Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1398 It’s hard to sing alone
"13:28".

The score remains the same.

With two minutes and seventeen seconds left in the first half and three timeouts, the ball was in the hands of the Houston Texans.

Everything is possible. In an instant, the whole world spread out before Watson's eyes. He couldn't help but feel his blood boiling and his fighting spirit soaring.

Ambition rises again.

Facts have also proved that Watson does have the ability, O'Brien is indeed well prepared, and the Houston Texans' offensive group once again seized the opportunity.

One minute and forty-five seconds later, the Houston Texans had crossed the half court and entered the thirty-five-yard line on the Kansas City Chiefs' side; but it was obvious that O'Brien would not be satisfied with a free kick, they desperately needed a touchdown.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs defense was not to be outdone and gave their opponents a wake-up call, forcing Watson to make a hasty shot with a pass rush:
The pass was incomplete.

Coupled with the effective stop of running back Hyde on the first down and 10 yards, the Kansas City Chiefs forced the Houston Texans to face the dilemma of third down and 10 yards.

O'Brien was forced to use the second timeout to re-arrange his tactics.

Just forty seconds later, Watson called the shot.

"attack!"

The collision instantly created a rolling wave of air, and the Houston Texans' offensive line consciously spread out, in a one-on-one position, to firmly contain the potential surprise attacks of the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive line. This was a brand new attempt.

Because the Kansas City Chiefs only have three defensive linemen, even if the linebackers step up, they are firmly locked in their positions by the one-on-one matchup. Unless the Kansas City Chiefs choose to rush the ball with six players, it will be difficult to break through at this time.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not.

In fact, Chris Jones faced two people's joint interception alone. His first attempt to break away was hit by a wall and fell into the opponent's trap.

Watson won a solid and reliable pocket, with his feet completely relaxed.

However, time is passing and the Houston Texans do not have the leisure to stroll. Watson still has to shoot quickly. His eyes quickly scan the entire court, capturing the trends and context of the offense and defense, looking for gaps.

Hopkins!

It was still Hopkins, running through the crowd with superb skills. Although he was double-teamed, his light and nimble footsteps still tore open a small gap, slightly opening a half window for Watson.

Pass the ball?

Watson raised his right hand and prepared to pass the ball quickly and neatly. The realistic action made the Kansas City Chiefs defense panic. It was obvious that the safeties and linebackers were changing their center of gravity and trying to get closer to Hopkins.

After all, this place is not far from the end zone. Once Hopkins catches the ball, it may turn into a touchdown in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, hold your breath!

But, the next second——

Fake action!
Watson retracted his right hand, held the ball without hesitation, and rushed out.

This is not a passing attack, but a standard read option attack.

Hopkins did have a chance, but he was never able to completely break free of the defense, leaving Watson with a narrow window for passing the ball; moreover, the offensive line's strategy of breaking down the defense one by one caused the pocket in front of him to scatter like a shotgun, leaving the pocket full of holes, leaving Watson with limited time to continue observing.

Watson didn't see the linebacker guarding him alone, so he made a quick decision.

Everything happened so suddenly that the Kansas City Chiefs defense was caught off guard.

Tap, tap.

Watson's steps have crossed the line of scrimmage and are breaking vertically along the slot.

In an instant, there was a panic.

Linebackers Higgins and Regland; cornerback Fowler, safeties Mathieu and Sorensen, and defensive players scattered in different positions all changed direction with their second reaction, swarming towards Watson, trying to quickly complete the encirclement.

But all the Houston Texans' offensive players changed their strategies on the spot and tried to break the defense and create trouble. At this moment, a figure got rid of it——

Defensive end Chris Jones.

Being outnumbered two at one, Jones had no time to catch his breath and no time to adjust; but his eyes were always fixed on Watson without shifting.

Jones was the first player to realize the read-option offense.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get rid of it.

Jones acted decisively, took a step back, forcibly shook off the two opponents who were entangled with him, and at the cost of sacrificing some space, he flew sideways towards Watson.

However, Jones was almost exhausted, and he was unable to fully push off the ground amid the chaos and bumps. He could only watch Watson take a step to the outside, easily get rid of him, and pass by him.

Jones: Damn it!
But Jones's action was not in vain. Not only did it force Watson to change his route, but it also delayed Watson for a moment, buying time for his teammates.

Higgins, Fowler and Mathieu quickly surrounded them.

Watson moved lightly, continuing to advance before the circle closed completely, and was about to rush out ten yards to complete the difficult conversion of third-down long yardage.

But at this moment, Mathieu and Fowler swooped over from the left and right.

boom!
The three parties came together and collided violently without any buffer or relaxation.

Watson's chest felt tight, and the three forces were staggered, and they didn't hit each other. Watson was able to stand up with a weird balance. He didn't have time to think about whether he should fall to the ground, but the first attack conversion line was already within reach. Wouldn't it be a pity to fail at this point? Then the next force flew over from the left side.

Cut it in half!
That was Higgins.

The force, surging and unreasonably hitting Watson's left elbow.

Before Watson completed the transformation in one breath, he already felt the loosening of his arms——

Damn it!

Everything changes so fast that the eyes and brain can hardly keep up.

Jones, who fell to the ground in a mess, accurately captured the naughty reddish-brown parabola in a halo of light, broke free from Watson's restraints and jumped out.

Football, freedom.

Jones rolled and crawled forward two steps using his hands and feet, with his hands open, but he did not lie on the ground waiting. He used the strength of his waist and abdomen to do a sit-up, then reached out to the football with both hands and scooped and hit it in the chaos.

Football, into Jones' arms.

Then, Jones' abdominal muscles couldn't bear the strain and he fell back to the ground.

Everyone at Arrowhead Stadium widened their eyes, trying to find the location of the football; Nantz's excited and distorted, almost hoarse roar was heard on the live broadcast on TV.

"Drop the ball!"

"Possession transition!"

"The second time, the Houston Texans lost the ball for the second time, an interception and a fumble. The two turnovers wiped out the Houston Texans' counterattack, and the Kansas City Chiefs seized the opportunity to turn the situation around."

"Watson's read option offense completely dribbled past the opponent, and the Kansas City Chiefs defense did not foresee this. Watson almost completed the third-down 10-yard conversion; but he encountered desperate resistance from the Kansas City Chiefs at the finish line. The defending champions not only intercepted Watson again, but also completed the ball possession conversion again."

"incredible!"

"God, oh, God!"

On the sidelines of the court, O'Brien became uncontrollably excited as he watched Watson continue to rush forward, his brain working at high speed; but before he could continue, it came to an abrupt end, his heart fell freely from a high altitude and hit the ground, shattering into pieces.
