Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1403 Burned out
Rugby is a typical team sport. Every offensive and defensive strategy requires the support of team strength. Winning together and losing together is not just a slogan. Victory cannot be achieved by one person, and failure cannot be blamed on one person.

The same is true for the Houston Texans’ offense.

O'Brien's conservative tactical arrangement, the chaos on the offensive line, the sluggish ground offense, etc., a series of difficulties are objective reasons.

It would be unfair to simply and crudely put all the blame on Watson; however, looking at it from another perspective, Watson is indeed one of the crucial reasons, undoubtedly one of the key reasons.

Under pressure and difficulties, Watson's confusion and helplessness were exposed in broad daylight through the live camera, like a lost child.

Standing in the pocket and facing pressure, Watson's indecisiveness is fully exposed. He holds the ball for too long, causing the precarious pocket to completely collapse or his passing choices after the second reading of the defense are chaotic. His light and flexible footsteps are more like a headless fly bumping into walls in a glass bottle.

Throughout the second half, the Kansas City Chiefs defense did not record a single sack, but the constant pressure made Watson completely lose himself.

Hesitant. Dazed. Confused. Chaotic. Blind.

As a quarterback, Watson's performance was unsatisfactory; what's more, this is the quarterback who boasts of punching Mahomes and kicking Jackson?
Before the game, all eyes were focused on Watson. The young quarterback who had just defeated Jackson was shining brightly. The entire league was exclaiming that another talented quarterback had finally completed his transformation in the professional arena and entered his heyday. This was definitely worth paying attention to.

result……

After this incident, all the excitement and passion were poured with a bucket of cold water, the flames of enthusiasm were extinguished instantly, and they were forced to calm down before they had time to get excited. Professionals said that further observation was still needed.

But the social network does not have such rationality and patience. One after another, crazy curses and all kinds of curses and insults were directed at Watson. Just as the quarterback was bathed in applause and cheers when he won, he also suffered a torrential attack when he lost.

There was a time when every time the Houston Texans ended a season with disappointment, whether it was a playoff exit or an early exit, all the blame fell on Watt, with ugly and dirty accusations directed at Watt, accusing the team's biggest player of not even being able to lead the team to the conference finals and having nothing but personal honors.

Although Watt devoted 100% of his energy to the team without reservation, in the eyes of some fans, it was still far from enough.

This time, those crazy fans and trolls finally found a new prey, and their overwhelming attacks were all aimed at Watson.

Look at Watson, then look at Watt, and indeed, there is no harm without comparison.

Watt tried his best to fight against the all-out attacks of Mahomes and Levy, but the opportunity he finally got was wasted by Watson. The last glimmer of hope he had fought so hard for was easily squandered.

I can't swallow this!

What's worse is that looking at the Kansas City Chiefs, they did not take it lightly even though they were far ahead in the score. The layers of pressure from the defense made Watson miserable, and the offense did not sit there to kill time. Mahomes and Levi were still looking for opportunities.

Despite Watt's best efforts, the Kansas City Chiefs still advanced into the free kick area twice, with a 48-yard free kick that went wide and a 42-yard free kick that was successfully scored, continuing to exert pressure on the score.

People are more mad than people.

On the other side, the Kansas City Chiefs remained focused and fought with all their might, aiming to reach the Super Bowl for three consecutive years. They showed their courage amid doubts and provocations and marched forward towards victory.

In this game, the Houston Texans needed to go all out to have a chance of survival, but they limped along. The offensive team performed like sleepwalking and seemed to have no interest in winning. It was a disaster.

In this way, the game moved towards the standard ending step by step in the calm tug-of-war and confrontation, without any surprises.

After the two-minute timeout, Watson finally connected with tight end Firth to complete a face-saving touchdown, narrowing the score. This means that the Houston Texans completed a touchdown at the beginning and end of the game. For this, netizens joked, "At least they are better than the Tennessee Titans."

Tannehill and Henry had arrows stuck in their backs.

However, this is not the end, O'Brien is still ready to give it a try -

Gambling kicks.

In fact, professionals and veteran fans can see that it is meaningless to "give it a try" because the score difference is still two possessions. Even if the Houston Texans take the gamble and score another touchdown, they do not have enough time to continue the second gamble.

Can't O'Brien see this?

No, O'Brien knows this clearly, but he still needs to keep fighting to the end. This is the only way to respond to Houston fans.

Otherwise, when returning to Houston, Texans will not forgive the performance of the coaching staff and players. They will not be satisfied that the team did not fight until the last minute, and they will not be satisfied that the coaching staff did not try everything possible.

Of course, O'Brien knew that even if he tried, the fans would still not be satisfied; but he still needed to make a gesture, which was very necessary.

So, the gambling kicks in.

Even the Houston Texans players were shocked and couldn't believe O'Brien's choice. Why make a meaningless attempt?

Reid was not surprised by this and was on full alert. The Kansas City Chiefs' special team took control of the ball without any suspense and quickly eliminated all possibilities.

Anyway, O'Brien was not really prepared to fight to the end, he was just struggling to the death.

After the Kansas City Chiefs took control of the ball, because the Houston Texans still had a timeout, Mahomes did not kneel down to waste time, but handed the football to Levi.

"attack!"

Mahomes kicked off the game, and Watt rushed forward again regardless, burning everything.

Watt cut into the pocket and saw Levi with bright eyes. He knew that his good friend would not let up, and he admired Levi for this.

Watt stepped forward and Levi retreated, and the two played a cat-and-mouse game behind the pocket, watching the distance from the line of scrimmage getting farther and farther, but no one gave up.

Finally, Watt leapt forward and struck hard, trying to grab Levi.

At the critical moment, Levi made a clockwise spin and jumped, narrowly avoiding the tackle, and turned around to break through in a vertical direction without warning.

The Houston Texans had completely let down their guard and the absent-minded defense was startled. It was not until Levi crossed the line of scrimmage and advanced 15 yards that they formed a circle, forcing Levi to slide to the ground to end the attack. At the same time, the game time was also completely reset to zero.
