Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1485 Everyone has their own plans
Second gear, 13 yards, "Attack!"

Mahomes announced the kickoff, the sound cut through the sky, and a wave of heat vented down.

Sure enough, the San Francisco 49ers chose to raid again.

It is not difficult to understand the reason. At this time, momentum is more important than the gain or loss of a yard in the offensive and defensive confrontation. The San Francisco 49ers must suppress the Kansas City Chiefs' recovery momentum and regain confidence in the strong confrontation.

So, in Shanahan's view, since the first raid was so effective, why not continue the raid? Moreover, the Kansas Chiefs probably did not expect that San Francisco, which had a weak pass rush throughout the season, would dare to raid twice in a row, and Shanahan could catch Reid off guard.

Raid. Sack.

Judging from the scene, this is the simplest and most effective way for the defensive team to regain confidence and momentum. Even if they cannot convert the ball or even directly prevent the opponent from scoring, they can still restore morale and provide energy for subsequent confrontations.

One sack is exciting, but two? Three?

The effect is definitely not as simple as one plus one being greater than two.

Now, Shanahan is clearly seeking a dose of adrenaline.

Of course, Shanahan is a smart man and remains somewhat sober amidst the impulse.

It was indeed a raid, but this time they did not go all out and press forward. After adjustments, the San Francisco 49ers chose five players to rush the pass.

No, six-man pass rush.

In addition to the five rushers in front of the offensive line, there is cornerback Sherman.

The first person to notice Sherman was Levi.

When Mahomes announced the kickoff, Levi had already left his position and cut into the slot and rushed forward vertically along a diagonal and straight line.

Then, Sherman was seen ditching his position near the line of scrimmage.

In the past, when he was still in the Seattle Seahawks, during the peak period of the Bomb Legion, they did occasionally adopt the strategy of cornerbacks raiding the quarterback, focusing on suddenness and breaking the balance. Sherman was very familiar with this tactic.

After all, the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator is a former Seattle Seahawk.

Sherman, who had been roaming around Kelce throughout the game and focusing on long pass defense at all times, waited and waited but Mahomes did not try a long pass, so Sherman's skills were useless.

Now, Sherman finally had the chance to show his talents, and he certainly wouldn't miss it.

Start, step forward, and rush forward.

Sherman attacked silently from the side like an assassin, but the assassin's figure was too conspicuous and his hiding skills were not good enough.

Near the scrimmage line, the two met on a narrow road—

Sherman: Levi?

Levi: Sherman?

There was a brief glance, and both men were judging each other's role and tactical position; at the same time, both men were also judging whether they should end their tactical goal and temporarily change their formation to stop the other party.

In a flash, thoughts rushed, but the actions did not stop at all.

Levi stepped forward, and Sherman also stepped forward. Just as the two were about to collide, in a brief moment, both of them moved to their left sides.

Just in time, they were in perfect harmony with each other and passed each other. The two of them actually managed to stagger their positions effortlessly and continued on their way without encountering any interference or hindrance.

Unscathed.

Sherman didn't have time to pay attention to Levi. Anyway, the football was not in Levi's arms, which meant that no matter what tricks the Kansas City Chiefs played, as long as he could catch Mahomes, this offense would be over.

Step forward and charge.

When Sherman saw Mahomes, he immediately understood Levi's tactical intention.

Obviously, Mahomes was aware of the San Francisco 49ers' strategy of continuous pressure. Although he didn't know the specific tactics of the raid, Mahomes immediately opened up the distance after the kickoff and stepped back continuously to create passing space. At this time, Mahomes was at least seven yards away from the kickoff line and his footsteps were already hovering around the -yard line.

SHANAHAN: My hand tightened.

In front of Mahomes, the offensive and defensive lines were entangled, and the Kansas Chiefs' pocket protection was effectively stuck this time; this meant that during the time when Sherman stepped up to sack, Mahomes could complete the pass at any time -

Levi, damn Levi! Mahomes could have passed the ball to Levi now, forming a one-two pass and playing with Sherman like a monkey.

Damn it.

Now, all the pressure fell on Sherman's shoulders. Shanahan stared at Sherman intently, his palms clenched into fists.

For a brief moment, Sherman wanted to turn around and keep up with Levi, but he didn't, because he knew that if he did, he would lose one thing while the other. Once he turned around, Mahomes would have plenty of space to pass the ball.

So, now the only thing Sherman can do is to go all out.

Sherman took two steps at a time, turning all his anger and frustration into motivation and leaped forward.

However, Mahomes was prepared. He paused to catch Sherman's attention, then immediately changed direction and moved to the left.

Sherman kept sticking to him, and Mahomes noticed that the blind side of the pocket was also in crisis. Although defensive end Shelton-Day did not break through for the time being, the pocket was already in danger.

The San Francisco 49ers are really going strong.

Mahomes braked suddenly to control his steps, and the next second Sherman made full use of his experience, seized the gap, and pounced on him.

A bump!
Sherman hugged Mahomes, but failed to hold him tightly. Mahomes then pushed the ground to the right and got rid of Sherman from the opposite direction, and the two men were out of position.

Bumpy. Turbulent. Precarious.

Mahomes was still frightened and his knees went weak, almost causing him to collapse. However, he had no time to catch his breath. He gritted his teeth and rushed out with the centrifugal force of his body. He did not even wait for his feet to adjust and regain his center of gravity. In the bumps and chaos, he tilted at a difficult 45-degree angle, fighting against gravity while raising his right hand and swinging it quickly.

Whoosh.

Time, freezes for a moment.

Sherman was relentless in his attempt to get a second sack, but he was still a beat too slow and watched Mahomes pass the ball in time.

In an instant, Sherman's breath was cut off.

He noticed that Mahomes' entire arm was exerting force, not just his wrist and forearm, but his entire upper body was exerting force——

Long pass?

No way, long pass?

Sherman was so annoyed that he ran towards Mahomes by inertia. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he rushed forward ferociously.

Yellow flag!

foul!

Roughing the quarterback!
Sherman: Damn! Get out of here with your rough defense!
Ah! Ahhhh! Ahhhh!
Unacceptable, refuse to accept!
He actually watched Levi and Mahomes make a fool of him. He finally got a chance to perform, but this is the result -

A monkey show?
Moreover, he is the protagonist?

Damn.

But now Sherman had no time to deal with the referee, and even no energy to deal with Mahomes. He turned his head, and while he and Mahomes fell to the ground together, they looked toward the limit of the sky, looking for the flight trajectory of the football.

Levi?

Where is Levi now?
