Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 594: Total Subversion
Mahomes is a little nervous——

Route running, he's not good at it.

He would rather stay back, either helping Levi break screens in the pocket or reading the option offense to run the ball on his own, which is his territory.

Leading the charge at the front?
He is not professional in this matter.

However, now the Kansas City Chiefs need to completely disrupt their rhythm. They cannot continue to move forward at the pace of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Otherwise, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense will become more and more adept.

The chaos is the key for the Kansas City Chiefs' offense to regain its rhythm.

The timing of a trick attack is definitely not random. The key is to catch the enemy by surprise and seize this brief window of chaos.

So, this thing must be done, starting with the quarterback, the entire tactic completely subverts the convention, as well as the passing target and the advancement route.

Mahomes knew he needed to step up.

If there was any chance of this thing being successful, the quarterback would have to be Levi.

Usually, the two help each other and train together. Levi helps Mahomes practice passing the ball, and vice versa. When Levi passes the ball, Mahomes is responsible for catching the ball. There is some tacit understanding between the two.

Originally, the quarterback of this trick attack was Hunter, and Reid hoped to completely subvert it from the inside out, because when Levi passes the ball, people will immediately think of the Chiefs' special in the Super Bowl, which is easy to be discovered and may affect the effect; but even if it is risky, you can't act recklessly. In a dangerous situation, you still have to find a way to guarantee the success rate. In the end, Reid chose Levi.

"Sherlock, just pay attention to me."

"Don't worry about other people. Just follow the planned route and everything will fall into place. Others will help you clear the way."

Mahomes took Levy’s words to heart.

Before the kickoff, his palms were still sweating; but after the kickoff, adrenaline burst out and Mahomes got into the state.

He stuffed the football into Levi's arms, turned away from the pocket, and slipped out of the left slot silently.

The picture is a bit funny.

Mahomes, the sturdy big man, tiptoed lightly across the hardest-hit area of ​​the front line confrontation, just like Tom in "Tom and Jerry" who was about to attack Jerry. The big man hid behind the wall and thought he was hiding cleverly, but he didn't know that he had already been exposed.

But that’s how the magic is done.

Levi and Hunter attracted all attention, but Mahomes actually managed to hide the truth and slipped away without attracting any attention.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Dupree caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of his eye. While he was wondering, he didn't have time to turn his head to observe, but he noticed Levi's movement to run the ball. He subconsciously followed him, bypassed the hardest hit area of ​​the confrontation on the front line, and prepared to tackle Levi to the ground himself.

Mahomes' light footsteps were like those of the "Four Little Swans" as he crossed the line of scrimmage and the front line meat grinder. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out ten yards, crossed the slot and cut into the central area, continued to move forward along the slot, turned while rushing forward, and immediately found Levi in ​​the crowd.

Sure enough, all eyes were focused on Hill and the two wide receivers Watkins on the other side, and there was an unmanned area around Mahomes.

Unbelievable!
Then, Levi passed the ball.

Bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

The arm, fully extended, is just the longitudinal axis of the pass parabola, not aiming for the left sideline, but pushing along the slot into the deep zone.

Moreover, I didn't use my full strength.

It was a long pass, indeed a long pass, not close, but not that far either, because Levi couldn't let the football fly in the air for too long so that the defensive players would surround Mahomes.

The key point is that Levi needs to quickly connect with Mahomes and complete the advancement.

After Mahomes received the ball, he easily got the first attack and continued to advance. As long as the defensive player approached and prepared to collide, he would fall to the ground in advance to protect himself.

Quarterback, there is no need to go hard and fast.

So, it was a thirty-five-yard pass.

After crossing the midfield line, the football fell steadily into Mahomes' arms. It was easy and effortless. There was no difficulty at all.

At this time, after being one, two, three, four, and five beats late, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally realized the crisis.

be cheated!
Moreover, the nightmare is repeated. In the sixth week of the regular season last season, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers at the last minute. At that time, Smith and Levi's connection took a different approach. Instead of aiming at the end zone, they chose the central area. Levi relied on his personal ability to advance on the ground and scored a touchdown, winning the game.

Today, it happened again.

The quarterback became Levi and the wide receiver became Mahomes, but it was still a stalemate situation with the ball passed through the middle, which stabbed the Pittsburgh Steelers' soft spot hard.

Tomlin was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Because it was so unexpected and shocking, the brain was unable to process the information for a while, and there was a blank.

It was during this tiny gap that Mahomes turned around and started advancing with the ball.

There is a smooth road ahead.

Because Hill and Watkins' vertical breakthrough along the sideline was so impressive, the two safeties were slowed down and unable to return to their positions in time.

Perhaps, the person closest to Mahomes at this time was the nickel back Burnett, who turned back halfway on his way to stop Levi, was the first to notice Mahomes, turned around and rushed over quickly.

Burnett gritted his teeth and sprinted at full speed, and the gap between him and Mahomes quickly narrowed.

Getting closer. Getting closer.

Mahomes felt the rolling heat and was hesitating whether to fall to the ground or charge head-on when a red figure appeared and cut him off horizontally. One could even clearly see Burnett's tense face instantly transformed into Edvard Munch's legendary painting "The Scream."

Hula la.

Burnett just disappeared.

——It’s Kelsey.

He is not fighting alone.

Mahomes' confused and nervous mood calmed down a little, he regained his focus, and his slowed pace accelerated again.

Push off. Apply force. Sprint.

The whole world turned into a raging storm, and one could almost hear the roar stirring on one's eardrums.

"Run, Patrick, run!"

Running, running all the way, temporarily putting aside the burden of being the first starter in your career, temporarily putting aside the weight of being the defending champion and the toughness of the Pittsburgh Steelers, returning to yourself, just being yourself. When you start running for the first time, that sense of joy, that sense of wantonness, that sense of freedom fills your chest.

It felt like, if he just ran fast enough, he could fly.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

Mahomes ran faster and faster, across the entire field, the end zone was already within reach, and a black storm was approaching.

Edmund.

Safety Edmond got rid of wide receiver Watkins and became the last gate of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mahomes had no distractions. He knew he should fall to the ground to avoid injury, but at this moment, his boiling blood told him:
Don't stop.

Mahomes pushed off the ground and rushed forward. Not only did he not fall, but he was also speeding up. When the black and red were about to collide, Mahomes actually changed his route to the upper left.

One step. Two steps.

It was just two short steps, but he successfully misplaced the position, causing Edmond's determined tackle to fail, and Mahomes' forward route was opened again.

Only a fool would use brute force to break through.

With one step, Mahomes has entered the end zone——

Ah, ah ah!
He howled to the sky and roared angrily.
