Despair.
Gronkowski looked at the locker room assistant, lifelessly. Losing tonight was already despairing enough, but the only consolation was that the season was finally over, though the Pro Bowl was still to come, the vacation had started.
However, who would have thought, it would be snatched away right before their eyes.
The locker room assistant was completely oblivious to the suffocating stillness around him, but he knew the news on social media wasn't friendly, and he hesitated.
But it was Brady; could he refuse him?
He couldn't.
Brady grabbed his phone, he didn't even need to type in keywords to see his timeline filled with news of the American League division game.
"Li Wei: New England Patriots performed flawlessly, but victory belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Smith Wanfu Mary, Li Wei one-handed catch, Kansas City Chiefs end New England Patriots' six-year streak of advancing to American League finals."
"'That catch' stole an epic victory from Gillette Stadium."
