Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 816 Reluctant
"attack!"

Houston locked his eyes on Brady, and did not act rashly this time.

Edelman, or Gronkowski?
Houston knew that Brady had two offensive opportunities, and if the fourth-down attack was included, there would be three more; but the defense only had one chance, and one mistake would lead to a complete loss.

So, Houston needs to focus, 100 percent.

His eyes were fixed on Brady, and then he saw Brady raise his hand, ready to pass the ball in the direction of Edelman.

start up?

No, Houston was not fooled and kept a watchful eye -

Edelman is already the focus of defense; and in the narrow space of the red zone, Edelman has no room to display his abilities, which is not the best area for him to display his abilities.

If it's Gronkowski, that's a different story.

And, even though Houston was extremely tired, he was not distracted. He noticed the New England Patriots' double running back tactics in this offensive wave.

In addition to Michel, the second running back Rex Burkhead also appeared on the field.

In this game, Burkhead's running performance on the ground did not improve much, with eight carries gaining only 21 yards; on the contrary, as a receiving point, he had four catches for 33 yards, which was a good performance.

At this time, Burkhead came on the court at a critical moment, and Houston didn't think Belichick would waste a position and send out a useless player.

So, all in all, Brady's targeting of Edelman looked like a bait.

At least Houston's instincts didn't sound the alarm.

Sure enough, a fake move.

Brady retracted his motion and instead of passing the ball, he turned around and handed the football to Michel.

Run the ball!

The New England Patriots once again chose to run the ball on the ground to continue to waste the game time.

However, Houston cannot take it lightly and must intercept Michel quickly.

Push off the ground and step forward, all in one go.

Houston immediately laid across the slot, blocking Michele's path, but he noticed the handoff between Brady and Burkhead in the corner of his eye.

Wait, what's going on?

The fake pass was followed by a fake handoff, using a pass to cover the double running back tactics. Is Burkhead the real killer of the New England Patriots?

Belichick is crazy.

However, Houston had no time to regret its misjudgment and responded promptly on the second try.

Michel came head-on and hit Burkhead, trying to break the block; Houston dodged to the side, staggered out of position, brushed past Michel's body, staggered on his left leg to support his body, and rushed towards Burkhead.

Berghead noticed and, instead of ducking, ran head-on into Houston.

Before Houston could gain a foothold, the force was already overwhelming.

boom.

With a muffled groan, a bloody smell instantly exploded in Houston's mouth, but Houston was not shaken. He rushed forward head-on, gritting his teeth tightly, and his shaky body crashed into Berghead again.

Even if it breaks into pieces.

The next second, the power was misplaced.

Berghead staggered back, moving to the right and stumbling out of position.

Houston felt his body lighten and he was about to pounce forward. At the critical moment, he gritted his teeth, and incredibly spun with his left leg as the center, raised his right leg, and pounced towards Berghead.

Just a little bit closer.

Houston was exhausted, but his knee refused his request for a third effort and he collapsed completely. He fell straight down and watched Berghead rush out in the chaos.

Grass.

Houston couldn't control himself, "Justin, stand up, stand up now, it's not over, it shouldn't be over, it can't end like this. Ah, ahhhh!"

However, the body did not respond, remained motionless, and had no strength at all.

"Birkhead?"

"God, who is Burkhead?"

"But..." "Michel broke the block and cleared the way for Burkhead, and Burkhead seized the opportunity!"

"Burkhead, Burkhead escapes Murray's tackle, Burkhead breaks into the end zone."

“Touchdown!”

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! The entire Arrowhead Stadium fell into despair!"

"New England Patriots touchdown! Dear viewers, the New England Patriots have unbelievably completed another touchdown to overtake the score. This is a near buzzer beater. The New England Patriots have firmly grasped the key to victory."

"God, Burkhead! Rex Burkhead emerges as the New England Patriots' superhero!"

"But who is Burkhead?"

He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 2012th pick in the sixth round in , but he did not perform well in the first six seasons of his career.

Including this season, Burkhead's regular season performance was also lackluster. He only appeared in eight games as a rotation player, and most of the time he only played as a role player.

However, in the most important game of his career, Burkhead took the court and took on the heavy responsibility given by Belichick. He seized the opportunity and repaid Belichick's trust with unparalleled performance.

A touchdown.

This is competitive sports, where miracles often occur at unexpected moments.

This was true for Levi last season, and it was true for Edelman and Burkhead tonight.

"31:28".

The New England Patriots lead.

“…A near-kill.”

"The New England Patriots did it again, standing on the edge of the cliff and turning the tide. Is the situation in Week 6 of the regular season about to happen again?"

"But now, the game is not over, pay attention, the game is not over yet."

"Thirty-nine seconds. The New England Patriots gave the defending champions thirty-nine seconds to fight back. Everything is possible. Never underestimate the Kansas City Chiefs. They still have a chance to challenge the Hail Mary."

"The game is not over yet."

Arrowhead Stadium, the wind is blowing hard—

A gust of cold air came crashing down on us, completely suppressing the heat wave. The entire stadium was in danger and fell into silence.

Either perish in silence or explode in silence.

Houston looked at Levi, "…I'm sorry."

Hard, bitter, hoarse, and the throat is almost voiceless.

Looking at Houston, who was barely standing and seemed like he might fall apart at any second, the reluctance, the pain, and the sadness weighed down his shoulders.

It was obvious at a glance that Houston was exhausted.

Not only Houston, but all the players on the defensive team looked like they had crawled out of hell.

Murray lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly, tears flashing in his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. He used all his strength to try to control himself.

He wasn't even sure if he had the right to cry.

This game is so important that it even goes beyond a simple win or loss.

They didn't want to and couldn't lose, but in the end, they still ended up in this position.

Then, Levi smiled.

"Hey, what's going on? One or two seem to have lost the game."

"Everyone cheer up, hold your head high, open your shoulders, and face the result of the game with dignity. We will stay on this field without regrets. No matter what the result is, we can face it calmly."

Houston looked up. "If I ever ..."

If he gritted his teeth a little longer, if he exerted a little more strength, if he fought harder, would the result be different?
But Levi interrupted, "No ifs."

"Captain, what we need is not ifs, but fighting to the end. Don't forget that everything is not over until the end of the game."

"We still have thirty-nine seconds."

"Hey Sherlock, are you ready?"
