Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 308 Digging one’s own grave
Three gears and three codes.

The Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs had been struggling in the red zone for more than two minutes. The Kansas City Chiefs were standing on the five-yard line in front of the end zone, but the bloody battle was still going on. It was like a pure hand-to-hand fight with all the strength of the 300 Spartan warriors, and both sides were fighting with blood.

With no way out, the Oakland Raiders burst out with amazing energy in desperate situation, trying to stop their century-old rivals outside the end zone.

The air is burning.

Before Smith announced the kick-off, the sounds of tense muscles and heavy breathing could be heard on both sides of the front line, and the game was about to break out.

then.

Someone moved.

Tapping.

Levi moved from the left side behind Smith to the right side, and the first thing he saw was Bauman standing up and following the move, following Levi closely.

Immediately afterwards, Levi returned from the right side to the left side, and Bowman continued to follow him; at the same time, Levi did not stop behind Smith, but stood parallel to Smith, with wide receiver Hill in front of him.

Judging from all the signs, Levi is very likely to play the role of wide receiver again, avoiding the side defended by Mark and running routes with Hill——

This is another brand new partner.

It can be seen that the Kansas City Chiefs have indeed been seeking changes in the predicament of losing streak, and many tactics should have been practiced in the team training.

Brand new means unfamiliar, and it also means that the defense needs to adapt on the spot. The Oakland Raiders suffered more than once in today's game.

So, even though tight end Kelce is on the right side, which is supposed to be the strong side, the Oakland Raiders cannot ignore Levi's presence.

So, the right side is the strong side and the left side is also the strong side, and the Oakland Raiders are immediately in trouble.

So, is Levi a smokescreen?

Mark glanced at Levi out of the corner of his eyes: Coward, afraid to face off head-on.

He cursed silently, but then retracted his attention. Now that Levi had gone to the other side, he could focus his attention completely on Smith.

"I'm sorry, Alex, I may be using you as a punching bag."

Not only did Mark not relax, but he became more active, like a cheetah. His brutal eyes made Fisher swallow his saliva.

The atmosphere was already tense and on the verge of breaking out. Levi kept moving left and right to distract himself, and his tense nerves became even more irritable.

At this moment——

"attack!"

Smith's kick-off call cut through the air.

At a glance, the Kansas City Chiefs' offense ran a series of dazzling routes:
Smith took several steps back to create space and scanned the court. He deliberately glanced at Kelce on the right, but then immediately looked to the open space on the left.

Two steps. Three steps.

Smith had already raised his hand to pass the ball, and the target of the pass was Hill - at least in the direction of Hill's movement.

The opposing defense must react immediately to a move by the quarterback, and this is true for Bowman and Mark. Although this is not a quick short pass, Smith's passing action is obviously faster, compressing the passing time, which results in the defense not having enough time to start.

In the tense and anxious atmosphere, both sides couldn't help but become impatient.

Mark knew he had to speed up, otherwise he would be too late to tackle or even hit the opponent, let alone capture him. But this time, Fisher was particularly difficult to deal with and was stuck in position. Mark wanted to pass Fisher and cut into the inside. Even a delay of one millisecond could change the situation.

Mark was a little impatient, his feet slipped and he lost his balance, but he accidentally let Fisher not get stuck in position. Mark finally got rid of it and simply got out from under Fisher's arm -

Even if it's the crotch, I'll drill through it.

As soon as Mark took a step forward, Smith was already in his sight. Mark noticed the football in Smith's hand at a glance. He was delighted and rushed forward without even having time to think about why Smith hadn't made a move.

Then, Smith turned around. Then, Smith shot.

Mark's eyes seemed to be in slow motion as he watched Smith's movements unravel. The reddish-brown arc caused his gaze to shift, and the next second Levi's figure rushed into his field of vision. Mark's pupils contracted rapidly as he looked at the scene in disbelief.

Levi?

Why is Levi here?

Levi did not cooperate with Hill, and now he has returned to the right side?
Wait, what's going on?

Countless thoughts surged in Mark's mind, but he had no time to think. He could only react subconsciously, moving with the ball, stopping and turning quickly to keep up.

Then, tear.

The pocket is torn.

The Oakland Raiders also realized the importance of this third-down, third-yard play and did not choose to use multiple players to pass the ball, but Bowman played a key role and still exerted effective pressure, completely ignoring Hill. On the surface, he kept a close eye on Levi, but in fact he aimed at Smith and successfully tore open the pocket with his personal ability.

Obviously, Del Rio is calculating and making moves.

Similarly, Nagy also showed why Reid trusted him by confusing the audience with a trick, and Smith deliberately delayed his shot to connect with Levi.

When Bauman rushed over and hit Smith hard, he still couldn't stop the football from falling into Levi's arms.

Damn!

With 2.3 seconds left, Smith's delayed shot still kept the rhythm precise and he passed the ball before Bowman could sack him. The entire offensive strategy was completely transformed.

But if that is all, is Najib sure he is not digging his own grave?

For one thing, Levi’s footwork was still in the pocket and he hadn’t even gotten close to the line of scrimmage.

Secondly, the Oakland Raiders' red zone defense was completely shrunken, and when Smith delayed his shot, they had already reacted and pounced on him.

That is to say, although the football passed from Smith to Levi, Levi not only had no way to break through, but was surrounded because of the delay.

What kind of self-defeating tactic is this?

Levi had just received the football, and when he looked up, he could see a huge white wave in front of him completely engulfing the red flames—

Cornerbacks, safeties, linebackers, all close.

Moreover, they also realized that Levi was good at breaking through the sidelines. It could be seen from his running posture that they were cutting off the route in advance. By the time Levi got into position, they would be surrounded in a second.

From the line of scrimmage to the five-yard area of ​​the end zone, one step at a time.

To make matters worse, Levi was still five yards from the line of scrimmage.

So, is Najib really out of his mind?

Levi didn't have time to answer such a stupid question. After receiving the football, he immediately pulled to the right and immediately saw Mark following closely.

An emergency brake!
It was just one step, Levi immediately braked, and Mark was caught off guard. His center of gravity was already swaying and stumbling, and he stumbled and fell again.

The stands booed: Mark, are you really capable of this? It's really not good for a man to have an unstable lower body.

Mark had no time to pay attention, as he was in shock and shock, because Levi did not change direction again and was ready to break through the slot directly.

Slot?

Not the sideline, but the slot?

How could it be a slot!
