Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 590 Prove yourself
at last!

The Kansas City Chiefs defense stepped on the brakes in time amid the chaos and crisis, completing a beautiful defense and forcing Roethlisberger to pass the ball incomplete.

Since the second half, the tense and stalemate game atmosphere has continued to heat up, and the entire Arrowhead Stadium is like a pressure cooker that may explode at any time.

Dull, boiling.

Brown: I was open. Holy fucking God, I was open.

It can be seen at a glance that the furious Brown was yelling at Roethlisberger, and other Pittsburgh Steelers players around him stepped forward to dissuade him, pulling Brown away, trying to calm the angry bull down.

People who don’t know would think that the Pittsburgh Steelers are behind in the score when seeing this scene.

Regardless, Brown's outburst does illustrate one point:
The Kansas City Chiefs have finally given up on besieging Brown, and now the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen it. Will they make a comeback and try to connect with Brown?
Tomlin was calculating, and so was Reid.

Second gear, ten yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs still only had Fowler guarding Brown.

The Pittsburgh Steelers still haven’t tried to connect with Brown.

Roethlisberger's quick pass found rookie wide receiver James Washington, who completed a four-yard catch, but before he could turn around, cornerback Nelson came up and pushed Washington directly out of the sideline, ending the offense abruptly.

Three gears and six codes.

The situation suddenly became tense.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense finally found some feeling. When Reid chose to use Fowler to defend Brown alone, it not only released the advantage in numbers, but also the other players besides Fowler regained their concentration. They no longer needed to be distracted by Brown all the time, and the improvement in concentration was immediate.

So, the question is still the same -

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers connect with Brown? And when will they choose to connect with Brown?
Once Roethlisberger reconnects with Brown, the Kansas City Chiefs defense will be pushed into trouble again, and the slight advantage established in the two-game defense will collapse in an instant.

However, on the other hand, if the Kansas City Chiefs can defend this third-down, six-yard run and complete a strikeout, they will be able to gain a brief breathing space, and then the young offensive group will take the field again.

The situation is delicate and stalemate, and the real excitement has just begun.

"Reid vs. Tomlin".

The game took place between the two head coaches.

Without much hesitation or confusion, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced the start of the game.

"Raid!"

"Without warning, without a beginning or an end, the Kansas City Chiefs chose to blitz, with six players rushing the passer, instantly tearing open the pocket and putting Roethlisberger in danger."

"Roethlisberger."

"Roethlisberger withstood Houston's sack and got rid of it. Although his steps were heavy, Roethlisberger's weight firmly controlled his center of gravity."

"Lateral movement."

"Pass the ball!"

"Roethlisberger's pass target is--"

"Brown! Antonio Brown!"

"Brown and Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Fowler form a one-on-one matchup."

"Brown got rid of it, made a beautiful quick stop and turn, and showed incredible footwork, giving third-year cornerback Fowler a good lesson."

"It's almost impossible to shut down Brown with just one cornerback."

"Uh, wait."

"Fowler!"

"Wow, beautiful! Wonderful! I applaud!"

"The pass was incomplete!"

"Fowler, God, Fowler almost intercepted Roethlisberger's pass." Fowler, everything was planned-

He is confident but not blind.

He knew that it was impossible to completely strangle Brown with his current ability, otherwise the team would not have needed to surround him with three people in the first half.

So, Fowler followed Brown closely, entangled Brown's footsteps, but his attention was always on Roethlisberger's pass.

Brown breaks away and Roethlisberger passes the ball.

Happened almost simultaneously.

In a flash, Fowler continued to interfere with Brown in a fake way, but he was prepared in advance and completed the turn while Brown got rid of him.

Push off the ground, jump, and stretch.

What we are fighting for is this slight difference in take-off time.

Because Fowler noticed that Roethlisberger's passing arc was not high, especially when the passing vision was affected. Roethlisberger was tall enough, so he habitually pushed the ball flat or threw it lightly, and the parabola was not fully pulled up. Roethlisberger's short passes were often blocked by the defensive forward. This is a reason that cannot be ignored.

This is Fowler's chance.

Fowler's body had been stretched to the extreme, touching the football as it continued to fly, and he was about to intercept it; however, his body had no support point in the air and he could not continue to explode, and with his back almost parallel to the ground, his arms were unable to exert force.

then.

Change grabbing into supporting.

Push your palms upward and outward.

The flight trajectory of a football has changed completely.

Brown was standing just one step behind him. He had already assumed a receiving stance and was ready to turn and start a series of reactions to sprint. In his mind, he could see himself driving straight into the end zone with the ball and scoring a touchdown. He had even thought of a celebration move, beating his chest like King Kong climbing up the Empire State Building.

However, in a split second, Brown watched helplessly as the football leaped over his head like a playful mushroom in Super Mario, and just… leaped out…

Brown:? ? ?
Wait, what…how…what’s going on?

Brown turned around, but didn't see Fowler, just a red afterimage.

Fowler did not roar or roar. Instead, he ran around Brown and picked up the football. He jogged back to the team's dugout, threw the football gently to Levi, and looked at Levi with clear eyes.

That look clearly said: It's your turn.

Panting and sweating profusely, but with a smile on his face and full of energy.

This scene made Levi smile, and he threw the football to Mahomes, "Sherlock, it's our turn to perform next."

Mahomes caught the football steadily, stood up with a smile, and began to stretch his legs, doing exaggerated warm-up movements with a proud look on his face.

Both the offensive and defensive teams burst into laughter.

Houston was about to celebrate, but saw Fowler rushing back like a gust of wind. He was left alone there, and then he saw this scene.

Slightly stunned, he burst into laughter:

It’s great to be young. You are much more active and energetic than these old guys.

"strike out!"

"The Pittsburgh Steelers struck out, ending their scoring streak."

"The Kansas City Chiefs made a great defensive play!"

"Fowler, the third-year cornerback who joined the team during the offseason, defended Brown perfectly. Obviously, Brown was careless. As the first target of a pass in two quarters, Brown was eager to show his ability, but he didn't stay in position, giving Fowler the opportunity to intercept him halfway."

"Not only Fowler, but the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense also followed suit. The entire pace of the forward movement was very timely, giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a blow. Just when people were worried about when the defending champions would be able to turn the tide, they did not passively wait for opportunities, but took the initiative to change, disrupting the rhythm and keeping the game stalemate."

"Next, the offensive team will take the stage."
