Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 487 Shattered to pieces
The Bank of America Stadium was like a pressure cooker, with the pressure gradually rising to the extreme and it seemed that it could explode at any time.

Ten yards in one gear.

Peterson seized on the Kansas City Chiefs' vigilant mentality and did the opposite, choosing to run the ball cleanly to maintain the initiative at the tactical level.

Blount, the top running back who had almost no room to play in this game, was unwilling to be overshadowed by Clement, and finally showed his bulldozer strength. In the hard ground advance, encountering the tight defense of the Kansas City Chiefs' front line, Blount actually advanced three yards.

Although the number of advancing yards was limited, Blount fully utilized the heavy and solid characteristics of the ground offense, and the confrontation was once deadlocked, effectively consuming the game time.

Reed, use the first timeout.

Second gear, seven codes.

Foles faked a fax run and handed the football to Blount for the second time in a row.

But this time, the Kansas City Chiefs defense clearly kept up with Peterson's tactical rhythm and stopped Blount with three players.

Blount tried to repeat the same trick. No matter how many yards he advanced, he refused to fall to the ground, refused to die, gritted his teeth and continued to stalemate, wasting time in this way.

However, this time it failed to hold up and collapsed under layers of pressure, ultimately not being able to waste too much time.

Reed, use your second timeout.

Three gears and six codes.

The situation suddenly changed.

So, how will Peterson choose his tactics? Will he continue to use ground running to waste time, play steadily and avoid taking risks at this time; or will he choose a passing attack to break the deadlock, try to get the first attack, continue to let the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive group stay on the court, and push the opponent into despair?
Prediction, layout, and game.

Revis believed that coaches Peterson and Reid must be calculating against each other and their brains were working at high speed; however, to him, things were not complicated.

Look at tonight, with two strong plays on fourth down and one yard, the "Philadelphia Special" turned the Super Bowl into a Pro Bowl performance, taking risks on third down and long yards not three or five times, trusting unknown undrafted players like Clement and Burton, and being full of ambition from strategy to tactics.

Moreover, the execution was perfect throughout the game. The Philadelphia Eagles really played the most daring, confident, crazy and passionate game of the entire season.

In Revis's opinion, the three-gear offensive tactical layout is not worth discussing at all.

Peterson will choose to pass the ball, 100 percent.

Moreover, it is likely that Clement or Ertz will aim at Revis's defensive side as the passing target.

This time, Revis was ready.

Taking a deep breath, Revis kept his attention highly concentrated, temporarily putting aside all distractions, feeling the slightly trembling knees and the burning muscles. He was no longer afraid, but began to enjoy the signals sent by his body. The burning feeling brought him back to his peak years five years ago. He enjoyed the confrontation, welcomed the confrontation, and opened his arms to embrace the confrontation.

"attack!"

Fowles called the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs chose to blitz, with five players rushing the passer and increasing pressure across the board.

Obviously, Reed also chose to be tough and deal with the crisis with an absolutely tough attitude.

what does this mean?
Plain and simple, this means that the linebackers step up and target the quarterback. Naturally, they cannot help the zone defense, and the second-line defense tactics will evolve into a man-to-man defense.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not use this tactic frequently tonight. The fundamental reason was that the cornerbacks were weak and could not cope with the man-to-man defense, so defensive coordinator Sutton had to use zone assists many times. As a result, the Kansas City Chiefs defense failed to capture Foles tonight, not even once.

In fact, Revis is the league's top man-to-man cornerback once in a decade.

Generally speaking, cornerbacks often have the ability to match up with wide receivers and continuously play deep and close defense vertically. There are many such cornerbacks in the league. Revis' excellence lies in the fact that his lateral defense ability is as outstanding as his vertical coverage ability, and he has no problem with the left and right sides. His top-notch change of direction, explosiveness and close footwork are all top-notch among the top.

It is because of this that Revis has earned the title of "Island King", who can cover the entire field and make any top wide receiver return empty-handed.

At his peak, Revis enjoyed the thrill of challenging the opponent's top wide receiver. The stronger the opponent, the stronger he became. He was the nightmare of all the top wide receivers in the league.

In the past few years, people have said that Sherman has surpassed Revis in his prime; in fact, Sherman's ability is limited to the left side of the defensive zone, but Revis can cover the entire field and follow the wide receiver to the ends of the earth.

Of course, that was a glorious past.

In recent years, his physical function has seriously declined. Revis relies more on his judgment, touch, intuition and experience to complete defense. Close defense can no longer keep up with the rhythm. From a typical man-to-man cornerback to a crossover zone cornerback, Revis's game style has been constantly adjusted. And now, Revis has to man-to-man again.

So, who?

Ertz.

Of course it's Ertz.

Still need to doubt?

He, "Island King" Revis, always faces the opponent's number one wide receiver, even if it is a tight end.

The difference is that Revis was not reckless and was not in a hurry to get close to him immediately. He was not worried about Ertz's size, but instead lured Fowles to pass the ball.

Otherwise, if Ertz acted as bait and Fowles passed the ball to Clement, the Philadelphia Eagles could easily complete the third gear conversion. This situation happened more than once or twice today.

Revis made continuous small step adjustments, concentrating on glancing at Ertz and observing Fowles, while not forgetting Clement. This is the basic requirement of zone defense; but Revis remained patient until the moment Fowles passed the ball.

Foles also felt the pressure, and the Kansas City Chiefs' five-man pass rush broke out with a desperate determination, and Houston tore open the pocket and rushed towards Foles.

Danger!

Fowles didn't risk trying to escape the sack, which would have been a disaster if he had dropped the ball, so he took the shot.

The goal of the pass is -

Ertz.

At the first moment, Revis started, took a step forward, stood in front of Ertz, cut off the connection between Ertz and Fowles, and jumped early.

Ertz was shocked.

Obviously, Ertz did not expect that Revis did not interfere closely, but intercepted the pass one step ahead. This was an empirical judgment that Revis was not in the best physical condition.

Ertz was a little panicked.

Watching Revis jump in front of him, Revis' body stretched out completely, leaning back, and his arms extended to the extreme.

The football fell tremblingly, passed over Revis' fingertips by a millimeter, and continued to fly.

missed.

Ertz: Here we go.

REVIS: Damn it.

If he was in peak physical condition, how could Revis miss this interception?

Unfortunately, no if.

But Revis still did not give up, refused to give up, refused to surrender——

Bang bang, bang bang.

The heart is still beating.

Feeling the pull of gravity, he fell to the ground with a heavy weight, supported himself with his right leg, and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to complete a 180-degree turn in mid-air. Without hesitation, like a moth to a flame, and regardless of anything, he threw his body out.

Fight as if your life is burning.

Bloom, as if broken into pieces.

Bang bang. Bang bang.

The roar is surging.
