Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 378 As fast as lightning
Time, go back two seconds.

While Brady was reading the defense, Revis was reading the offense --

To be precise, Revis was reading Amendola.

Obviously, Brady noticed the heavy accumulation of troops in the short pass area of ​​the Kansas City Chiefs, and the New England Patriots still have different offensive tactical options.

They can pass the ball long, they can run the ball, they can pass the ball short.

However, there was no sign of whether the Kansas City Chiefs were ready to put pressure on the pass rush. At this time, in the area where the two front lines were facing each other, both sides had a large number of players stockpiled, which made them look completely bloated, noisy and chaotic.

At this scene, an idea emerged in Revis' mind -

A short biography on the screen.

The so-called short screen pass is based on a very simple principle. Just imagine the offensive line as a screen that can move left and right.

After the kickoff, the screen protects the quarterback, who pretends to pass the ball to attract the rushing force; but after withstanding the first wave of collisions, the screen will abandon the quarterback and move in the planned direction, deliberately exposing the quarterback.

At this time, the defense's rushing and passing defense layouts are disrupted. In this case, the quarterback quickly passes the football before encountering a collision or sack, using the screen to clear the way and escort the receiver to advance with the ball.

Generally speaking, the target of a short screen pass is a running back, because the running back is in the pocket from the beginning, which is very suitable for concealing and diverting attention; but now wide receivers and tight ends often retreat to catch the ball, making the short screen pass even more unpredictable.

The New England Patriots' short pass tactics Curry and screen short passes have not been used frequently this season, and the lack of a strong running back has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the tactics, so Brady prefers other short pass tactics.

But in front of me.

Revis noticed Amendola's movement and the unusually dense crowd at the front line, and inspiration focused on him.

"attack!"

When Brady announced the start of the game, Revis didn't hesitate for a second:
Push off the ground, step forward, and rush forward.

His eyes were fixed on Amandola, and his peripheral vision was fixed on Brady.

As soon as he crossed the line of scrimmage, Revis noticed that the New England Patriots' offensive line and running backs were all moving in another direction.

Kansas on the right, New England on the left.

However, Brady turned to his right and threw the ball sideways.

It turns out that the short pass behind the screen was just a smokescreen, and the real killer was hidden here.

Pass target: Amendola.

Just as Brady was about to dribble past everyone and successfully connect with Amandola again, a figure suddenly appeared like lightning and drew a brilliant galaxy between Brady and Amandola.

Block.

Intercept.

Charge forward.

Revis turned into a ray of light, leaving only an afterimage.

Amandola: Where's the football? Did something just flash before your eyes?
Everything happened so fast that you might miss it if you blink.

"Second down and 13 yards, the New England Patriots' receivers are very active."

"kick off!"

"…interception."

Nantz couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and in just a blink of an eye, Brady's attempt to connect with Amendola's pass was intercepted.

"Oh, baby, what's going on here?"

Nantz blinked and held his head in his hands, unable to believe his eyes. He turned to look at his partner, only to find that Romo was also stunned. Romo, "Oh. I didn't see this coming."

Before he could finish his self-deprecating words, Revis had already rushed into the end zone and easily returned an interception for a touchdown.

Brady: Confused.

Amandola: Confused.

What happened just now?
They were completely caught off guard, so much so that Amandola stood there without a second start, and Revis did not encounter any obstruction or interference. This should have been the easiest touchdown in his career.

Even Brady and Amendola are like this, not to mention others.

The New England Patriots' offensive team was completely unaware of the movement behind them and was still conscientiously pretending to make a short pass through the screen, completely unaware that this wave of offense had ended and completely overturned the situation.

The entire Gillette Stadium: Stay...

The entire audience held their breath, staring at the scene in front of them in amazement. Their brains were unable to comprehend it, and even though they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they still did not understand how it had happened.

Ah!
West was the first to raise his hands high and roar—

They didn't give up, they refused to surrender, they kept fighting.

The next second, the Old Oak Tavern exploded with an earthquake.

Madness was written all over their faces, and their hearts could hardly bear it; but at this moment, the surging blood took over.

From hell to heaven, in just one second, the Kansas City Chiefs fought for a chance of survival.

Ahhhhh!
Levi raised his arms and shouted.

Without exception, all members of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense, offense, special teams and coaching staff stood up and clenched their fists to cheer for Revis.

Suppression. Confrontation. Entanglement. Exhaustion. Stalemate.

From the mental to the physical level, the tension of this game was pushed to a whole new level. Just as the balance of victory was about to tilt towards the defending champion again, an unexpected figure overturned the balance.

This is football.

Revis stood in the end zone, scanning the dead silent Gillette Stadium in front of him, as if he was inspecting his own territory. Turning around, he saw faces full of ecstasy and passion, and the next second he was surrounded by players from the defensive team, truly becoming a team.

Involuntarily, the dormant fighting spirit and fading passion in my blood rekindled.

The feeling of walking in the clouds is truly intoxicating, who can resist it?
A smile quietly crept onto the corner of Revis' mouth. This game was just beginning to become interesting.

“The suspense is back.”

"The New England Patriots are still the familiar New England Patriots. There is no problem with their tactical strategy, and there is no problem with their interpretation and control of the entire game situation. I don't think Belichick and Brady made any mistakes."

"but."

"The Kansas City Chiefs are not the familiar Kansas City Chiefs. Some characteristics of this team are taking root. Although I don't know what's going on, from the current situation, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense has shown enough toughness to bring the suspense back to the present."

"As predicted before the game, the offenses of both teams performed very well, but coaches Belichick and Reid are learning to win games with defense. This game was no exception. At the critical moment, the defense played a turning point and completely disrupted the plan. Now everything is possible."

"'21:27', Tony, what do you think?"

Nantz finally regained his wits, and after a quick and brief summary, he threw the topic back to Romo.

Romo spread his hands, "We are talking about the New England Patriots now. Believe me, I know their strength. They are still the leading team in the score and they are also the one who holds the initiative. The game time is also on their side. They should certainly be favored."

Nantz, “But?”

Romo, "But I have a feeling that the Kansas City Chiefs still have some energy left in their tank, and this young team may be able to continue to bring surprises. I don't know, I don't know, let's wait and see."
