Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 624 Turbulence
Huchi, wheeze.

His chest was burning and every cell in his body was protesting; however, immersed in the excitement of adrenaline gushing out, Levi was completely unaware of this.

On the sidelines, Burns was asking Levi about his condition and whether Hunter needed to be rotated in.

Levi waved his hand and responded with a big smile. Even though he was sweating profusely, his bright eyes could still see the energy burning.

Burns knew Levi. The more difficult and extreme the challenge was, the more Levi enjoyed it. So he nodded to Reed in affirmation.

Levi, stay on the field.

At this time, the Kansas City Chiefs had already arrived near the 37-yard line of the New England Patriots' half, not far from the free kick range.

If they can continue to score touchdowns, that would be great; but if not, in the stalemate situation, the timeout is approaching and there is not much time left before the end of the game. A free kick can also determine the outcome.

In other words, once the Kansas City Chiefs enter the free kick area, they will be able to take the initiative to win again.

Belichick understands this very well.

In an instant, the New England Patriots' defensive intensity and rhythm rose two levels.

Although there are still nearly thirty yards away from the red zone, the New England Patriots now treat this place as a life-and-death line and fight with all their might.

Not giving an inch.

The sudden increase in tempo and intensity even made people suspect that the Kansas City Chiefs' smooth sailing in the first half of this wave of offense and defense was a strategy of the New England Patriots to lure the enemy deep into their territory, and then to explode after a short period of rest and strength to overturn the situation in one fell swoop.

Of course, the possibility is very, very small, and Belichick would not be so crazy, but it can be seen from the side how strong the New England Patriots' defense is.

With an absolutely strong attitude, they forcibly interrupted the offensive rhythm of the Kansas City Chiefs, using three people to surround and stop Levi, and using double defense to stop Kelce in time. Facing the two strongest offensive points of the Kansas City Chiefs, the New England Patriots extinguished the offensive momentum with a head-on confrontation.

Before the Kansas City Chiefs had time to catch their breath, they were already in a third-and-7 situation.

——Three gears and seven codes.

The situation was completely deadlocked. Even if I just stood there, I was sweating profusely and my knees were shaking. I didn't even have the energy to talk trash.

Instead of spending energy on trash talking, it is better to save some energy for a head-on confrontation.

At this moment, one can deeply feel the strength of the New England Patriots. Even after experiencing such a storm during the offseason this year, Belichick still found his focus after the season opened. After a brief fluctuation, he got the team back on track and demonstrated the league's top strength.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs are no weaklings.

Reed started to dispatch——

Hunter came on the scene.

With Levi still on the field, the Kansas City Chiefs used a double running back tactic, fully releasing Levi's diverse advantages and maintaining the possibility of "Chiefs special supply". You can clearly feel the air becoming tense.

From body language to eye expressions, murderous intent filled the air.

The Kansas City Chiefs methodically deployed their formation and prepared to kick off.

Just as Mahomes was about to kick off, he stopped abruptly and stood up again.

scared.

Startled.

Not only the spectators, but the players were also nervous. The New England Patriots defender was almost about to commit an early foul.

In football games, before the quarterback announces the snap, other players can move, but the two front line players are an exception. If the front line players move before the quarterback kicks off, even if it is just a forward movement, it is a yellow flag foul, and the offending party will be penalized five yards. In the entire league, the best at faking a premature foul is Green Bay Packers quarterback Rogers. In the third or fourth down, Rogers can deceive the opponent with a fake kick to induce the defensive front line to move early, and get the first attack without any effort.

Just now, was Mahomes trying to cheat an early foul?

the answer is negative.

Levi, who was originally standing on the left wing, stood up straight, crossed from behind Mahomes, came to the right side, and stood behind Kelce with Hunter.

Hunter and Kelsey were in the front, one on the left and one on the right; Levi was alone behind, and the three of them formed an inverted triangle.

In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs are changing their offensive tactics.

Regardless, the New England Patriots' defense was cautious and alert enough not to commit an early foul, otherwise they would have given their opponent five yards, and the third-down and seven-yard play would have turned into a third-down and two-yard play, which would have been a completely different situation. However, without the early foul, the New England Patriots still needed to be alert:
Levi, why did you change positions?
The positioning of Levi and Hunter, is Hunter used as a wide receiver? Why not just use a wide receiver? Why use a double running back tactic?

The reputation of "Chief's Special" is well-known, and the New England Patriots have to be on guard, and the atmosphere further heats up.

This time, another outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy moved with Levi. Unlike other times, the defense made its position clear from the beginning. He was guarding Levi. Belichick did not use Bentley, who had just suffered a loss at the hands of Levi, but used the experienced Van Noy to match him.

But is this a trap or a strategy?

It is obvious at a glance that coaches Reed and Belichick are playing games again.

Then, everyone held their breath, lined up again, and bent their knees.

The air was completely stagnant. For a brief moment, the earth stopped rotating and time stopped flowing.

Even the heart stopped beating. There was no wind, no noise. Gillette Stadium became unusually quiet, and the entire Fox Castle was silent.

Tighten and push to the extreme.

Until Mahomes uttered that curse word.

"attack!"

In an instant, bang, bang, bang, bang, a full-scale collision.

At the first moment, the Kansas City Chiefs' strange offensive formation of two running backs and a shotgun was fully released.

Left wing, Watkins and Hill.

Right wing, Hunter, Kelsey and Levi.

All five offensive points rushed out without reservation or surprise, but their running routes were completely different.

Watkins runs vertically along the sideline, and Hill cuts across the slot into midfield.

Kelce first rushed to cornerback Jason McCarty and then turned back and crossed the field diagonally, like Zorro's "Z" shape; at the same time, Kelce and Hunter completed a crossover, because Hunter sprinted vertically along the slot, and Kelce and Hill formed two screens in the center, one in front and one behind, running head-on.

Dazzling and ever-changing.

At this point, it can be seen that the passing offense under Reed's coaching is full of uncertainty in just the running route, which completely disrupts the opponent's judgment.

Whether it is zone defense or man-to-man defense, the defense team needs to expend a lot of energy.

At this moment, Belichick adopted a man-to-man defense, because the zone defense required too much energy and the pressure was not enough, they had to play with intensity; then, outside linebacker Van Noy realized a problem -

Where is his opponent, Levi?

Wait, is this... a special gift for the Chief?
