Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 817 Going through wind and rain
Stand at attention, line up, and get ready to go on stage.

The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive players stood in neat rows with their heads held high.

Houston watched the scene in front of him, and even though his knees could no longer support him and he sat tiredly on the bench, panting, he still stood straight.

Someone sat down on the side.

It was Berry, "Old man, are you still okay?"

Houston took a deep breath, but his lungs felt as if pierced by countless embroidery needles, filled with blood, and even breathing was turning into a kind of pain.

However, Houston smiled and said, “No.”

Houston turned to look at Berry. "Every part of my body is protesting. They are ready to go on strike. But Eric, do you believe it? I want to be on the field again. I want to fight those guys again."

"I'm not done yet."

A sense of pride ignited in my chest.

Berry followed Houston's gaze and looked at the back of No. 23.

"The game isn't over yet."

They're not the only ones.

In the stands, Jenna couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team standing neatly at the edge of the field waiting to take the field.

She tried to vent something, tried to express something, but couldn't find a way.

A voice came from not far away.

“As you walk through the storm, keep your head up and don’t fear the dark.”

That's...Karen.

Stand up, look determined, stare at the court, and sing loudly.

Aside, Felix looked up at his mother with shock and astonishment.

This scene hit Jenna without warning.

She knew that no matter what happened, Karen would accompany Felix to the end, just like her. She should not let Anne be lonely. She would always open her arms and provide a harbor for Anne.

Like the Kansas Chiefs.

Tears just fall like that.

But Jenna didn't care. She didn't wipe away her tears. Instead, she stood up and joined Karen. No matter how many storms and thorns there were ahead, they would never let their children walk alone.

will never.

"At the end of the storm there is a golden sky and the sweet song of the lark."

Not uplifting, not intense, not passionate, not grand.

Even a little gentle.

However, the singing filled the entire stadium and lingered in Arrowhead Stadium for a long time.

"Forward, through the wind; forward, through the rain.

Perhaps, dreams will eventually be unfulfilled.

Go ahead, go ahead! With hope in your heart, you will never walk alone! "

Maybe, they will win; maybe, they will lose, everything is possible.

But, no matter what, they will never walk alone.

It was grand and vigorous, and the entire Arrowhead Stadium was united as one.

Mahomes looked at Levi in ​​disbelief.

Levi looked up and quietly admired the splendor before his eyes——

Compared to the insults and curses at Gillette Stadium, the gentle sea of ​​fire in front of us is more inspiring, because love is more powerful than hatred.

"Sherlock, here we go."

Levi patted Mahomes' shoulder gently, put on his helmet as he entered the stadium, and walked leisurely and relaxed, as if this was the first wave of offense in the game.

Mahomes took a deep breath and caught up with Levi.

They are ready.

The Kansas City Chiefs offense and the New England Patriots defense lined up again.

The New England Patriots' defensive formation can be seen at a glance - it is in the shape of a "concave" character, guarding the deep area and the sideline, focusing on Hail Marys and sideline passes out of bounds, and using the playing time to eliminate danger as much as possible.

With a clear strategy and clear goals, the New England Patriots' defense appeared exceptionally calm, deployed their tactics in an orderly and targeted manner.

Firstly, there is little time left in the game.

Secondly, Reed only had one timeout.

Third, the Kansas City Chiefs' secret weapon has been exposed. Without Hunter's assistance, Levi no longer has the surprise effect he had last season, and the team does not have a player like Burkhead who can win by surprise.

Everything is laid out in the open.

A quick look can tell that the New England Patriots did not choose to play one-on-one defense and still insisted on zone defense, because Belichick knew that Reed's tactics might have many variables, and the New England Patriots should believe in the power of the collective rather than rely on individual performance.

Therefore, we should form a regional defense and help each other.

It can be clearly noticed that the defensive players' eyes kept moving around Levi, Kelce and Hill, the three key targets of defense.

Once Mahomes chooses these three as the passing targets, what awaits them may be a storm, a three-man defense or even a four-man defense.

Belichick refuses to repeat the same mistake.

In the difficult situation, Reed's only breathing space was the score difference.

"31:28".

Three points, just a free kick.

In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs can choose to challenge for a touchdown and win the game, or they can choose to tie the score with a free kick and enter overtime.

The point is, overtime means starting over, is there no problem with the Kansas City Chiefs' physical fitness?

It's hard to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs are the ones who need to worry about their physical fitness. With the rotation in the 17th week of the regular season and a bye in the first week of the playoffs, the defending champions have had enough rest and should be stronger.

But don't forget, the New England Patriots have a similar schedule.

The key is experience.

Today's bad weather disrupted the rhythm. The New England Patriots are experienced and have more appropriate physical distribution and adaptability; the Kansas City Chiefs paid the price for their youth.

Therefore, from a theoretical perspective, Reed may not be willing to enter overtime, but Belichick does not mind facing the test of overtime.

Therefore, this also allows the New England Patriots to be more relaxed.

The situation is indeed very, very difficult.

However, there was no time to worry or get nervous because the countdown after the kickoff was about to end and the Kansas City Chiefs had to kick off.

Thirty-nine seconds, our side has twenty-five yards, and the first gear has ten yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs are ready.

"attack!"

Mahomes announced the opening kickoff, and the New England Patriots' defensive front line immediately tightened up.

There was no sudden attack, and there were still four players rushing the ball, with the other players all moving away from their defensive positions; but precisely because of this, the defensive front line's pressure was significantly tougher, refusing to let Mahomes pass the ball easily.

However, Mahomes turned around and handed the football to Hill without hesitation.

Not a short pass, but a run.

Not Levi, but Hill.

Belichick: ???
Even someone as experienced as Belichick was confused by Reed's offensive tactics. Did Reed forget that there were only 39 seconds left in the game?
In a surprise move, the New England Patriots defense was caught off guard.

Levi opened the screen and Hill advanced with the ball.

Ten yards.

Hill only advanced ten yards and watched the New England Patriots defense quickly close the circle. Continuing to advance would be a pure waste of time.

Hill fell to the ground.

Just finish this advancement cleanly and neatly by yourself.

Then, Reed used his last timeout.

Game time: thirty-three seconds.

With just six seconds, the Kansas City Chiefs easily got a first down.

Without any collision or even contact, the Kansas City Chiefs completed the advance and got the first attack. The entire advance seemed easy and leisurely.

Belichick had a bad feeling that Reed might be playing a big game, trying to get into the Hail Mary zone? Should he change his formation?
