Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 627 Equal Opportunity
Tap, tap, tap.

Devin McCoy completely overturned the situation in a flash, pulling the New England Patriots back from the edge of the cliff, while pushing the Kansas City Chiefs to the edge of the cliff. The entire situation was completely reversed, and his figure driving straight in made Kelce and Hunter's desperate pursuit look particularly embarrassing.

At this moment——

A figure rushed out from the side, like a bullet train, rushed towards Devin and hugged Devin's waist.

Pull out the willow trees!

Vertical bombing!

Devin's smile was frozen in the corners of his mouth, his heart went through a bungee jumping experience in just one second, and then was swallowed by the oncoming force, lying on the ground like a dead fish.

The counterattack was cut off.

Huchi, wheeze.

The air was burning, the scorching breath and the frantic heartbeat intertwined, so that Gillette Stadium fell into a state of shock, and for a moment it was unable to react, and it took a whole beat to realize what was happening.

Interception!

"Clap! Clap!"

"Clap! Clap!"

The uniform roars instantly flooded the entire stadium like a thunderstorm.

Mahomes was in a painful struggle.

"Mahomes' desire to pass the ball forward and to deep areas is too strong. He often ignores the situation and takes risks in passing the ball. He lacks the calm judgment of a quarterback. His secondary defense reading ability and on-the-spot decision-making ability are questionable."

The scouting report from that year came to mind again.

If you say that this scouting report has no impact on Mahomes' mentality, that is a 100% lie; plus, after the draft, the overall evaluation of Mahomes, the tenth overall pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round, "within the league" was only "C+", and Mahomes himself also had a judgment.

Therefore, after entering the league, Mahomes has been learning from Smith, trying to make up for his shortcomings and continue to grow into a player who is truly qualified to start.

Mahomes thought he was up to it.

The regular season started with five consecutive wins, and he also showed calmness and rationality at the critical moment against the Pittsburgh Steelers; and just now, he and Levi completed a long pass connection touchdown, everything proves this point.

However, at the critical moment, the old problem recurred.

He shouldn't risk passing the ball long to Hill, Kelce is the best choice.

Because Kelce has the advantage of positional advantage, and it is a wise move to control the game time through middle passes and then keep Brady on the sidelines to firmly grasp the initiative.

Look, if you calm down and analyze, everything seems to make sense and the logic is clear; but in the game, at the critical moment, your brain gets hot-headed, and you become impulsive and risky.

The interception was 100% his fault.

Mahomes lowered his head, feeling frustrated, angry and aggrieved. The complex emotions continued to collide and pull, and he almost exploded.

"…Sherlock."

"Sherlock!"

The call exploded on his eardrums, and Mahomes raised his head suddenly, and then saw Levi squatting in front of him with his eyes level.

"Sherlock, it's not your fault."

Levi could see Mahomes' guilt and regret, and fell into deep self-blame.

This was an interception that no one wanted to happen; it wasn't entirely Mahomes' fault.

Besides, there are more important things at hand than interceptions.

Seeing Mahomes about to speak with a look of remorse on his face, Levi stopped him.

“The game is not over.”

This is the key point. "Sherlock, did you hear that? The Fat Lady's singing hasn't ended yet. Everything is still possible. We haven't lost the game. The chances are still equal."

"We need to cheer up and stay focused, there is still a battle to come."

The game is not over until the final whistle blows.

It has been like this from last season to now. They have been fighting game by game. Now is not the time to give up.

"45:45".

It's still a tie, the balance of victory and defeat has not tilted at all, and the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots still have equal chances.

Mahomes looked at Levi's determined eyes, thousands of words stuck in his throat, but he finally swallowed them all, nodded heavily to express his affirmation, the fighting spirit in his eyes was rekindled, and he stood up with Levi.

Turn around and take a step.

Levi, Mahomes and others returned to the sidelines, high-fived their defensive players one by one, and handed over the responsibility of winning or losing to their teammates who fought side by side.

Houston looked at the young faces around him and instantly felt a surge of ambition and passion.

"No regrets!"

They will leave everything on the court and walk away with their heads held high regardless of whether they win or lose.

In an instant, Jones also became full of heroic spirit.

"No regrets!"

One by one, they high-fived each other, bumped shoulders with each other, and appeared on the scene with murderous intent.

Turning his head, Levi saw Hill, whose muscles were tense, clenching his jaw tightly, staring at the court intently, with all the complicated emotions in his eyes——

He was as upset as Mahomes.

Levi bumped Kelsey's shoulder, and the slightly depressed Kelsey suddenly looked up. Levi signaled Hill with his eyes, and Kelsey understood.

Kelsey and Levi exchanged glances, took a deep breath to cheer themselves up, and walked towards Hill.

Despite being tired, despite their trembling knees, despite their calves almost failing to stand, all the Kansas City Chiefs players remained standing and no one sat down. They stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines, watching the battle on the field.

There are two minutes and twenty-three seconds left in the game.

The score is still tied, so anything is possible in terms of suspense over the outcome.

However, the New England Patriots have a slight advantage.

Firstly, the morale boost brought about by the interception.

Secondly, Devin McCarty's return helped Brady get a position near the midfield line, and they are currently attacking on the 41-yard line of the New England Patriots' half.

The opportunity lies in the hands of Belichick and Brady.

Obviously, the alliance has been around for nearly twenty years and they know how to deal with such a situation.

Originally, at this moment, the best strategy would be to choose ground running to control the game time and then look for opportunities to complete the pass attack and finally advance to the free kick area to win the game. What's more, the New England Patriots' ground offense shined in this game and they showed top performance in the first half.

However, at the critical moment, Belichick once again handed the responsibility of winning or losing to Brady. The elite quarterback showed his unparalleled control ability in the short pass area and cleverly used Gronkowski's presence. Whether as a passing target or as bait to attract firepower, the New England Patriots' passing offense always took a half step ahead of the Kansas Chiefs.

Just half a step, not much, each pass advances only four or five yards, and the Kansas City Chiefs' defense has excellent secondary reaction and follow-up defense; but in the situation at this moment, this little advantage is enough.

After a confrontation and a tug of war, the New England Patriots advanced across half the field, cut into the 35-yard line, and then came to a position similar to that of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense continued to exert its strength, forcing the New England Patriots into a third-down, 10-yard deficit and launching a surprise attack in the third down.

In desperation, Brady hastily connected with Gronkowski.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense was fully focused and saw through Brady's tactical intentions at the first opportunity, double-teaming Gronkowski closely.

A close call!
