Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1388 No mercy
Strictly speaking, you can no longer feel the cold at this point. After being thoroughly warmed up, your body enters another state, just like soaking in a hot spring.

But in fact, this is an illusion, an illusion that the brain deceives itself.

Although they could not feel the cold, their physical energy consumption rate was obviously accelerated. Their instantaneous explosive power, follow-up ability and secondary reaction speed were all slowing down. The fierce collision made the players on the court breathless. The intense burning sensation in a short period of time was quickly draining their bodies.

Looking at the stadium, the scene of steam rising up is eye-catching.

Because of this, both sides are rotating players, but this situation is beneficial to the Houston Texans. Although the defense is in a passive state and physical consumption is more serious, they have been facing such a dilemma throughout the season, but at this time they are familiar with it and are not at all confused.

Relatively speaking, the Kansas City Chiefs have encountered some injury problems this season, but not as bad as imagined. The main lineup has not been greatly affected. After experiencing the running and fighting throughout the undefeated season, the main players have been subjected to more severe and demanding tests both mentally and physically.

Entering the final stage of the federation, a game is not only a test of tactics, condition, ability, but also psychology and will.

In this regard, the Kansas City Chiefs are absolutely confident that they will not be afraid of any opponent.

At the critical moment, Levi appeared again.

In an instant, you could feel all eyes focused on Levi, including Watt. No words were needed. The nerves of the Houston Texans' defense were all tense again. Arrowhead Stadium erupted with amazing energy, and the mighty heat wave cheered for Levi.

Levi and Damien high-fived the handover and came to Mahomes.

"Play a routine." Levi conveyed the coach's idea to Mahomes, "Try to bring the rhythm as much as possible. Don't worry about the third and fourth gears. We will play hard."

In short, no mob attack.

Reed knew that both sides were now consuming a huge amount of energy and the situation was in a stalemate. They could choose to continue attacking and force their way forward with the tactic of killing one thousand and injuring eight hundred of their own. He believed that the Kansas Chiefs had the ability to do so; but they could also choose to gamble and break the deadlock with a light and nimble attack.

Of course, this faces the risk of failure. If any link goes wrong, the attack may come to an abrupt end, especially now when physical energy is severely depleted, the error rate is greatly increased.

However, in Reid's opinion, they are now leading in the score and it is still the first half, so it is worth taking the risk. Even if they fail, they still have confidence.

Mahomes took a deep breath and nodded slightly to Levi to show that he understood.

Turning around, Mahomes fulfilled his quarterback duties and completed the tactical layout.

When they started attacking again, the Houston Texans' attention was obviously on Levi, wondering if Levi, who had just returned from a break, had any secret weapons hidden, which caused the defense to be distracted for a short time; as a result, the Kansas City Chiefs relied on the short-frequency and fast strategy of quick short passes and screen short passes to advance.

Each pass was only three or four yards, all running routines. Mahomes didn't give Watt a chance to get close and forced the connection forward.

Six passes and four hits.

Sure enough, due to physical constraints, the success rate fluctuated, but Mahomes still relied on the no-huddle offense to successfully win two first downs again.

At this time, the Houston Texans finally realized that Levi's appearance was just a smokescreen, and they were inevitably caught in Reed's shot. Crennel immediately made adjustments without much talk, and the Houston Texans also entered a defensive formation without a concentrated offensive state.

Man-to-man defense.

Since it is a non-huddle offense, zone defense is unreliable and may result in more yards lost, so they must rely on positional defense to stay in position.

At the same time, the strategy of applying pressure in the front court also needs to be changed, with surprise attacks being secondary and pass interference and indirect pressure being the main focus.

Immediately.

A pass was incomplete, and a short pass to Kelsey was successful but ran into two defenders and was knocked back. As a result, not only was the ball not advanced, but it also lost yards, and the dilemma of 3rd and 11 yards came. This crisis was worse than ever.

In a difficult situation, the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly gave the football to Levi, but on third down and 11 yards, they did not choose to pass the ball but instead chose to attack on the ground.

Reed's calculations were accurate. He deceived his opponents with a mixture of truth and falsehood, and used Levi to complete the ground advancement. No matter what, even if they couldn't get the first attack, they could still get a favorable free kick position; what's more, at the critical moment, Reed still chose to believe in Levi.

However, this time, someone took one more step—

JJ Watt!

"Grab!"

"Watt! Watt again! Watt again!"

"Watt went completely crazy today and is in peak form again!"

"Precise tackle! Levi crashed directly into the wall. Watt's agility and toughness cut off Levi's breakthrough intention in time. Watt completed a crucial defense!"

"strike out!"

"For the first time since the start of the game, the Houston Texans defense has completed a strikeout!"

Levi, head full of lumps.

The result of hitting the wall head-on was that the whole body was sore. Watt, the beast, was merciless. Levi felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Watt stood up first, stretched out his right hand towards Levi, with a smile on his face.

Levi grabbed Watt's right hand and was about to pull Watt down, but Watt was prepared and used the force to pull Levi up.

There is no doubt that Watt is now mad with rage. He is not going to let go of this opportunity easily. Even if his opponent is a good friend, he will go all out to win. He will forget all the tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion and enter a state of complete selflessness.

Levi stood up like a log and looked at Watt in astonishment.

Watt chuckled, didn't say much, patted Levi on the shoulder and turned to leave, but he never expected that the referee signaled that the Kansas City Chiefs would force a fourth gear.

Four gears and ten yards?

watt:???
The Kansas City Chiefs actually forced a fourth-and-10 play?
The live broadcast room, the TV, and Arrowhead Stadium were all in uproar. The Kansas City Chiefs gave up a free kick opportunity that was so close to them and forced a fourth-down play with such a long yardage?
In stark contrast to the Houston Texans' previous caution, the Kansas City Chiefs, who were in the lead, became more aggressive and tougher, which was shocking.

Watt's smile froze at the corners of his mouth. He turned his head blankly and looked over. This time it was Watt's turn to be stunned.

Sure enough, Watt saw the big smile on Levi's face and backed away: Strikeout? It's too early.

Watt took a deep breath, met Levi's gaze calmly, and the corners of his mouth rose. Fourth gear, then fourth gear, they will intercept it anyway, allowing them to gain a favorable starting position for Watson's attack.

They played in fourth gear, but there was no special treatment, and the interval was still 40 seconds. The Kansas City Chiefs were more organized and completed the formation immediately.

The suspense is here. How will the Kansas City Chiefs play in this offense?
From any perspective, fourth down and 10 yards is a super long number of yards, plus Levi just hit the wall, so choosing Mahomes to pass the ball is the right thing to do.

But the Kansas City Chiefs always play by their own rules. Is Reid really willing to follow the speculation and choose to pass the ball? Or will he continue to believe that the omnipotent Levi can create miracles?
