Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1676 Shifting the Universe
If you want to defeat your mentor, the first step should be to face him honestly. If you don't even have the courage to face him, how can you talk about defeating or surpassing him?
Head up. Chest out. Back slightly straight.

McDermott demonstrated the decisiveness and courage of a head coach, quickly setting up the defense, which allowed the Buffalo Bills' defense to barely maintain its footing amidst the chaos.

put all one's eggs in one basket.

Buffalo Bill cannot afford to be indecisive or neglect one aspect for another.

McDermott knew that Levy might act as bait, and the Kansas City Chiefs might launch a surprise attack with a ground offense as a prelude.

The current continuous rain is severely impacting the quality of passing, making both passing vision and control extremely difficult. But what if it were Mahomes?
McDermott believes that Mahomes is still willing to pass the ball, even long passes. Other quarterbacks may hesitate, but Mahomes, this fearless guy, is 100% willing to take risks. As long as Reed dares to set up passing plays, Mahomes is willing to push the limits and go all out.

The complementary partnership between Levi and Mahomes is the Kansas Chiefs' trump card.

But McDermott was prepared to go all in—

Abandon passing and defending.

The entire second line of defense left only one safety to hold the line, to prevent Mahomes from actually challenging for a decisive shot and to avoid revealing his defensive intentions. The other players pushed forward and joined the defensive front line, setting up a tight net in the short passing area and the forward line area to apply pressure from all sides.

If Mahomes is really going to pass the ball, then... let him pass it.

This is a risk McDermott is willing to take.

In the continuous rainy weather, if Mahomes can make accurate passes and continuously attack the backcourt, then McDermott is willing to accept reality, and no matter what the outcome or the consequences, he is willing to face it calmly.

What if Mahomes can't pass the ball?
The Buffalo Bills' all-out pressure will give Mahomes and Levy a real taste of the "storm," whether it's intercepting ground plays or sackling the quarterback. McDermott is prepared to put all his energy into the pocket and head-on challenge the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive leader.

A decisive battle to the death!
Anyway, the score is now 14-0, down by two touchdowns. In the rainy weather, when offense is struggling, the Buffalo Bills have very little room to turn the tide. The home team has nothing left to lose, right?
Since you've decided to go all in, don't hesitate, the sooner the better.

"on!"

McDermott covered his mouth with his tactical board, quickly issued instructions, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes, his fighting spirit burning again.

At this moment, putting aside the score and the consequences, McDermott focused intently on a powerful strike and rediscovered his passion.

The Buffalo Bills players seemed to feel this energy as well. The fear and confusion of being on the edge of a cliff, after a series of setbacks, gripped their hearts. The crisis became an opportunity, and their fighting spirit surged in their blood.

Mahomes noticed.

Having learned from Li Wei over the years, Mahomes is now also starting to read the atmosphere and momentum of a game, gradually mastering the tricks of the trade.

Mahomes nudged Levi with his shoulder, gesturing towards the front: those figures exuded a fearless, unwavering belief and perseverance, ready to die for their cause.

Li Wei remained expressionless, his clear gaze fixed ahead—

Let him be strong, the breeze will blow over the hills; let him be arrogant, the bright moon will shine on the river.

The Kansas Chiefs offensive team is ready.

Mahomes could tell from Levi's expression that a battle was about to begin. He rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation, ready for anything. The rain began to drizzle, the downpour subsided, and a light mist began to spread.

It was damp and cold, and my limbs were numb and stiff. Although my torso remained warm, the sensation in my fingers and toes seemed to be gradually fading away.

The natural attack made the noise and interference from the home crowd at Beal Stadium negligible. There was no need for fans to shout, and it was difficult for voices and eyes to be accurately conveyed to teammates. Communication became increasingly difficult, and players' reflexes became sluggish. Everything was like a slow-motion video.

"attack."

Mahomes' voice broke free of restraints, exploding in our ears. The two sides instantly activated their attacks, their forces colliding fiercely.

boom! Bang bang bang!
Water splashed everywhere, and rain and mist swirled around.

Mahomes, with the ball in both hands, followed Levi's footsteps without hesitation, moving laterally to the right. The two players actively ran out of the pocket to open up space.

Modern outer zone offensive system.

Clearly, Mahomes realized that the Buffalo Bills had amassed a large force, with all their power concentrated in front of the pocket. Regardless of McDermott's plans, they decided not to play McDermott's game and instead find another way to open up the situation, sticking to the Kansas Chiefs' own rhythm.

One step. Two steps. Three steps.

Mahomes has left the meat grinder of frontcourt battles behind.

Furthermore, Mahomes and Levy showed great chemistry, both moving laterally, with Levy in front and Mahomes behind, at slightly different speeds. Mahomes moved past Levy's position and continued to move laterally to the right, while Levy stayed behind, acting as a screen to block potential attacks from the linebackers and defend the forwards.

Flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go.

Before he could even blink, Mahomes had already gained space to observe the defense.

Li Wei plays the role of the sixth offensive forward, responsible for setting up plays.

However, that's still not all. Kelsey is right in front of him, directly in front of Mahomes, and Kelsey is responsible for guarding the pick-and-roll cornerback.

With Levi on the left, Kelsey in front, and the sideline on the right, the Kansas City Chiefs have surprisingly shifted the "pocket" to the right, leaving the original pocket as bait to lure the Buffalo Bills into a trap, while giving Mahomes ample space to observe and pass the ball.

Wait, is this a pass?
Everything happened so fast that not only Buffalo Bill, but even the commentators watching from above in the live broadcast room couldn't react in time.

In the blink of an eye, the formidable Buffalo Bills stepped into the trap, while the Kansas Chief effortlessly lured them away, a brilliant escape!
Mahomes is observing, adjusting, and looking for passing targets!
So, what about Buffalo Bill?
Relentless and all-out, McDermott hadn't anticipated the Kansas City Chiefs' move. The flexible use of the modern outside offense system once again disrupted the balance of offense and defense. Reed was indeed Reed, a cut above the rest; however, McDermott still didn't give up.

Perhaps McDermott was no match for Reed, but his youthful vigor and hot-blooded recklessness possessed its own energy, driving him headlong forward.

The defensive linemen and linebackers were entangled in the pocket position.

The key point is that the Buffalo Bills pushed forward with all their players – linebackers, cornerbacks, and safety – without exception. Reid did not expect McDermott to completely abandon the backcourt, and the entire second line of defense rushed up. Mahomes did not even have time to adjust his footing before he felt the pressure again.

Coming!
