Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 473 Philadelphia Special
Tight. Stale. Suffocating.

The Super Bowl was worthy of being the Super Bowl. The game was extremely tense and bloody. The youth and immaturity of both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs were exposed. Both teams made mistakes and kept changing the course of the game.

After a lot of twists and turns, the Kansas City Chiefs took a slight lead and pushed the Philadelphia Eagles to the edge of the cliff, but Peterson once again showed his courage.

The so-called "patricide" is definitely not just talk.

With eight seconds left in the first half, in the red zone, fourth-and-1 was also a fourth-and-1 touchdown.

The Philadelphia Eagles chose to play hard.

The reason lies in Peterson's determination.

Of course, the Philadelphia Eagles could choose a free kick, steadily earn three points, and enter the halftime break with a slight advantage of "19:17", which is a strategy.

But at the same time, the Philadelphia Eagles can also choose a more radical, tougher and bolder strategy, and force a fourth-down challenge for a touchdown.

If successful, the Philadelphia Eagles were able to score a touchdown, enter halftime with a six-point advantage, and gain the upper hand in momentum and fighting spirit.

The failure left the Philadelphia Eagles with an awkward starting position for the Kansas City Chiefs and very little time left, almost ensuring that they would not get further stuck in the mud; moreover, the team only trailed by one point at halftime, and the score difference was not large enough to affect their confidence.

Most importantly, playing in fourth gear shows a mental state and demonstrates the Philadelphia Eagles' determination and belief to win.

Peterson came prepared, both tactically and mentally.

In an instant, the game became completely tense, and the stalemate in the first half reached a new peak. Both teams showed their indomitable spirit.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

When brave men meet, the wisest wins.

On the field, the situation suddenly changed.

Fowles had already assigned the offensive team to complete the lineup, but when preparing to kick off, he stood up again and adjusted the tactics. A hint of unusual atmosphere spread in the air.

If the quarterback standing in front of him at this moment is Peyton Manning, his on-the-spot adjustments would be a signature tactic and a master-level command.

But, Fowles?

Few people know that after being cut by the Kansas City Chiefs last season, Foles seriously considered retirement and was mentally prepared.

Why did Fowles temporarily change the tactics? How did he plan to change the tactics?
In an instant, the game between the offensive and defensive teams reached its climax.

The air is burning.

“Philly-Special.”

Fowles shouted.

then.

Fowles moved forward again. He and running back Clement were both standing vertically five yards behind center Jason Kelce, which looked like a pistol formation; but now he returned to behind Jason Kelce and kept shouting at the offensive players.

“Philly-Philly.”

Again and again.

Foles made sure every player on offense heard his chant.

Houston was a little uneasy. He could vaguely sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on why. There was no time to change the tactics in a split second, and the defensive team was in a passive position and had to respond to changes with the same approach.

Houston remained calm, glancing quickly at Fowles from the corner of his eye.

Fowles's footsteps have moved to the far right side of the offensive line.

Wait, tee time?
Houston was stunned.

Without warning, and out of the blue, the Philadelphia Eagles called time on the drive.

Wait, what?
Bang, bang bang!
The Kansas City Chiefs' defense started moving forward almost reflexively, and first collided with the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line. At this time, they showed the intensity of their excellent red zone defense throughout the season. Not only did they put enough pressure on the front line confrontation, but the second-line defense also pressed forward, closely guarding them and hitting them head-on with a sense of oppression.

However, Houston is still struggling to cope with it——

What about football?

Since Foles is behind the offensive tackle, who does the football get passed to?

The answer is Clement. After changing from running back to wide receiver, Clement actually challenged quarterback!
No. I won't.

Jason Kelce sent the football directly and accurately into Clement's arms.

Clement seemed to realize that he had become the target of public criticism. He grabbed the football as if it were a hot potato, turned 90 degrees to the left, and without hesitation and without touching the ball, he threw it lightly to the left side.

Not forward, but backward.

The target was Trey-Burton.

The third tight end.

It's not the No. 1 tight end or the No. 2 tight end, but the undrafted No. 3 tight end Burton. Like Clement, he had almost no chance to play throughout the season and served as a backup for the backup tight end.

However, this time, Burton stood in the spotlight.

Originally, Burton was lined up on the left side. After the kickoff, he turned around and ran back, running horizontally behind Clement's parallel line position.

Catch the ball, run, move laterally.

Burton was like a gust of wind. He reached out and grabbed the football, then ran across the entire gap from the left side of the pocket protection along the back, went around Clement's back, and came to the right side of the pocket.

Next, pass the ball.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense was completely unable to keep up with the pace and was completely caught up in the Philadelphia Eagles' dazzling tactical design. They had no time to think or respond and could only stick to their positions according to the tactics.

Front line, pressure.

Second line, close

However! but!

The Kansas City Chiefs missed a man.

Burton, pass the ball.

He moved lightly and effortlessly across the pocket, from the left side to the right side, without any hesitation or delay, giving the Kansas City Chiefs' defense no time to react. Even before the defense could focus on the football, he raised his right hand and threw the football out with a light throw.

Pass target, Nick Foles.

The door was wide open on the right side of the end zone. Although the Kansas City Chiefs' defense closely guarded every receiving point, they missed Foles, a non-receiving point.

Fowles stood in an open space, without being blocked or hit, and turned around and easily caught Burton's pass.

Then, like a boy chasing the wind, he held the football high in the end zone and ran wildly.

Although the Kansas City Chiefs' defense started to move the ball immediately, it was too late, everything was too late, and they were ultimately unable to stop Foles.

“Touchdown!”

"God, God, God!"

"Wow."

“Touchdown!”

The live broadcast room was completely dumbfounded.

Because he was so shocked and so unexpected, Collinsworth even forgot to scream or roar. He stumbled with his tongue tied, and kept repeating the same words like a fool, unable to help but want to confirm with his eyes.

“Touchdown!”

“It was a touchdown, no doubt about it.”

"This was a truly elusive and incredible offensive tactic. Peterson - it's incredible. Peterson showed unparalleled courage and determination."

"We are witnessing history."

"Foles became the first quarterback ever to catch a touchdown in a Super Bowl, with a one-yard touchdown pass from Burton on fourth-and-1 to give the Philadelphia Eagles the lead again."

The entire Bank of America Stadium went crazy. Countless spectators held their heads and even forgot to scream. They just kept mumbling to themselves:
Incredible. Incredible!

The Philadelphia Eagles ended the first half in a stunning manner.
