiteful and veteran vision, and has been unwaveringly promoting since the 2011 season. Throughout the process, he was burdened with doubts and challenges, burdened with exclusion and decay. Goodell also I haven't changed my mind, now it's finally time to harvest
To be more precise, Lu Ke's performance is far and far beyond Goodall's imagination, whether it is the performance of the field or the commercial value. Lech-Steinberg saw what Goodall did not see. The part that has arrived has truly become the first person in the NFL today!
