Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1033 Young and energetic
"Jackson made a short pass to his most trusted target, tight end Andrews, and completed the connection..."

"Pressure! Jackson is moving, Jackson is getting rid of it, Jackson completes the pass before being sacked, beautiful, the third-down conversion is completed!"

"This time it's... Oh! A gap! Jackson ran with the ball, and the Kansas City Chiefs' defense had a gap, so they failed to intercept in time. Jackson advanced six yards with the ball!"

Jackson! Jackson! Jackson again!
Lamar Jackson is on fire and putting on a great show.

Everything was just as Reed expected.

Inspired by Levi's outstanding performance, Jackson also actively adjusted his state, not only continuing the morale since the opening, but also taking his firepower to a higher level.

In this wave of offense, Harbaugh unexpectedly arranged several read-option offenses, and Jackson used his physical talents in passing and running to the fullest, making him worthy of being the hottest quarterback in the league so far this season, even slightly suppressing Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense also increased its intensity, exerting tremendous pressure on the defensive front. The combination of Jones and Clark was showing its power, forcing the Baltimore Ravens into a third-gear dilemma twice.

However, Jackson converted all of them successfully.

Since the opening, the Baltimore Ravens have maintained a 100% conversion rate in the third and fourth gears, which also proves that Jackson has withstood the test at the critical moment and has performed at the top level in the strong collision.

It is indeed an eye-opener.

This season, one of the biggest gains from Harbaugh's offseason training, besides Jackson, is undoubtedly the growth and transformation of the receiving corps.

In the first game of the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens' receiving yardage leader was wide receiver Marquise Brown, the 25th overall pick in the first round of this year.

In the second game of the regular season, the receiving yards leader became tight end Nick Boyle, the starting tight end of the Baltimore Ravens last season, but he missed the game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a mid-season injury.

Coming to the current game, Jackson's most trusted passing target is tight end Mark Andrews. The 2018 third-round pick showed top form last season and is taking turns competing with Boyle for the starting position this season.

Three games, three passing strategies.

What does this mean?
Firstly, the Kansas City Chiefs' second line of defense had more and more targets to guard and be vigilant against, and Jackson's passing targets were scattered all over the field.

Secondly, Jackson's growth during the offseason is indeed worthy of attention, and his understanding of different passing tactics systems is surprising.

So, in the third and fourth down situations, the Baltimore Ravens used new tactics one after another, like a magician. Now it's early in the season and early in the game, and the Kansas City Chiefs haven't had time to fully understand what's hidden in Hubble's sleeves.

Jackson, full of confidence, successfully turned the situation around, successfully continuing the trend of strong collisions since the start of the game, and launching a head-on collision without giving an inch.

The game really lived up to everyone's expectations. On the basis of the strong match between the two teams last year, it went a step further. One team grew rapidly and the other team became more mature. Whether it was tactical layout or on-the-spot performance, it was comprehensively upgraded to a higher level, easily triggering the Thursday night game frenzy.

Wonderful, no boring moments throughout!

One step, then another, Jackson has led the Baltimore Ravens offense across half court and approaching the 40-yard line, only one step away from the free kick area.

Across the front line, Jones could see Jackson's bloodshot eyes, murderous intent in them, a powerful energy burning throughout his body, and he was determined to win this wave of attack.

Obviously, Jackson will not be satisfied with a free kick, a touchdown is the only pursuit of the Baltimore Ravens now.

This also further verifies Jones's speculation:

Jackson is competing with Levi. He not only wants to complete a touchdown, but also wants to complete a stunning touchdown like Levi.

So, a little detail is:

Although the Baltimore Ravens passed and ran to fully open up the game; running back Ingram did not hold the ball and ran the entire time, the focus was always on Jackson.

Jackson runs the ball, Jackson passes the ball, Jackson escapes the tackle, it's all Jackson.

Such thinking is very dangerous in football games. Just like in basketball and football, if one person is eager to be a hero, the team's tactics may become a mere decoration. For round-based football, this may mean that they completely lose the head coach's advantage in the game, which is especially taboo for the quarterback, the brain of the team.

However, this is a good thing for the defense.

"attack!"

Jackson called the game open again.

Jones immediately stepped forward and tried to break through the offensive line. Amid the sound of muscles colliding, Jones was able to catch a glimpse of a red figure cutting into the black wave and making a strong breakthrough.

Frank Clark: (23:26)

Since joining the team this season, although Clark has been taciturn and not very sociable, his training and game performances have always been positive and impressive. It can be seen that he is trying to integrate into the team as soon as possible and prove himself.

In a team that is completely overturned and rebuilt, Clark has every opportunity to regain his footing and start a new career.

The current situation is no exception.

This time, the Kansas City Chiefs chose five players to rush the pass. Reid hoped to put enough pressure on Jackson on the first down and ten yards to establish an advantage for the subsequent defense.

With the defense tirelessly applying pressure, the Kansas City Chiefs added a linebacker to break the balance and finally created an opportunity.

Clark led the way, cutting into the pocket and chasing Jackson.

However, it is not that simple.

Jackson was agile and nimble, and seemed to have been prepared. Before Clark could get close, he moved away and kept his distance.

Jones noticed: Clark attacked from the blind side, and Jackson should have been caught off guard, but Jackson was prepared.

This means... long pass?
Jones didn't have time to look back and see the receiver's running route. He held his breath, shook off the opposing offensive lineman, and cut into the pocket with one step.

Following the middle path, the tiger descends the mountain.

But Jones did not rush to sack Jackson. He knew Jackson's athletic talent and it would be difficult to sack him easily at this moment when he was in the dominant position.

Jones pretended to move forward, but he kept his center of gravity light, waiting patiently, watching Clark pursue Jackson.

Then, Jackson finally prepared to pass the ball.

Jones stood up straight suddenly, raised his hands high like a black bear, and waved his arms like windshield wipers, forcing Jackson to raise the parabola of the pass, otherwise Jones would be able to block the shot.

really!

Jackson's eyes revealed a hint of determination and resoluteness. He gritted his teeth, raised the ball up in a parabolic trajectory, and refused to give in. His arm strength exploded instantly. He swung his arms vigorously, and a roar erupted from deep in his dantian. The football rushed towards the halo in the sky.

Fly, penetrate, sprint.

Finally, a roar broke out at Arrowhead Stadium—

"Intercept!"

"It's an interception!"
