Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 905: 904 superheroes

At this moment, Li Wei has completely overturned the twenty-year status quo of the league—

Football is no longer just the sport of quarterbacks.

Thirty years ago, football was a golden age when quarterbacks and running backs flourished side by side, with countless legendary running backs leaving their mark in the annals of history.

But over the past twenty years, driven by television broadcasts, the dominance of viewership ratings, and the pursuit of profits, the league has continuously modified its rules to provide increasing protection for quarterbacks. The power of passing offenses skyrocketed, changing the tactical playbook of football, and quarterbacks rose to an unparalleled stature.

In the last decade, running backs, once the core of teams, have been gradually marginalized, even viewed as “disposable assets,” facing comprehensive disregard.

But now, because of Li Wei, the keywords “Asian,” “rookie,” “running back” collide and intertwine; with his regular-season MVP performance and his crowning as Super Bowl MVP, he’s shaking the foundation of the league, quietly pulling the spotlight back towards running backs and reminding fans with his actions:

Running backs remain an indispensable part of football; they continue to evolve, advancing from the simplistic role of brute-force tanks to players who fully exhibit strength and intelligence, speed and agility. Running backs can still play the role of game-changers.

Eyes are now eagerly drawn in. Running backs, long absent in the spotlight, once again take center stage—but not solely running backs.

Centered around the “Li Wei VS Donald” clash of titans, the discourse has dramatically shifted. Running backs, defensive tackles, defensive ends, wide receivers, tight ends, cornerbacks, linemen… and more.

Players in other positions have received unprecedented attention this season.
