Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 486 His Pride
"Grass."

After taking a deep breath, Revis still couldn't control himself and cursed viciously again.

"Grass!"

Angry, frustrated, embarrassed——

He just couldn't hold his position.

To be precise, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense made a misjudgment. Almost everyone thought that the Philadelphia Eagles would choose to run the ball, consume the playing time, and force the Kansas City Chiefs to use a timeout. However, Peterson showed his courage and bravery for the third time tonight. He chose to pass the ball without warning.

Fowles connected with Ertz.

The tactics are very simple. Take advantage of the tight end's advantage over the cornerback, and then take advantage of Revis's physical overdraft and decline, and Ertz will eat Revis alive.

After a short pass of seven yards, Ertz continued to advance and scored the first down.

Then, there was a two-minute official pause.

Reed was also caught off guard. Although Reed was slightly better in terms of pre-match preparation, Peterson had a slight advantage in terms of on-the-spot command.

Don't forget that when Peterson was under Reid's command, he stood out because of his agility and sharpness in on-the-spot command.

Reed frowned slightly:

What if Revis can't hold his position? Should they replace Revis and use the backup cornerback?

But the problem is that the ability of the Kansas City Chiefs' cornerbacks is generally insufficient. Even if they replace a player, they are still not as good as before. They still cannot suppress Ertz and Clement. Moreover, the Kansas City Chiefs' cornerbacks are full of injuries, which is the fundamental reason why they temporarily introduced Revis at the end of the season and let Revis start in the Super Bowl.

How to do?
In a defensive play where the Kansas City Chiefs had to stop the Philadelphia Eagles, they got off to a bad start.

Reid's eyes narrowed slightly.

Obviously, Revis also felt frustrated. He was like an ostrich, not daring to look at the coaching staff or the offensive team. He lowered his head to avert his gaze, and his head was filled with messy thoughts. He felt that he might lose his reputation and his career would end in an ugly way.

His pride, his dignity, his persistence, all crumbled like a sand castle.

He was still fighting, but he couldn't tell for a moment whether such persistence was stupid or even a burden to the team.

"Revis!"

A call.

Revis looked up reflexively and saw Levi clapping and cheering.

Levi didn't say much, but stood there firmly and courageously, looking at him with his head held high, and then hit his chest with his fist again.

Revis was stunned, and then he could see the other Kansas City Chiefs players and the huge red waves in the stands behind them, all without exception -

Keep your head up, chest out, refuse to retreat, refuse to surrender, refuse to give up.

They are showing their support through practical actions.

Revis' eyes became hot.

Throughout his career, he has been fighting and fighting, fighting with his opponents, fighting with his teammates, and fighting with himself, everything for himself.

Revis knew that everyone in the league said he was greedy. He kept asking for higher contract renewal amounts before his contract expired. Otherwise, he would fall out with the team and become opposed to the locker room, disrupting the atmosphere in the locker room.

His greed made him unable to find friends in the alliance.

From the New York Jets to the New England Patriots, it was the same. He was ready to renew his contract with the team and impress the team with his outstanding performance; but in the end, the team backed off because of the contract amount he asked for, so that the contract renewal negotiations failed.

After leaving the New England Patriots, he returned to the New York Jets, not because of past friendship, but because the New York Jets offered him the highest salary. It's that simple.

Therefore, everyone in the alliance called him a mercenary.

He does not regret his choice. He firmly believes that it is his own value and he deserves the salary. He will not consider the capitalists. Last year, after losing his job, no one wanted to look at him. Until Bob Sutton, who coached him in his rookie season and is now the defensive coordinator of the Kansas Chiefs, suggested to Reid that it was like a gift from a beggar to find a job for him.

But now.

His abilities were slipping, his body and mind were protesting, and for the first time in his career he seemed unable to use his abilities to the fullest and do his job.

He felt unworthy of the salary check and also unworthy of Sutton's understanding.

However, the players and fans of the Kansas City Chiefs still did not turn away, even though he was a mercenary.

This is the first time.

After going around in circles throughout his career, he never expected that he would find a sense of belonging in his last stop. So, is this the feeling of home?

Everything seems too late.

How to do?
Give up, escape, turn around and leave?
No, he didn't want to. He couldn't.

He wanted to fight for himself and the team. For the first time in his career, he wanted to fight for the team instead of the check or himself.

Revis took a deep breath and looked at Levi again. Confidence ignited in his chest little by little. He raised his head again and took advantage of the official timeout to take a step towards Reed.

"Coach, I can."

Reed was a little surprised, because the Revis he knew was proud and tough. He believed that his ability was there and he could convince the coach and intimidate his opponents without words. He disdained to use words to emphasize and prove himself, so every time he discussed salary, he was always upright and confident.

But now, Revis took the initiative to find him.

Perhaps, the Kansas City Chiefs are indeed growing and transforming, gradually acquiring a different temperament, not just because of their advancement to the Super Bowl.

Reed looked into Revis' eyes.

Then, nodding, Reid gave his answer.

Revis didn't stay for long, turned around and walked towards the court.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs lined up again, and Peterson and Reid started the game again.

It can be seen from the connection between Fowles and Ertz just now that Peterson knows the game is not over.

If the Philadelphia Eagles use their ground offense to kill time and strike out easily without struggling or trying, it means the Kansas City Chiefs still have time to launch their offense.

Peterson will not forget the nightmare of the painful defeat in the second week of the regular season, nor will he forget the miracle of the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the New England Patriots in the divisional round. He refused to leave the Kansas City Chiefs a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, with the hot hand of the Kansas City Chiefs' offense today, things are still uncertain. He cannot and dare not believe that his defense can replicate the miracle to end the game.

So this means that the Philadelphia Eagles still have to win the first attack.

Continue to waste time, continue to waste Reed's timeouts, and more importantly, continue to keep the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team on the sidelines.

and so.

Pedersen refused to be conservative and still showed courage and determination on the tactical level.

One first down, one more first down was enough, and the Philadelphia Eagles were only one first down and two minutes away from their first Super Bowl championship trophy in team history.

Naturally, Reid cannot take it lightly. He cannot take it for granted that the Philadelphia Eagles will choose to run the ball in an orderly manner. The offensive and defensive game continues.

The pressure is still accumulating.

The atmosphere is still heating up.

This is fair to both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
