Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 469 Blowing the Horn
Ah, ahhhh, ahhh!

The entire Bank of America Stadium was boiling with excitement. An incredible heat wave instantly erupted, and the entire enclosed indoor stadium was trembling slightly in the air wave.

The Super Bowl has begun.

In the coin-guessing session, the Kansas City Chiefs guessed correctly, and Reid calmly chose the venue, which was the offense in the second half; the opening offense was given to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The choice is not surprising.

Peterson nodded slightly, looking at the court with bright eyes, calm and sophisticated. It was obvious that he was ready to deal with any situation.

Determined to win!

then.

Fowles led the offensive team onto the field.

As Collinsworth said, after a long season, injuries, ups and downs, and lineup changes are severe tests that every team must face; however, it is rare in the league's history for the Philadelphia Eagles to undergo a core player replacement like this season.

The main quarterback switched from Wentz to Foles.

The main running back, Blount, who was last season's rushing king and transferred from the New England Patriots to the Philadelphia Eagles, is still the starter, but his playing time has been cut in half. Jay-Ajayi, a third-year running back who transferred from the Miami Dolphins in the middle of the season, shared the playing time.

The main wide receivers, Alshon Jeffrey and Nelson Agholor, who were the third and fourth wide receivers in the first half of the season, both moved up to become the main players.

The main tight end, Ertz, who did not come to the fore until last season and has only started to gain momentum since the sixth week of this season, became the starter in the Super Bowl.

And so on and so forth.

In this offensive group, the only one who firmly holds the starting position may be center Jason Kelce. This veteran who has held the starting center position of the Philadelphia Eagles since 2011 has gradually grown into the mainstay of the team and is even considered by many to be one of the best centers in the league.

Compared with the second week of the regular season, the Philadelphia Eagles in front of us are completely different, not to mention that they have completely changed inside and out. Peterson's tactical layout and on-the-spot response have gradually matured after a season of polishing, which can be seen from the opening -

Facing his mentor again, Peterson has completed his transformation from pre-match preparation to mentality adjustment.

At the beginning of the game, the Philadelphia Eagles launched an offense, and Peterson showed his belief in winning from the beginning.

The Philadelphia Eagles placed the responsibility of the first wave of offense entirely on Foles. Although the outside world always had doubts and could not trust Foles 100%, the general view was that the third-round pick quarterback was not up to the task; but Peterson disagreed. He showed absolute trust in his employees.

Foles lived up to expectations, completing six of his nine passes and finding six completely different pass targets. The entire passing attack was open and multi-point, showing the courage to not give an inch in the face of the tight defense and comprehensive coverage of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense, and opened up the situation.

At the same time, Peterson learned his lesson and did not waste the ground offense this time. The two running backs, Blount and Ajayi, took turns to appear on the court, switching the rhythm like a metronome. The entire offense took the lead in the balance of passing and running. It can be seen at a glance that Peterson's pre-match preparations were sufficient and complete.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs defense was not to be outdone. Although their pass defense had been criticized throughout the season and Berry's continued absence meant that the team's secondary defense did not improve in the Super Bowl; they still continued to put pressure on their opponents on the front line of defense.

Second gear. Third gear. The Kansas City Chiefs kept putting the Philadelphia Eagles in trouble, but in the critical moment, Foles did not show any timidity or hesitation as if he was standing on the world stage of the Super Bowl for the first time. He dared to fight and was rational and calm, and resolved the third gear crisis three times.

Moreover, it is audacious.

A third-down, fourth-yard pass was successful but it ended up being 17 yards, and a third-down, sixth-yard pass was successful but it ended up being 12 yards, showing a big heart.

The game was in a stalemate from the start.

In the end, Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to advance a full 61 yards. The Kansas City Chiefs once again showed top-level strength at the front of the red zone and finally stopped their opponent - striking out.

The Philadelphia Eagles chose to take a free kick, 25 yards out, and scored in one go.

"3:0".

The visiting team scored first.

Although the Philadelphia Eagles ended up scoring, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense showed strength and tenacity, and this wave of offense and defense took a full seven minutes and five seconds!
The intensity could be clearly felt from the first offensive and defensive duel of the entire game. It was not only stalemate but also tense. Both sides showed no hesitation and showed no mercy. They got into the game at the first instant and pushed the game to a climax with full firepower. The Bank of America Stadium was filled with a breathtaking frenzy.

With a turn, the Kansas City Chiefs offensive team responded immediately.

Reed, too, came prepared.

Obviously, Levi is the top priority in the Philadelphia Eagles' pre-game tactical preparations.

Because Levi has just completed an incredible rookie season, his existence is undoubtedly a nightmare for every team. Ignoring Levi is like ignoring Messi or C-Ronaldo, which is stupid.

It was also because Levi played a key role in the clash between the two sides in the second week of the regular season, and taught Peterson a good ground offense lesson with practical actions, which is still deeply imprinted in his blood.

It is rumored that Peterson woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and called Levi's name affectionately.

No matter how Reed arranges his tactics, Peterson cannot ignore Levi's presence.

However, Reed was one step ahead and saw through Peterson's tactical layout early on. In the first wave of offense, he used Levi purely as bait, played high and launched a comprehensive passing attack, catching Peterson off guard in the pre-match preparation.

Anyone familiar with the Kansas City Chiefs knows that their passing attack is... easy to detect.

Firstly, because Smith focuses on short passes, he rarely risks long passes.

Secondly, there is a shortage of passing targets. Hill and Kelce account for almost 80% of the team's passes, with at most one more player, Hunter.

However, on the Super Bowl stage, Reed finally pulled out his trump card, relying on tactical layout to gain an advantage, and then relying on Levi to play the role of bait to contain the opponent's defensive strength, and finally -

Full bloom.

Like the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs' passing attack was also completely open.

Smith made six of six passes, finding five different pass targets with a 100% passing success rate, breaking through the Philadelphia Eagles' defense like a shotgun; in addition, Hunter ran with the ball as a surprise attack, and the entire offense took on a completely new look, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles dizzy.

Can you imagine that in the first wave of offense, Levi didn't even touch the ball once, but the Philadelphia Eagles still retreated step by step.

Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs made their way into the red zone, and the Philadelphia Eagles used the fourth-ranked red zone defense in the league to barely stop Smith.

The Kansas City Chiefs' first attack ended with a free kick, but they were unable to convert the advantage into a touchdown, which was a bit regrettable. At the critical moment, the Philadelphia Eagles' defense team stepped up and pulled the game back.

"3:3".
