Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 472: The Heart is Shaken
Pressure, leaking out.

The air was filled with smoke.

Whether it is the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs, both teams have entered the game 100%. The tit-for-tat game sparked anger and the atmosphere became noticeably tense.

Just before the game, Kelce left the field due to injury. After an on-site examination by the team doctor, it was finally confirmed that Kelce was not seriously injured. The Kansas City Chiefs' main tight end returned to the team, and it was just a false alarm after all.

Later, Philadelphia Eagles safety Jenkins was called for a yellow flag after a violent collision, but Kansas City Chiefs No. 3 wide receiver Albert Wilson still left the field with a concussion.

The smell of gunpowder gradually spread.

Off the field, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are far from being on edge. To some extent, the relationship between the players on both sides can even be said to be friendly.

Inside the stadium, the atmosphere of the Super Bowl gradually heated up, the murderous intent in the eyes got out of control little by little, and the number of yellow flags began to soar sharply.

No step, no blood.

The good show is about to begin.

In the game, the Kansas City Chiefs took the lead and seized the opportunity to turn the crisis into an opportunity to shake the situation. They not only caused the rookie kicker to make a mistake, but also persevered in the strong collision in the red zone and scored a touchdown.

However, Peterson was not ready to give up.

Then, the Philadelphia Eagles quickly gained a foothold and sent out a surprise player——

Corey-Clement.

Wait, who?

If you haven't heard of this name, it's not surprising at all, and it's not because the pre-match investigation work was not serious enough, because Clement came out of nowhere.

This player, who plays as a running back, was a rookie in the same draft class as Levi and the other three players, but he was unknown and did not attract any attention in the draft. In the end, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles' training team as a rejected rookie.

Throughout the season, Clement barely got a chance to play. The 5.8-foot-tall (178-cm), 220-pound (100-kg) running back was mediocre and completely inconspicuous.

It was precisely because Clement was unable to bear the heavy responsibility that the Philadelphia Eagles traded for running back Ajayi from the Miami Dolphins in the middle of the season.

From a tactical perspective, Clement occasionally appeared on the field, acting as a metronome to change the Philadelphia Eagles' running rhythm, but his appearances were very limited, and he held the ball less than forty times throughout the season.

However, this is Clement.

Play as a surprise soldier.

He ran and caught the ball, completely disrupting the situation like a tornado.

A seven-yard short pass, everyone thought it was just an ordinary pass, but no one expected that Clement would enter Lynch's "beast mode" -

It was a straight-arm block and a bull charge.

He was killing like crazy all the way, and even made an incredible 55-yard run into the heart of the Kansas City Chiefs. After entering the red zone, he fell to the ground exhausted on the eight-yard line, and turned the situation around by his own strength.

Surprise, absolutely surprise.

However, Peterson didn't seem surprised at all and looked very confident. If everything was planned and premeditated, then Peterson's preparation for this game was indeed far beyond imagination.

In this offensive wave, although the Kansas City Chiefs' defense once again showed its strength and forced the opponent into a third-down touchdown dilemma, the Philadelphia Eagles copied and pasted Reid's tactics, using Clement as bait, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and finally scored a pass touchdown to overtake the score again.

And, this time, Elliott didn’t miss the extra point.

"16:10".

The Philadelphia Eagles regained their courage, and inspired by the offensive team's continuous high-energy performances, the defensive team also had its moment of explosion.

The Kansas City Chiefs continued to perform at their top level in the next offensive wave, advancing all the way, rushing across half the field and into the Philadelphia Eagles' 20-yard line, and were about to score another touchdown.

But the Philadelphia Eagles said no.

One sack of Smith.

One tackle on Kelsey.

Stop Levi once.

Strike out! Among them, the Philadelphia Eagles used four players to set up a trap to intercept Levi's tactics, which was undoubtedly the most exciting and thrilling moment in the first half.

at last!

Facing the ultimate defensive challenge of Levi, the Philadelphia Eagles showed results, successfully intercepting the ball when the Kansas City Chiefs tried to keep the score close, completing a valuable stop.

And, something worse happened—

In the process of challenging the 37-yard free kick, Mahomes, who was responsible for holding the ball, failed to accurately grasp the football, causing the center of gravity of the football to tilt, which directly led to Buck's free kick going out of the goal from the right side.

The Kansas City Chiefs special teams also made fatal mistakes.

Mahomes hugged his helmet in self-blame and annoyance, not having the face to turn around and look at his teammates; Buck also stood there with his hands on his hips with a gloomy look on his face for a long time without moving.

but.

This time, Smith stepped forward and took on the responsibility of captain, stabilizing the morale of the troops and regaining the attention of the Kansas Chiefs.

"Remember? The story Levi told, the fat lady hadn't started singing yet."

"We should focus on the present, we should firmly grasp every second that comes next, what has happened has already happened, but the excitement is still going on."

“So, no one wants to miss the Fat Lady’s performance because of a distraction.”

Focus, commitment, and determination.

This was the first time Smith showed a completely different side of himself, which slightly shook the slightly dazed Kansas City Chiefs and helped them regain their focus.

Then--

Intercept, come on stage.

Foles continued to try to pass the ball despite being under tremendous pressure in the pocket, and found wide receiver Jeffery with an eight-yard short pass to complete the connection.

However, Fowles felt the pressure and the rotation of his pass was irregular, not a standard shuttle ball, so that the football hit Jeffery's forearm. Jeffery was unable to control the football, and the alert Reavis took advantage of the opportunity to grab the football and completed the first ball possession conversion of the entire game.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not waste the opportunity.

It was a classic fake run-and-real pass tactic, with Levi completing a key break for Kelce, and Smith and Kelce connected successfully, scoring another touchdown.

This time, Mahomes and Buck, who were highly focused, did not make any mistakes.

"16:17".

The Kansas City Chiefs took the lead for the second time in the game and regained their footing.

Then, after the two-minute timeout in the first half, the Kansas City Chiefs defense pushed the Philadelphia Eagles offense to the brink of the cliff.

Although the Philadelphia Eagles' No. 3 running back Clement once again played the role of a surprise soldier, relying on his elusive running routes to perform as a wide receiver, he actually brought the Philadelphia Eagles into the red zone again in the third-and-eight-yard situation.

There is no doubt that Clement was the brightest dark horse in the first half.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense still held the bottom line at the critical moment and completed the most important and difficult strikeout in the first half.

Four gears and one code.

With eight seconds left in the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles stood at the front of the end zone, facing fourth and one, and Peterson made a choice that made the entire audience gasp.

The Philadelphia Eagles did not choose a free kick, but chose to force a fourth-down play.

Burn your boats and take a gamble.

The atmosphere was completely tense at this moment.

The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive team and the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive team returned to the field, and both sides lined up, with murderous eyes and a completely anxious entanglement.

After the strikeout, the Kansas City Chiefs needed to complete one more defensive play, the last one.
