Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 491 Absolute Initiative
Puff, puff.

The heart is beating wildly.

Peterson is trying to calm himself, but it's obviously not easy.

There was a roar in my mind.

There was no attack by gathering merchants. It turned out to be an attack by no gathering merchants.

In the final seconds of the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles launched a super shock wave, using the "Philadelphia Special" to turn decay into magic and score a touchdown on fourth down and one yard; so now, are the Kansas City Chiefs offering the "Chiefs Special"?

Smith, Alex Smith? The overwhelmed Smith?

But in the decisive moment of the Super Bowl, they used the secret weapon of the no-huddle offense?
absurd!

However, the Kansas City Chiefs completely dominated.

On first down and 10 yards, Smith made a short pass to Hunter, easily gaining seven yards and going out of bounds.

On second and third, Smith found Kelce for an easy 4-yard conversion that went out of bounds.

The team had speed, rhythm, explosiveness, and control. Although some time wasted in the opening of the game using Levi's ground attack, the subsequent attack without concentration completely broke out and quickly made up for the wasted time.

Take the initiative firmly.

The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling to cope.

Although the Philadelphia Eagles' second-line defense was still highly focused and not distracted at all in their close-range defense, they were completely passive and were defeated by Smith's continuous and quick short passes. The pressure that the defense team tried to create was completely ineffective.

Step by step, the Philadelphia Eagles defense is crumbling.

Who could have imagined this?
On the court, Smith was focused and at full strength, his little universe was burning, he firmly grasped the opportunity, and maximized the power of short passes in his comfort zone. After playing the best game of his career, he went to the next level and played the most brilliant two minutes of his career.

Peterson, caught off guard.

If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before the Kansas City Chiefs score a buzzer-beating touchdown, and they won’t even have to try a Hail Mary.

"Think! Doug, think!"

Peterson forced himself to calm down. What should he do in a non-huddle attack?
The answer lies at quarterback.

Pressure, the defense must put pressure on the quarterback and cannot be led by the nose. If the defense chases the football, their legs are destined to not be able to outrun the football. They must nip the pass drive in the bud.

So, is this the correct answer?
No one knows.

However, Peterson had no time to hesitate, as the no-huddle offense continued and the Philadelphia Eagles had to respond, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Just now, when Peterson noticed something was wrong, the first order he tried to issue was "disperse". The second line of defense needed to stop the loss in time -

The defense can let the Kansas City Chiefs catch the ball, but they can't let them keep pushing and waste time in this way.

But now, this tactic can't keep up with the rhythm, and the Philadelphia Eagles need to change their strategy.

"Press on."

Peterson gave the order.

All-round pressure, from defensive line to linebacker to cornerback and safeties.

Philadelphia Eagles defense needs to be aggressive and proactive in applying pressure——

They would stick to the receiver from the moment the ball was kicked off and change their strategy. The safety, cornerback and a linebacker would keep a close eye on the five receiving points, while the other two linebackers would join the defensive line to rush and apply pressure on the front line to disrupt Smith's rhythm.

"attack!"

The Kansas City Chiefs' no-huddle offense continued to run at a high speed, avoiding leaving any breathing space as much as possible and firmly keeping the initiative in their own hands.

However, this comes at a price.

While the Philadelphia Eagles defense was busy, the Kansas City Chiefs offense was also burning up energy. They had already exploded throughout the game and the little energy left was supported by their last breath.

That is at this time.

The Philadelphia Eagles defense suddenly burst out with strength and reversed the disadvantage in one fell swoop.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

In the confrontation on the front line, one could clearly feel the overwhelming force, rushing towards Smith with bared fangs and claws, unreasonably. Smith: …

My knees are shaking.

Today, Smith has performed exceptionally well, even though he was sacked once; but don't forget that as a traditional pocket quarterback, he has dodged four sack crises tonight by relying on his old pocket footwork.

At least four times.

Smith has tried his best. He has been fighting and persisting. The non-concentration attack just now was challenging his limits.

At this moment, the pressure turned into a substantial air wave, like a heavy punch hitting Smith's nose.

Uh.

A muffled groan.

Smith's steps were a little disordered, but he still clenched his teeth and held his breath. He crouched down and dodged the oncoming tackle. He could feel a gust of wind hitting his cheek. He slightly tilted his body, raised his hand and threw the football lightly.

A flick.

Oops!

As soon as the football left his hand, Smith realized that his wrist was not flexible enough and he used too much force, causing the arc of the pass to hit the ground hard.

However, Smith had no time to think, as defensive end Graham had already rushed over. Although Graham realized that Smith had already made a shot and consciously moved sideways to avoid a rough collision with the quarterback, the two still rolled together.

Smith ignored Graham and looked up quickly.

Levi, with a trick of catching the moon from the bottom of the sea, turned the tide and caught the ball before the football was about to hit the ground; but he eventually lost the initiative due to his awkward catching action and was tackled to the ground by Bradham and Darby.

three yards.

Just three yards and no out of bounds.

At the moment when Smith was frustrated, Reed had already decisively used the third and final timeout and stopped the time without hesitation.

Huchi, wheeze.

Both the offensive and defensive teams were flushed in the face and sweating profusely. Their knees were trembling from exhaustion. This wave of attack without any concentration had completely burned up the last remaining energy of both the offensive and defensive teams.

Huchi, wheeze.

Not only the players, but every audience member who was watching the game at this moment was no exception. The audience inside and outside the TV were all panting, deeply feeling the stalemate of the game at this moment, and their chests almost exploded.

The brain went blank because of the heat.

"Grass."

It was a rare occasion that Smith cursed. It was because of him that the continuity of the Kansas City Chiefs' non-convergence offense was forcibly interrupted.

Game time: thirty-nine seconds.

The offensive team is in position, thirty-seven yards in the opposite half.

Here, it was close to a free kick; but a free kick was not enough for the Kansas City Chiefs, they needed a touchdown, which was the only possibility to turn the game around.

However, the Wu Ju Shang attack was interrupted, not only the continuity of the attack was interrupted, but also the last bargaining chip for controlling the game time was squandered.

Game suspension:

Kansas City Chiefs, 0.

Philadelphia Eagles, 3.

The situation changed quietly. The Philadelphia Eagles' defense held on to the situation and did not collapse completely. They stepped on the brakes in time.

But there is no time to grieve or to regret.

"Alex, the next wave of attack..."

The voice coming from the headset was not offensive coordinator Nagy, but Reid.
