Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 682 Rushing
Jackson, a little panicked—

There is no passing target.

Jackson thought he was mentally prepared. He had seen such situations and conditions countless times in game videos, and he knew the situation he might face. But when it really happened, he realized that he knew nothing about the potential difficulties.

After the kickoff was announced, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense was fully activated:

First, the defense locked down the five receiving points of the Baltimore Ravens. At this moment, the running back lineup this season was plagued by injuries, so the weakness of having no running back who could run and receive was fully exposed. Harbaugh had to adopt the double tight end tactics, but it was not deceptive.

Then they deployed heavy troops in the short pass area, set up a tight zone defense, interfered with Jackson's secondary defensive reading, and continued to retreat, being alert to defend against Jackson's possible sneak long pass while retreating.

Airtight!

Dazzling!

Jackson took a series of steps back to open up space, looked up to find a target for the pass, but he saw a red storm that densely covered the entire court.

Can't breathe.

Jackson panicked because he knew time was running out and he had to pass the ball as quickly as possible. He didn't have time to hesitate, but he really couldn't see any openings or find a target, so he didn't dare to shoot casually.

How to do?
Things shouldn't be like this!

Of course, Jackson was able to attract so many scouts' attention in the NCAA, which also proved that he had something, and he showed his instinct at this moment.

Reflexively, Jackson started.

No passing target?

Then he relied on his best weapon to open up the situation and run with the ball himself.

Tap, tap, tap.

Jackson took the initiative to run out of the pocket and tried to complete the advancement in the no-man's land in the short pass area; but the Kansas City Chiefs have been wary of this move of the Baltimore Ravens. After all, this is their lethal weapon for rebounding from the bottom and winning three consecutive games.

At this point, the short pass area is left open, allowing the Baltimore Ravens to advance some space; however, once they see the gap, the second-line defense will quickly shrink.

However, there are those who are a step ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ secondary.

Chris Jones: (33)

It's him again.

Jones started a beat slow and saw Jackson rushing out; but Jones did not give up. He dived forward and threw his body out recklessly, gritting his teeth and burning his energy.

A pounce.

Jones only touched Jackson's calf and ankle, and had no time to grab it. He could only use his forearm to interfere, like a propeller.

Jackson was distracted and didn't notice Jones behind him. He missed a step and flew out like a bomber.

A dog eating shit.

Jackson fell so hard that he was dizzy and saw stars. He turned over and saw the figure behind him.

Grass!
Jackson couldn't help but cursed -

Three gears and eight codes.

Harbaugh's breath was choked and his head ached. The Baltimore Ravens' offense was already trying to open up the situation, but the Kansas City Chiefs' defense also continued its excellent form, increasing its intensity and tempo at critical moments.

It's not just Jones, the pressure brought by other defensive players is visible to the naked eye.

Harbaugh called a second timeout on the spot and called Jackson over.

"Calm down, the opportunity is still in our hands."

"Remember, we don't need a touchdown, a free kick is enough."

“So, we still have a Hail Mary opportunity.”

At this moment, the Baltimore Ravens were still about 70 yards away from the end zone. According to common sense, it was impossible to challenge the Hail Mary here; but as Harbaugh said, they did not need a touchdown, they only needed to enter the free kick area, which meant that Jackson could achieve his goal by challenging a 40-yard pass.

The opportunity is indeed still in the hands of the Baltimore Ravens.

and.

"Don't think too much. We are sure to win. The worst case scenario is that we have to play overtime. Then it will be a start from scratch for both sides. We are not afraid. It is that simple."

Hubble patted Jackson on the shoulder and looked seriously into Jackson's eyes.

"I believe you." In an instant, Jackson was filled with heroic spirit, and he developed an ambition of "a gentleman will die for his friend". He nodded heavily to show his determination.

Then, the Baltimore Ravens offense took the field again.

Both teams did not hold back and immediately started fighting.

Jackson directly announced the kickoff, trying to catch the Kansas Chiefs off guard.

"attack!"

However, the Kansas City Chiefs defense was fully focused and did not lose focus at all.

The first thing to do is to push off the ground and start.

Raid.

Without warning, Reed attacked.

It wasn't a desperate all-out raid, it was just the addition of two linebackers. More important than the number of people was the proactive attack to break the balance, which the Baltimore Ravens had not anticipated at all.

Pocket, precarious.

Because Jones attracted the firepower, Houston was able to successfully get rid of the cut.

With one step forward and a sprint, Jackson has entered Houston's sight.

Jackson: Oops.

A second ago, Jackson was still stepping back, preparing to open up the formation and look for a passing target.

The next second, Jackson spotted Houston's full step forward. Although Edwards tried to break the defense, Houston's light footsteps made Edwards look like a wooden stake, and he got rid of him in a flash.

Danger, danger, danger!

Jackson still has excellent athletic talent. He made sudden stops and turns, changed directions continuously, and successfully avoided Houston's sack in the crisis. Seeing that Jones was about to break through, Jackson had no time to continue adjusting.

Push off the ground, swing your arms, pass the ball——

Draw the bow and shoot the eagle.

Ahhh, ahhhh, Jackson burst out with all his strength and roared from deep in his dantian.

The football flew out, drawing a thrilling parabola.

Huh!
The entire Arrow Stadium's breathing was cut off in an instant, and thousands of eyes were focused on the flight path of the football, and brains froze.

No way, they won’t be defeated for the third time this season, right?
The football arcs through the sky. Who is Jackson's pass target?

Ten yards!

Twenty yards!
Thirty yards!
He easily broke through thirty yards and fell quickly, flying towards the left sideline. It was obvious that he was trying to avoid right cornerback Fowler and create opportunities from the relatively weak left side of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Not only the spectators, but also Fowler, Houston and others were all looking at the football parabola.

And then... no more.

Because the football's parabola was not long enough, the falling parabola was not controlled. After passing the high point, it fell vertically and hit the ground heavily and weakly.

Like a fallen papaya.

Be it a cornerback or a wide receiver, the closest one is five yards away, which is a no-man's land. Even if you try your best to dive for the ball, there is no way.

Totally out of reach.

Snapped.

The whole audience was stunned——

That's it?

They had been so anxious and worried, but it ended up like this? So why did Jackson use all his strength just now?

ha?
Because it was so unexpected and so sudden, the entire Arrowhead Stadium fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and the air suddenly became quiet.

awkward.
