Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 818: The Power of Home Field
Tick, tick.

The sound of the hourglass gently hits the eardrum, disrupting the rhythm of the heartbeat, making me uncontrollably anxious and nervous.

So what is Reid planning? Is it like last season's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers?
So should Belichick change his lineup to avoid last season's divisional round ending?

I have many thoughts.

However, time is equally fair to Reid and Belichick.

Reid had no time to hesitate and immediately directed Mahomes' next offensive attack.

The same goes for Belichick, the defensive team never took the initiative.

"Keep your eyes on number 23." Belichick gestured to Van Noy.

Belichick saw that maybe Mahomes would grow into a team leader in the future, but for now, Levi is the soul of the team.
Use Van Noy alone to keep a close eye on Levi, while other tactics remain unchanged.

Then, without pausing, Mahomes called the next kickoff.

Van Noy's pupils shrank, and he immediately saw Levi start like an arrow from a bow, without any hesitation, completely playing the role of a wide receiver and moving vertically along the slot.

Danger!

Van Noy immediately got into position and followed Levi closely.

Difficult! It’s really too difficult!
Levi, without the ball, instantly pushed his speed to the extreme. Although Van Noy was waiting in Levi's path and was ready, his steps were still caught up in Levi's rhythm.

Tap, tap.

Van Noy had already pushed his speed to the limit, but he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm and couldn't maintain his position. He watched Levi overtake him by force at high speed. He tried to catch up, but found that the rhythm of his steps was disrupted and he actually staggered.

Damn!

The two should have been moving forward at the same pace, but after just running out five yards, Van Noy was like a woman whose boyfriend no longer loves her and is ready to leave but she still clings to him, with half of her body hanging on Levi.

But what’s worse is that even so, the body still can’t hold on.

This scene caught the eyes of everyone, and the regional joint defense network quickly shrank.

Seeing that Van Noy was about to be shaken off, cornerback Jason McCottrie and safety Devin McCottrie both rushed over.

Three-sided sandwich.

Van Noy was delighted: Let's see where you can escape.

However, before the smile even appeared on his lips, the referee's whistle sounded.

foul?

No, the push is over.

Van Noy is full of questions. Is Levi a bait?
Looking back, Kelsey threw the football to the referee with a relaxed look on his face.

Levi was indeed the bait, drawing the attention of the entire right side, including cornerback McCarty, clearing space for Kelce.

Kelce carried the ball ten yards and went out of bounds to stop the clock.

Van Noy couldn't believe it and yelled at McCaw, "Stay in your position and mind your own business. I just defended it. Didn't you see it?"

Devin McCarty: "You blocked it, you say?"

Jason McCarty didn't want to cause trouble, so he grabbed his brother and took control of the situation.

In fact, the key point just now was that Mahomes did not choose to pass the ball, and Kelce still ran the ball, so McCarty made a misjudgment and his attention was diverted by Levi, so that the right sideline was completely cleared.

Kelsey not only advanced smoothly, but also easily went out of bounds to control the time.

Nine seconds.

This time, the Kansas City Chiefs' offense took only nine seconds to complete the advance.

Twenty-four seconds, forty-five yard line, first down and ten yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs were already close to midfield, without a single blow.

Belichick realized that things were getting tricky because this was within Mahomes' Hail Mary range.

Damn, I got fooled.

The New England Patriots' defense focused on passing the ball, which was the most traditional and conventional strategy in the fourth quarter. Instead, Reed showed his courage and used Levi to confuse the defense, completing two ground attacks and controlling the time. More importantly, the entire offense was smooth and orderly, and the New England Patriots' defense did not put any corresponding pressure on them. They easily helped the Kansas City Chiefs gain a foothold in the crisis and predicament, and the momentum was instantly ignited, and the situation was immediately different.

Momentum, this is the key word.

The Kansas City Chiefs took full advantage of their home field and kept the game going.

Belichick raised his head and looked around. The entire audience at Arrowhead Stadium stood up and sang loudly, firmly united. That powerful energy was forming a driving force and becoming a strong backing for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Things are a bit tricky.

Belichick retracted his gaze, fixed his eyes slightly, and made adjustments immediately.

There is no correct answer to change or not change, because he cannot predict Reed's strategy; but insisting on not changing is equivalent to handing the initiative to the opponent, so Belichick would rather take the initiative to change the formation -

Even if you lose, you should lose because you gave it your all.

At the critical moment, Belichick once again showed his dominance and toughness as a hero.

Then, the New England Patriots defense burst into energy again.

Stop!

"Belichick took action!"

"Without warning, the New England Patriots' defense took a bold risk. Belichick chose seven players to rush the pass, relying on the absolute numerical advantage to tear open the pocket, and tried to capture Mahomes with an absolutely tough and absolutely arrogant attitude."

"The Kansas Chiefs were completely suppressed."

"Although Mahomes hurriedly handed the football to Levi, Levi was surrounded by three people and tried his best to move around, but was still stopped."

“Falling at the line of scrimmage.”

"Levi was lucky not to lose any yards."

"The New England Patriots gave the Kansas City Chiefs a slap in the face, but it was worse—"

Tick, tick.

Time still passes.

Seventeen seconds, sixteen seconds...

In a hurry, Mahomes quickly arranged the lineup without time to arrange it. He directly threw the ball to stop the clock, pausing the game time by counting down to waste an offensive opportunity.

Fourteen seconds, forty-five yard line, third and ten yards.

The situation turned around in an instant.

The New England Patriots also showed their dominance at the critical moment.

Despite this, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team still has no time to regret. They must seize the time. Now the focus is not on third gear or fourth gear. Time is the only sharp sword hanging over their heads.

There was not even time to communicate. Levi just hurriedly exchanged glances with his teammates in the offensive team. The determination in his eyes once again livened up the atmosphere.

Then, form an array.

Mahomes had no time to get nervous and was completely focused.

"attack!"

At the command, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team started in full swing.

Van Noy immediately stepped on the ground and prepared to apply pressure for the second time in a row.

Belichick is right. No matter what the Kansas City Chiefs' tactics are, even if they challenge the Hail Mary, their focus should not be just the end zone. Mahomes is not Smith. Unless they put enough pressure on Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive explosiveness will always be a weapon.

I don't know when it will explode.

Pressure, this is the core.

The New England Patriots had just completed a crucial stop, this time it was a feint, a five-man rush, the emphasis was on pressure.

Van Noy started to move forward, preparing to charge head-on to scare Mahomes, but he caught a glimpse of a figure in his peripheral vision, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat:
Levi?

What is Levi going to do?
