Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 829 Turbulent Waves
Tottering and precarious, it's like dancing on a tightrope high in the air.

However, it was light, agile and elegant, easily taking the audience's breath away.

Until that red afterimage majestically crossed the 30-yard line, could no longer maintain balance, and fell to the ground, ending the performance.

Ah!
All over Arrowhead Stadium.

Ahhhhh!
All of Kansas City.

The whole place was boiling, and the roars and howls exploded like raging waves hitting the shore.

It's Levi again.

Who could have thought that in the third-down, seventh-yard trap, the Kansas City Chiefs actually chose a short screen pass and fake run tactics, handing the football to Levi again. Mahomes and Levi completed a tacit cooperation, destroying the momentum of the New England Patriots with a thunderous attitude, and took the initiative of victory into their hands in one go.

At this moment, Levi was the king, accepting the worship of his ministers!

However, Levi was not satisfied. His murderous eyes swept across the entire field. After a brief venting, he turned around and returned to the formation again.

The game isn't over yet.

Gun smoke filled the air.

The New England Patriots' defense felt a little frustrated and confused.

Even though they had just forced the opponent into the third gear with two efficient defensive plays, overall, their defense was completely suppressed in overtime and they were at a disadvantage from a tactical level. There was no matchup, no help defense, and many loopholes. They were simply like a sieve.

The Kansas City Chiefs were dominant throughout the game and had complete control of the game.

If this continues, the game may be over in the next thirty seconds.

Panting, sweating and exhausted, they looked to Belichick.

The legendary coach had no expression on his face. He remained calm and composed. He seemed to be completely unaware of the crisis and immediately began to command and deploy.

Just look at Levi's actions and you will know that the Kansas City Chiefs will not leave any breathing room. They will continue their form and aim for the end zone for a touchdown.

So, now there is no time to be confused.

The New England Patriots can't lose.

Belichick still remembers clearly that they had just advanced to the red zone, but Berry intercepted Brady and completely reversed the situation.

Further back, there was the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons, trailing by 25 points at their worst; and the Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks, who were preparing for a game-winning shot on the one-yard line in front of the end zone.

Did the New England Patriots ever get cowardly in these moments?
No.

The Kansas City Chiefs in front of them were simply a replica of the Seattle Seahawks that year. They were also the defending champions, also standing on the edge of the game, and also bursting out with incredible energy, relying on the offensive team to take the initiative and forcing the New England Patriots' defense to the brink of despair.

At that time, in the countdown stage, on the one-yard line, the Seattle Seahawks only needed a touchdown to reverse the game and become the second team to defend the Super Bowl since the millennium. However, the New England Patriots changed history with an interception and snatched the championship from the Seattle Seahawks.

It's that simple.

Therefore, facing the Kansas City Chiefs, Belichick was not panicked at all.

At the first moment, Belichick deployed his plan, his eyes like a hawk, closely scanning every move on the court, fully controlling the situation.

“Pressure!”

Belichick stood firm in his strategy.

It’s not paranoia, but a firm belief that constant pressure can overwhelm Mahomes.

Maybe it is impossible to crush Levi, the rookie has proved his strong and tough nerves time and time again; but Mahomes is still too young. In the regular season this season, Mahomes' interceptions have always been a problem. In the sixth week of the regular season, the New England Patriots turned the situation around by intercepting Mahomes.

Just once, like facing Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

So, continue to put pressure on the pass rush, and Belichick's words are particularly crisp.

"attack!"

The Kansas City Chiefs didn't waste time, quickly announcing the kickoff and getting into the game. Mahomes immediately felt the pressure, his fingertips just touched the rough grain of the football, and before he could even blink, the sound of the collision mixed with the rolling heat wave had already rushed towards him with fangs and claws, a roar.

Retreat, retreat, and keep retreating.

Mahomes stepped back repeatedly to open up space, but still had no time to observe and was immediately aware of the New England Patriots' six-man pass rush; and this time Belichick adjusted the pass rush strategy, relying on changes in positioning and rhythm to tear open the pocket protection from the front.

Right in front of us, coming towards us——

Hightower. Roberts.

Two people broke into the room like the insane writers in "The Shining", crawled out from the cracks, and waved their arms with ferocious faces.

Aggressive!

Mahomes subconsciously scans the short pass area for his target.

There's Damien, and there's Kelsey.

This time, the Kansas City Chiefs used a double running back tactic, with Levi and Damien on the field at the same time, and deployed a shotgun formation, using the double running backs as wide receivers from the beginning, trying to deceive Belichick with such a positioning.

On the surface, the tactic used a shotgun formation and double running backs to cover up a fake pass; but in fact it was a real shotgun pass tactic, with both running backs running out and five receiving points scattered all over the field.

However, in the game, Belichick remained unmoved and completely focused on himself, once again using pass rush pressure to tear open the pocket and successfully open up the situation.

At the same time, the second line of defense fully shrank and defended against each other——

A carrot and a pit.

Completely one-on-one, close defense.

This often means that Kelce can have the upper hand against the cornerback as a tight end, so Mahomes looks for Kelce first.

However, there were two players around Kelce to double-team him.

Mahomes was startled, but then realized, wait, who doesn't have a matchup?

It shouldn't be Levi or Hill, could it be Watkins?

In a flash, Mahomes' thoughts were surging, and he didn't have time to continue looking for Damien, because Kelce was trapped in a double-team, which meant that if he chose Kelce, his pass needed to be accurate, otherwise there would be a risk of an interception.

Mahomes didn't want to be intercepted at this critical moment.

But the point is that Hightower and Roberts don’t give Mahomes room to adjust.

Two ghosts knock on the door!

Two figures rushed towards him from the front, forcing Mahomes to retract his gaze and focus on what was in front of him. Facing the threat of being sacked, his whole body tensed up.

He dodged left and right, but found there was no way to escape.

While retreating continuously, Mahomes pretended to break through to the left, but he faked a shot and pulled back to the right. He made an emergency stop and change of direction to buy himself some precious time, and quickly pulled sideways to the right.

Roberts took a step forward, ready to tackle, but just happened to block Hightower's route, and the two men were about to stumble and roll into a ball.

Mahomes actually pulled back again, narrowly slipped under Roberts' arms, and moved sideways to the left again.

Roberts tried to keep up, moving to his right.

Hightower reacted a beat slower and continued to move to his left.

Bang!

Hightower and Roberts collided with each other.

opportunity!
