Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 750 Come here
"Fly! Fly! Fly!"

The whole place roared.

Even if the Indianapolis Colts scored the first touchdown, so what?

The Kansas City Chiefs have gone through so many trials and tribulations this season, but they have remained undefeated at Arrowhead Stadium. They are not afraid of any opponent.

The most important point is that their offensive group has never been afraid of any team. Whether it is passing offense or ground offense, they are undoubtedly the best in the league. The Kansas City Chiefs are confident in starting an offensive battle with any team.

If the Indianapolis Colts want a head-to-head matchup, bring it on, Arrowhead Stadium is always open for them.

The moment Levi came on the court, the stadium was filled with cheers.

Shouting, roaring, and roaring to the next level, the mighty red waves were like boiling magma, igniting the entire Arrowhead Stadium.

"Standing here again, everything is brand new, starting from scratch. There is no benefit of defending champions, no winning streak in the regular season, and everything is overturned and started again. They may win, and we may lose."

"It's that simple. If we still have a condescending mentality and think that we can easily beat our opponents just because we are the No. 1 seed, then we will be the ones who fall in the end."

"but."

"We didn't get here by luck, now is the time to show our strength."

"I still don't have confidence, but we will win."

Short and powerful.

The eyes of the Kansas City Chiefs players were all on Levi, and that handsome face was shining with unprecedented determination and confidence.

Go forward!

Levi's eyes scanned over his ten teammates one by one, making sure everyone saw his eyes and that everyone completed the communication.

Then, a smile rose.

"Hey, we're not fighting alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Levi looked at Mahomes.

Mahomes got the hint, "Count to three!"

"one."

"two."

"three!"

Shouting in unison, "Fly!"

Turning around, they could see the surging crowds all over the Arrowhead Stadium; and Levi's eyes were looking at the camera flying in the air not far away -

He knew that Anne, Felix, and the people in the Old Oak Tavern were all watching the live broadcast and fighting alongside them.

The line of sight and communication through the camera, thousands of people standing at the Arrowhead Stadium at the same time, fighting with them.

Felix's smile completely broke out, "Mom, the rookie is looking at me, the rookie is looking at me. Fly, fly! Aaaaah!"

Karen was not idle either. She raised her hands and cheered along with the others, "Fly, ahhhh, ahhhh!"

Then, Levi retracted his gaze, put on his helmet, and focused his mind completely.

We will win. We will win!
Finally, Arrowhead Stadium quieted down, avoiding interfering with the offensive team's conversations and connections, and watching with bated breath and full concentration amid the excitement and turmoil. "Attack!"

Mahomes's kickoff command pierced the sky, cutting a hole in the foggy sky, and cheers, screams, and roars poured down like a waterfall.

Shotgun formation.

In the first wave of attack, the Kansas City Chiefs launched an all-out offensive posture, which was completely different from usual. So, was this a smokescreen?

One step, two steps, three steps.

Mahomes stood in the pocket, stepped back continuously to open up space, raised his chin slightly to scan the entire court, and it can be seen from his posture and movements:
He's looking for a pass.

This is the passing offense. There are no smoke bombs, no Chiefs' special supplies, and the shotgun formation is exerting its original power.

From any perspective, this is a normal offensive tactic and there is no need to make a fuss. After all, the Kansas Chiefs have demonstrated their strong offensive firepower many times this season; but never forget one point:
The shotgun formation is so powerful because it opens up the diversity and possibilities of passing offense.

Amidst the gazes of thousands and thousands of people, Mahomes was still moving and adjusting. His sight went beyond the short pass area where the two forwards were entangled, and extended infinitely all the way to the deep area. This meant that -

Long pass!

On the first offensive wave of the opening, are the Kansas City Chiefs ready to aim for the end zone to launch a fatal attack?
This is neither reckless nor adventurous, there are reasons behind it.

This season, the Indianapolis Colts' defense has performed fairly well, ranking in the middle of the pack, with their regular-time stats even better than those of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense.

However, the Indianapolis Colts rank third-worst in the league in pass rush pressure rate, with only 20.0% of their snaps being pressure, or blitz, on the quarterback.

Judging from the numbers alone, the bottom ten teams in the league are all very similar, with only a few decimal points such as 20.1% and 20.2%. Although the number of quarterback raids is not large, the Indianapolis Colts' pass rush pressure data is not as bad as it seems.

The real key is that the strength and ability of the Indianapolis Colts' defensive front is... no.

This offseason, after the farce of New England Patriots offensive coordinator McDaniels, the Indianapolis Colts finally found their footing. His old acquaintance Reitch took over the responsibilities of head coach, reorganized the entire coaching team, and re-established the team's tactics.

Before last season, the Indianapolis Colts' defense was in a "3-4" formation, but after research and discussion, the new coaching staff, which had been completely replaced inside and out, adjusted to a "4-3" formation this season at the suggestion of the new defensive coordinator. The essential purpose was to increase the intensity of the pass rush pressure.

However, the reality is very skinny.

The Indianapolis Colts' defensive line is not outstanding. What's worse, they have been hit by injuries continuously, and even reached a point where no one was available. As a result, the team had to promote players from the training group to starters, and a group of small players formed their own defensive line.

The coaching staff also knows the importance of pass rush pressure, but without power, intensity and frequency, head coach Reich is helpless.

In desperation, Reich had to make adjustments. Instead of aimlessly insisting on rushing the pass, he should put the linebackers' strength into pass defense and ground defense.

It is also because of this that the overall data of the Indianapolis Colts' defense is still very good, and they successfully made it to the playoffs.

In the divisional round, Reich was also aware of the Kansas City Chiefs' powerful offensive firepower, and the Indianapolis Colts' defense would be under incredible pressure; despite this, Reich did not choose to start pressuring at the start, refusing to be led by the opponent and opening the game at his own pace.

The price is to give Mahomes enough space and time, give Mahomes enough freedom, let the young second-year quarterback breathe freely in the pocket, raise his chin, aim at the backfield, and prepare for a fatal blow at the beginning of the game, destroying the confidence of the Indianapolis Colts defense.

But is the situation really that simple?

Could it be that Reitch, who led a wounded and faltering team into the playoffs for the first time as a head coach in his career, really couldn't see this scene coming?
The answer, of course, is no.

Looking around, the white jerseys with blue trim on the Indianapolis Colts looked like waves wrapped around huge red waves, spreading all over the field.

Reich watched Mahomes' move: It was exactly what he wanted.
