Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 492 Burned out
The body is hollowed out.

The spirit is burning.

Whether it's the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles, they have all reached their limits and are only able to hold on with one breath, continuing to grit their teeth and persevere.

Heavy breathing and burning sweat filled the air with a rolling heat wave, and the enclosed space of the Bank of America Stadium made the entire stadium feel suffocated.

At this point, it depends on who has stronger willpower.

Just now, the Kansas City Chiefs used a no-huddle attack to create a hurricane that roared past; at this time, the Philadelphia Eagles took a breath and seized the opportunity when the Kansas City Chiefs adjusted their breathing to reverse the situation, and the intensity exploded instantly.

On second down and seven yards, cornerback Jalen Mills narrowly missed the connection between Smith and Hunter, unfortunately missed the interception but still created an incomplete pass.

On third down and seven yards, the Philadelphia Eagles made a last-ditch effort and chose to launch a surprise attack and exert full pressure. Linebacker Bradham effectively interfered with Smith's pass, especially the previous pass was almost intercepted, which sounded the alarm for Smith. As a result, the arc of the connecting pass between Smith and Kelce was too high. Kelce tried his best but only touched the football and failed to control it, and the football flew out of the sideline.

Four gears and seven numbers.

The entire offensive and defensive rhythm remained tight, and the Kansas City Chiefs continued the intensity and rhythm of their non-aggregate offense. However, they deviated from the established track by a hair's breadth, and the Philadelphia Eagles defense rose up in time to regain the initiative.

There was no time to breathe, no room to regret, and fourth gear was already right in front of him.

Smith stood there, his hands on his hips, his eyes wavering slightly, a mixture of reluctance and bitterness surging up and tearing apart his rationality:

Is it really not possible?

He really had no energy left. The end zone was so close, yet it seemed like an insurmountable chasm and no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach it.

Desperate.

"team leader!"

There was a sound next to his ears, and at the same time, a heavy force came from his shoulders, dragging Smith back to the ground from the mid-air. Smith suddenly focused his sight, and Levi's determined eyes came into view:
Just a little longer.

Although this last section of the journey is the most difficult, painful and worst part, they have already come here and cannot give up just like that.

"Fourth gear."

Levi said.

Smith took a deep breath, forcing himself to pull himself together amidst exhaustion and confusion, and his slightly shaking pupils and gaze focused again.

At this time, neither player left the field.

Game time: fourteen seconds.

Kickoff position, Philadelphia Eagles half field thirty-seven yards.

Game status, fourth down and seven yards.

It's easy to tell that the Kansas City Chiefs will not choose to punt or take a free kick, but will definitely choose to force a fourth-down attack, and the offense still cannot stop.

Therefore, players from both teams continued to stay on the court.

Moreover, there is still no room for adjustment.

The Kansas City Chiefs had no timeouts, so they had no way to adjust or pass the ball. The communication time between the coaching staff and the quarterback was completely in a state of survival. The Philadelphia Eagles had a timeout, but refused to use it at this moment to give the opponent some breathing space. Instead, the defense wanted the situation to be as chaotic as possible.

then.

The pass was incomplete, but it became an opening for the Kansas City Chiefs to seize their sanity.

In football games, when a pass is not completed, the play time will stop, and the team will have 25 seconds to plan the next offense. Because of this, occasionally when it is very difficult and there is no timeout, the quarterback will choose to throw the ball to stop the clock, thereby wasting an offense and buying time to arrange tactics.

Now, with two consecutive incomplete passes, the Kansas City Chiefs had no time to feel regretful. They seized 25 seconds to deploy their strategy and turned around to launch an offense.

"In the final seconds of the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles performed a 'Philadelphia Special' miracle on fourth down and one yard, setting the tone for the game."

"Now, with the second half entering the countdown, the Kansas City Chiefs faced a fourth-and-7 situation and needed a miracle to keep their hopes alive."

"but."

"The Kansas City Chiefs have a slight advantage in that they are less than 40 yards from the end zone, which is a range where they can try a Hail Mary. At the same time, the game clock has not entered the real countdown, and the Kansas City Chiefs still have two or three passing opportunities. They can completely choose not to choose the Hail Mary and continue to advance, methodically eroding the opponent's territory."

"Such tactical options allow the Kansas City Chiefs to gain a slight advantage." Collinsworth's continuous output of words came out in a torrential downpour, and before he had time to catch his breath, the Kansas City Chiefs had already announced the kick-off.

"attack!"

Smith gritted his teeth. Even though every cell in his body was protesting and he couldn't even stand steadily, he was relying entirely on willpower to hold on. However, he still ignited the last bit of remaining energy and launched an attack.

boom.

The Philadelphia Eagles only used four players to rush the ball, and the pressure was immediately relieved.

Smith made a quick sweep, and the Kansas City Chiefs' receivers shot out like a shotgun, all along a vertical route deep into the hinterland; the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to have anticipated this and followed closely, with the second-line defense implementing a man-to-man tactics and all retreating.

At first glance, it’s clear that this is a Hail Mary alert.

This is how the Kansas City Chiefs reversed and won the divisional round against the New England Patriots, and the Philadelphia Eagles immediately sounded the alarm.

however--

Smith had no time to rejoice or be thankful, because there was no time left in the game, and every second and even every millisecond was crucial.

Retreat, pause, adjust, and shoot.

Smith did not hesitate and continued his quick shots in the last wave of offense.

His arm muscles were sore, his wrist was completely numb, and his delicate passing touch seemed to be sealed in ice, but Smith still completed the pass with a stern look in his eyes.

Whoosh.

Football, through ball.

There is no parabola, but a short, flat and fast through pass.

This is a short pass.

LB BRADHAM: Damn.

Cornerback Darby: Terrible.

The two of them noticed Levi at the first moment.

Levi also took a step forward and broke through in a straight line, but he did not release all his speed. After crossing the line of scrimmage and the ten-yard line, he retreated.

Just in time, Smith passed the ball.

The Kansas City Chiefs' tactical intention was obvious. Lee created a Hail Mary situation, but in fact he still chose to play a safe and steady short pass.

Five-yard pass.

The target of the pass was Levi.

Peterson also kept his eyes open and reminded his defensive team.

Bradham and Darby reacted quickly and rushed over immediately.

Darby was a little slower, but Bradham was responsible for marking Levi. He started promptly and at a very fast speed, and stuck to Levi in ​​the first place.

Squeeze. Collision. Interference.

Even before the pass was in place, Bradham had already seized a favorable position.

He gritted his teeth and was blood-thirsty.

Although Bradham was physically exhausted at this time and was not much better, as soon as he saw Levi, the enemy who had been having his way throughout the game, his high morale was immediately ignited, and he burst out with ten times and a hundred times more energy, even if it meant burning his soul, and murderous intent burst out of his eyes again.

Ah, ah ah ah.

Power, full-blown outbreak.

BRADHAM: He absolutely, absolutely, absolutely would not let Levi make the catch. F**k!
