Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 824 Shattered to pieces
"Hey, great job, keep going, keep going!"

Berry is cheering for the defense. He knows that at this moment, nothing else matters. What matters is to grit their teeth and persevere.

What they need is a belief, a fighting belief, a belief in persistence.

Berry always remembers Levi's words: they fought side by side, no matter where they were, they were all members of the Kansas City Chiefs team, they embraced victory together, faced failure together, and fought to the end together.

The situation is very difficult now, very, very difficult. They are facing Brady who is united and determined to win, as well as Edelman and Burkhead who are in super godly form. They have to do their best to get a chance of survival.

If possible, Berry also hopes to play and fight to the end with his teammates.

But he couldn't. It didn't matter, he still stood with Levi and the others, holding his head high and facing all the storms.

“You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

Berry took it to heart.

Then, there was a call in my ear.

"Eric, Eric! Get ready to go on stage!"

Berry was stunned and unable to react. He stared at Reed blankly.

Reed nodded in affirmation, and the heat in Barry's chest exploded instantly.

Taking a deep breath, Berry entered the court——

Just then, Houston was carried off the court on a stretcher.

Houston wasn't injured, just dehydrated and exhausted.

Houston tried to smile and clench his fist to cheer for the defensive players, but he couldn't even clench his fist and his face was pale.

Berry stepped forward and grabbed Houston's right hand.

"The game isn't over, man."

Houston nodded heavily, and then the stretcher carried him forward.

Houston tried his best to control himself, but ultimately failed. He covered his cheeks with his hands and burst into tears.

He was unwilling to accept this, really unwilling to accept this. He longed to fight with the team until the last minute, but it ended like this, which was not the ending he wanted.

Bailey straightened his back slightly, holding his head high and chest out.

At this time last year, he was eager to make his debut. He had worked hard for four months in the hope of being on the Super Bowl stage, but a new injury ruined all his efforts, so he could only stand by with a crutch and stare blankly.

until now.

Sixteen months, a full sixteen months, he stepped onto this playing field again.

This time, they are fighting for their last chance to advance to the Super Bowl.

Berry knew the reason why Reid chose him to play, not because his condition had met the requirements of the game intensity, but because Houston was forced to leave the field and the defense needed a leader to gather energy.

So, Berry replaced safety Murray and took on the responsibilities of captain.

This responsibility is of vital importance.

But Berry is ready, because behind him are Levi and his team, Arrowhead Stadium, and the residents of Kansas City.

They fight together.

Without words, Berry just patted the players on the shoulders one by one, exchanged glances, and awakened their energy with practical actions.

"Snap! Defense!"

Levi was high-fiving and shouting.

"Snap! Defense!"

Jenna and Felix were shouting in unison.

"Snap! Defense!"

The Old Oak Tavern was packed with people and everyone stood up. Even if they were not present at the event, they all joined in the cheering.

At this moment, watching Houston crying with tears streaming down her face, watching Berry holding his head high with a determined look, watching the offensive players standing shoulder to shoulder and cheering, Kansas City was completely united.

Fight until your bones are broken into pieces.

Chris Jones saw Levi in ​​the crowd and couldn't help but think:

What would Levi do at this time?
Jones looked away and stared at Brady with great concentration.

On third down and 12 yards, the New England Patriots once again faced a severe dilemma. Generally speaking, it is a matter of course to choose to pass the ball on third down and 12 yards; but considering Burkhead's condition and the fact that the New England Patriots can completely pursue a free kick, Belichick's tactical choice seems much freer.

So, what will Belichick choose?

Jones thought, pass the ball.

With Brady, Edelman and Gronkowski, the New England Patriots have no reason to choose to be conservative; what's more, they can indeed choose to take a free kick, but this is overtime. If they can choose to score a touchdown to win the game, why give the opponent's offense a chance?

At least, that's what Jones thought.

then.

"attack!"

Brady announced the kickoff and Jones stepped forward without hesitation.

It was visible at a glance that Brady and Burkhead tried to complete the handoff, but Jones didn’t hesitate, and the momentum of the raid was fully gathered.

Courage.

This is Jones' answer. If it were Levi, he would not hesitate. He would trust his intuition, then devote himself wholeheartedly and firmly grasp the initiative.

Now, Jones is ready to do the same -

Leading the way and unstoppable.

Burning regardless.

Jones instantly tore open the pocket and rushed into the pocket head-on with the posture of a tiger descending from a mountain. The New England Patriots' offensive line was like paper and shattered in an instant, and then, Brady was right in front of him.

The football is still in Brady's hands.

Jones didn't hesitate and stepped forward to attack head-on.

Brady retreated continuously, trying to shake off Jones in a hurry and find the direction of the pass again, but Jones's attack was too determined.

Danger.

At the critical moment, Brady's experience came into play. He swayed to the right and changed position. Before Jones was about to hit him, he caught a flash of white lightning in the corner of his eye. He flicked his wrist and swung his forearm.

Like cracking a whip.

The football flew through the air, drawing a moon-like arc.

boom!
Almost at the same time, Jones hugged Brady and rolled to the ground together.

However, the football had already flown out, and the target of the pass was——

Edelman.

Berry stood near the end zone, in the center area, with a full view of the field.

Although his competitive form remained mediocre and his temporary appearance was just a quick warm-up, his rich match experience helped Berry quickly gain a foothold.

He knew that he couldn't panic now because there was no room or space for panic in the game.

At the first moment, Berry was able to clearly see the New England Patriots' running route.

Burkhead is out. Gronkowski is out. Edelman is out.

The New England Patriots do have many offensive weapons and they are in excellent form; but Brady himself is in mediocre form, and even though he has improved across the board in overtime, he is still in trouble, and the pressure from the Kansas City Chiefs is always lingering.

It's the same thing in front of me.

Jones once again applied effective pressure.

In such a hurry, Brady had no time to make a second defensive read and passed the ball subconsciously, so the target selection was much easier.

Berry immediately locked onto Edelman.

Edelman is not a player who is good at physical confrontation, but he is good at route running and finding gaps. He played to his advantage to the fullest today.

The current situation is no exception.

Edelman quickly moved through the crowd and finally, about five yards in front of the end zone, he crossed the slot from the outside and cut into the center, finding a gap at the junction of the linebacker, cornerback and safety defense areas.

The size of a palm, with about three to five yards of space.

But for Edelman, that was enough.

In the chaos and crisis, Brady's pass staggered towards Edelman.
