Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 596: Third Graders
Tap, tap, tap.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones kept pushing on the ground to adjust his center of gravity before starting, just like starting the accelerator of a motorcycle.

Maybe others can't see it, but Jones also has his own battles -

The Kansas City Chiefs are a young team. Their current main lineup is mainly composed of sophomores and juniors. Levi is poised to become the next leader of the team. People including Houston and Berry have all given him recognition. He has been setting an example both on and off the field to change the face of the team. The young players are growing up one by one following in Levi's footsteps.

Just look at third-year cornerback Fowler, who joined the team during the offseason.

He kept watching Levi's back and tried his best, and finally won his own moment in the spotlight in the first game of the new season.

It's grade three now, there's no time to waste any more, it's time to show your ability, not just your potential. Otherwise, like Fowler, you'll have to face the risk of transfer early, and if you're not careful, you'll start your career wandering around different teams in the league.

He doesn't want this.

So, Jones also has his own battle. He is eager to follow in Levi's footsteps. He doesn't need to be anxious or urgent, just take one step at a time; but at least, he needs to move forward.

Even if it's just one step.

"attack!"

Roethlisberger teed off.

heh.

Jones took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Roethlisberger's movements, his attention 100% focused, his ears caught the start command just like the starting gun in a 100-meter race, his footsteps took off, his strength exploded, and the reaction force pushed his body out like a rocket.

Bang bang bang.

A series of collisions, like fireworks blooming.

"My pocket is torn!"

"The Kansas City Chiefs chose to blitz, and with only five players they tore through the Pittsburgh Steelers' pocket protection."

"The football is in...Connor's hands."

"It's a ground attack, Connor is changing his route, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is trying to open up, but!"

"Jones! The Kansas City Chiefs' third-year defensive end cuts into the pocket!"

"Grab!"

"Beautiful, precise, clean and tough! Jones tackled Connor to the ground without leaving any chance for him. Connor seemed a little nervous. He tried to escape but his muscles were stiff and he couldn't move..."

"Oh, ball drop!"

"Connor appears to drop the ball!"

"Jones made a hard and rough tackle to cause the ball to be lost. Connor obviously lost control. Jones was trying to control the ball and Connor was also trying to get the ball back."

Drop the ball!

Felix stood up suddenly, seemingly unaware of the pain in his legs. He clenched his fists and stared at the court intently.

Karen noticed it, and she tried to dissuade Felix from taking care of his health, but seeing the light blooming on Felix's face, so bright and so happy, she was finally able to feel the surge of vitality again.

This was her Felix, the Felix full of energy and hope.

Karen took a deep breath and looked at the court, feeling her heart pounding in her chest and her blood almost burning.

"Ball possession!"

Felix called out.

"Ours, this is ours!"

On the court, things changed rapidly. Before anyone had time to catch their breath, the result had already been decided in the chaos. "Number 59!"

"Kansas City Chiefs' No. 59 inside linebacker Ray Grande jumped out from the corner and successfully controlled the ball. The Kansas City Chiefs completed the ball possession conversion."

"Accident! One hundred percent accident! Who could have predicted this?"

"The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to gain control on the ground, but the Kansas City Chiefs played braver and more decisively, continuing to be aggressive with their blitz tactics."

"Defensive end Jones completed the tackle and caused the ball to be lost, and inside linebacker Ray Grande covered the ball. The two third-year players worked together to complete the ball conversion, giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a positive blow and continued pressure."

"Since the third quarter, the key players who helped the Kansas City Chiefs turn the game around were all sophomores and juniors. After withstanding the test, this group of young people quickly gained their footing and launched a counterattack, and the defending champions regained their style."

Amid the chaos and subversion, Jones felt dizzy and had no time to determine his position. All he could see was a flash of red and black light. He hurriedly searched for the football and finally saw a red figure holding the football tightly and then rolling over and standing up.

Ah, ah ah!
Roaring, roaring, venting passion.

That's Regland.

Because the Kansas City Chiefs' defense finally found its form, and also because as a third-year player, he finally found his presence in the game for the first time.

Jones understood, 100 percent.

After releasing himself, Regland grabbed Jones' right hand and pulled him up, bumping his shoulder and celebrating in this way.

This time, the ball possession change was completed by them working together.

But Jones did not express his passion out loud because he was not satisfied with that.

He knew the game was not over yet, and facing the Pittsburgh Steelers without Bell, their defense still had room for improvement and was far from satisfied.

Just like the defense just now, the Pittsburgh Steelers changed their strategy again, combining passing and running. Although Brown still played the role of bait, the Pittsburgh Steelers' ground opening performance was excellent, which won Connor space to advance. They passed and ran and still crossed the half-court line.

Fortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs' raid successfully contained their opponent; but this does not mean that the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has come to an end. Roethlisberger will make a comeback and Brown is still ready to move.

Jones is not satisfied, will not and cannot be satisfied with this.

The fighting spirit in his eyes is still burning.

But now, they need to give the court to their own offensive team. Jones immediately found Levi in ​​the crowd, and then it was up to them -

Obviously, the competition will escalate further.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense, which has been retreating again and again and has nowhere to retreat, will inevitably make a last-ditch effort and once again face off against the Kansas City Chiefs' offense.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

On the sidelines, Tomlin and Reid started a game.

On the field, the Kansas City Chiefs offense and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense engaged in a head-on confrontation, and the intensity of the battle continued to escalate.

On the one hand, the Pittsburgh Steelers used different strategies in both running and passing offense to open up the situation. Even if the trick offense could not be used frequently, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive strategy had to be adjusted, which allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to successfully find gaps and reopen the situation on offense.

On the other hand, the two teams' tactical games required a re-arrangement and on-the-spot adjustments. The tactics were dazzling and the rhythm was chaotic. There were many variables in each offense and defense. Coupled with the decline in physical strength, deviations gradually appeared in the process of the strong collision, and the situation of back and forth became further stalemate.

As expected, the most stalemate and tense moment of the game officially arrived.

In this offensive wave, the Kansas City Chiefs faced incredible pressure, even more than in the second quarter; but the difference was that they regained their confidence and calmness, and continued to advance despite the shaky and precarious situation.

Time, like physical energy, continued to be consumed. The Kansas City Chiefs were like moving forward in a quagmire, pushing across half the field with difficulty and entering the Pittsburgh Steelers' territory again.

then.

Without warning, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive intensity exploded, trying to regain the rhythm again, making the entire Arrowhead Stadium break out in a cold sweat.
