Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1386 Caught in the act
Last season, the read-option offense of running quarterbacks was still the mainstream of the league. When the New England Patriots played against the Kansas City Chiefs, Belichick was always on guard against Mahomes' read-option offense.

But since the Los Angeles Rams advanced to the Super Bowl, the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers have risen this season, the read option offense has developed again, and the modern outside zone offense system is becoming a new trend in the league.

Naturally, when running quarterbacks choose to run the read option, they can cover in the template of a modern outside zone offense.

Simply put, in the modern outside zone offense system, pocket quarterbacks often use ground offense to cover passing offense, and the essence is still passing; running quarterbacks are different. They can use running backs as bait, control the football themselves, and evolve into more changes.

This is also Mahomes' forte.

Of course, there are Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson and so on, and Deshaun Watson is naturally not willing to lag behind.

So, Chris Jones has been waiting, waiting for Watson's moment to show himself, not only because Watson is eager to show himself and prove himself, but also because of the constant interference and pressure from the Kansas Chiefs. Everything is leading Watson to try to confront with his body.

In other words, run the ball.

What if Watson didn't fall for it and continued to pass the ball?
It doesn't matter, Jones will continue to apply pressure and continue to disrupt the passing vision.

Therefore, the key is not to hesitate or think too much, but to implement it resolutely.

As soon as the ball was kicked off, Jones noticed the movements of Watson and Hyde, and immediately followed suit, breaking away from the offensive line and rushing towards Watson regardless of anything.

Hyde stepped forward immediately to intercept Sorensen's attack, but Jones cut in from the side without any hesitation, his eyes fixed on Watson.

Watson followed behind Hyde, preparing to break through with the ball.

Run the ball. Of course, run the ball.

So far in today's game, Watson has never run with the ball, relying entirely on passing to open up the game; but now, in the third-and-6 situation, the Kansas Chiefs are 100% sure that they will continue to choose to pass the ball, which happens to be the opportunity to run the ball.

Before kickoff, Watson had made up his mind.

While following closely, Watson did not forget to look up. The close end was being closely guarded, but a figure not far away was waving vigorously to attract his attention to indicate that there was an opening there -

Hopkins?

Watson was stunned. How could it be Hopkins? Hopkins was not the main target of defense, but there was an obvious gap?
So should he choose to pass the ball? At this time, Hopkins has already run eight yards. As long as the pass is connected successfully, the first attack will be easy.

It was this brief hesitation, one millisecond, or perhaps even shorter than a millisecond. Watson was not even aware of his hesitation, but it played a key role in the ever-changing arena. Watson caught a ball of red flame on his blind side on his left hand side and rushed over with unstoppable force and regardless of anything.

Looking closely, there was a white storm behind the red flame. The Houston Texans' offensive linemen were relentless, risking a pulling foul, and holding Jones's jersey tightly, completely ignoring the yellow flag, trying to stop Jones; but Jones's momentum was too determined and too strong, and he still dragged the white storm towards him.

Watson was startled and subconsciously moved his feet, trying to get away.

However, Jones was completely mad with rage. He seized the brief hesitation of Watson and, completely ignoring the tail behind him, pushed off the ground and pounced.

Jones jumped into the air and instantly grabbed Watson's waist.

Caught in the act!

Watson tried to break free by pushing off the ground continuously, and managed to escape when Jones' grip was unstable and his center of gravity was off.

Collision! Stalemate! Wrestling!

Watson and Jones were entangled in a stalemate, gritting their teeth. At this moment, Sorensen had broken away from Hyde and pounced on Watson with his fangs and claws.

Watson had no time to react. Everything went dark before his eyes, and the next second the whole world tilted 90 degrees and collapsed.

"Capture and kill!"

"God, this...this should count as a sack?"

"Although Watson was ready to run with the ball himself, he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage, which was a sack." "The Kansas City Chiefs' repeated pressure finally turned into a fatal blow, ending the Houston Texans' offense cleanly and neatly."

"strike out!"

Watson felt dizzy and dazed. He couldn't believe that this was supposed to be his shining moment but he ended up in disgrace.

Damn it!

Watson got up quickly, and before he could even find his footing, a torrential rain poured down on Hyde.

It's all Hyde's fault. If Hyde had picked off Sorenson, if Hyde's ground attack had been more realistic, the result would not have been like this.

Grass. Grass. Grass. Grass!

Hyde was stunned. He didn't even come to his senses and was caught in the storm with his eyes blank.

"Watson." O'Brien tried to control the situation, "Deshawn! Calm down, calm down!"

This is just the beginning, there is no need to be so impatient.

But Watson didn't think so. He didn't even dare to look at Levi, because he knew that Levi would not miss the opportunity, 100%, Levi would seize the opportunity and continue to exert further pressure continuously, aggressively, until they were overwhelmed.

Then, Levi will have the last laugh again.

Just a thought almost overwhelmed Watson. He couldn't lose, especially not lose to Levi again after defeating Jackson.

Watson turned to O'Brien, "What should we do? What should we do? Coach, tell me, what should we do?"

Could it be... forced into fourth gear?
Four gears and seven numbers.

An idea flashed through O'Brien's mind, but only for a moment, and he felt it was too risky.

If we fail, we won’t even have a chance for a free kick.

It is only the first quarter and they still have a chance. There is no need to rush into it. They should calm down and take a long-term view, especially as the momentum of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense is tightening the noose around their necks little by little. They need to let the Kansas City Chiefs' touch cool down.

Next, it's up to the Houston Texans defense to stop Mahomes and Levi.

Right, that is it.

In just a moment, O'Brien made his choice and called Watson down, "Calm down, the game has just started, we are still holding on tightly, aren't we?"

Watson, "But..." But Levi would not let go of the opportunity.

O'Brien, "No buts. Remember, we can beat any opponent, any, we still believe it."

O'Brien patted Watson on the shoulder, pushed Watson to sit next to him, regained his composure, and directed the special team to come on the court.

Reed immediately noticed the opponent's confusion, and the special team immediately tried to disrupt the free kick.

opportunity.

Although not on offense or defense, the special teams can still play a key role. Reed noticed the fluctuations of O'Brien and Watson and mobilized them at the first time, further exerting pressure on the Houston Texans through the special teams.

Reed, strikes again.
