Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1240 Come forward
Pressure is accumulating. The New England Patriots' defense is improving. The Kansas City Chiefs' steps become more and more difficult and heavy after crossing the half court. They are once again suppressed by the home defense.

Same as the first half.

Whether it is the New England Patriots or the Kansas City Chiefs, the offense of both teams has not been able to score a touchdown so far. Even if the offense had a flash of inspiration and pushed across half court in a wave of offense, they were immediately chased and blocked by the defense, and finally ended regrettably with a free kick.

So, until now, the score is still in single digits.

In front of me, it's still the same.

The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team was sniped again near the 33-yard line in the opposite half. The New England Patriots used an effective collision to disrupt the pass and a perfect man-to-man defense to limit the wide receiver's continued advancement after catching the ball, putting the Kansas City Chiefs in a third-down, third-yard situation.

Belichick's scheduling once again put the brakes on in the midst of crisis and difficulties.

The old fox is still an old fox, worthy of being at the top of the league.

The crisis once again gripped the heart. The New England Patriots only needed to stop one offense again, and Brady would be able to lead the offensive team to appear again.

More importantly, the Kansas City Chiefs, relying on the momentum built up by Levi's windmill rotation and Kelce's hard forcing into the position, are about to face a wake-up call -

Winning the daily moment but not being able to score a touchdown or even win the game.

This fits perfectly with Belichick's philosophy of the game, dirty and ugly but winning.

On the sidelines, Brady has already started warming up.

In the terrible weather in Foxburg tonight, even Brady, who is at home, needs to keep warming up to keep in shape, otherwise he may get lost in the freezing wind if he is not careful.

Obviously, Brady is ready.

However, on the field, the Kansas City Chiefs offense had no time to worry about this.

Focus, dedication, perseverance——

It's just third down and third down, and they still have a chance to change the situation of the game.

Levi was sweating profusely, his chest heaving violently.

Although he did not hold the ball many times, Levi was undoubtedly the core of this offense. He was like an engine, mobilizing the entire offensive group to operate at high speed.

Mahomes looked at Levi with concern. Levi's physical energy was severely depleted, especially facing such a fierce and high-intensity competition in such cold weather.

Mahomes turned his head and looked at the sidelines of the court. Coach Reid still didn't look nervous, and Coach Burns was still chewing gum and even chatting and laughing.

This calmed Mahomes down a bit.

Mahomes secretly clenched his fist and encouraged himself, "Rookie."

He called out.

Mahomes lacks some confidence. One reason is that his passing touch has been inconsistent since he returned from injury. The other reason is that the weather tonight has been interfering with his passing control. At the critical moment, he does not have enough confidence to stand up.

Under such circumstances, Mahomes' palms began to sweat and his voice trembled as he took over the heavy burden of the team's fate from Levi.

But looking at Levi's eyes, Mahomes still said it.

“…I want to give it a try.”

Levi, "Okay. You tell me what to do."

Mahomes was stunned. He didn't hesitate or question, and didn't even pause for a second. He had complete trust. He didn't have time to think because the time for arranging tactics was limited. He subconsciously said the tactical instructions that Reid had just conveyed -

And one's own understanding and extension.

Levi patted Mahomes on the shoulder and said, "Sherlock, just go for it."

do you remember?

We are a team, facing failure together, embracing victory together and meeting challenges together.

Without further ado, Levi turned around and lined up. Mahomes looked in the direction of Levi's figure and saw a sense of determination in his offensive teammates. A sense of heroism rose quietly.

No more words were needed, Mahomes' heartbeat had returned to normal.

Line up, shotgun formation.

Belichick showed some confusion in his eyes.

Third down and three yards, short yardage. In such bad windy and cold weather, the passing accuracy is not trustworthy. The Kansas City Chiefs should have chosen the ground. Fortunately, Levi is in good shape, and they are fully capable of continuing to advance.

Belichick was mentally prepared. On the third down and third down, Levi burned his little universe to complete the conversion and get the first attack, but the New England Patriots were not panicking. They would keep entangled and hold on to the red zone, and they were still able to intercept it.

Levi is not Superman. He is alone and his physical strength is seriously depleted. He cannot keep pushing the ball towards the end zone. Especially today, the ground of the stadium is stiff and slippery, making it difficult to gain leverage. It is a disaster for the running back.

Wait, was Levi so exhausted that the Kansas City Chiefs had to take the risk of passing the ball?
Belichick had an idea and glanced at Reid.

No, a smoke bomb.

Reed still believed in Levi, this should be a fake pass run tactic.

Once the New England Patriots' ground defense in the short pass area has a loophole, Levi may be able to complete a large-yard advance.

For three seasons, the entire league has been aware that Levi has the ability to overturn the entire situation with a single push. No matter what he says, his tactical execution is always extremely honest.

Belichick quickly issued instructions——

Keep calm and take it easy. The defense has a slight advantage now, and they can play a war of attrition, but the Kansas City Chiefs don't have that advantage.

In this offensive wave, the Kansas City Chiefs, who were eager for success, invested too much energy and effort, but due to the influence of the weather, they were unable to complete the explosive advance into the end zone in one go as in the past.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Now that the Kansas City Chiefs are approaching the third period, the balance of advantage is slowly tilting towards the New England Patriots.

Moreover, the Kansas City Chiefs did not choose the "Cheat Motion", Levi or Hill did not move in advance, and Belichick further confirmed that this shotgun formation was a smokescreen and they could not be fooled.

The New England Patriots defense immediately found its footing and Mahomes had already announced the kickoff.

"attack!"

Amid the overwhelming murderous aura, Mahomes' voice was swallowed up by Gillette Stadium in an instant, but the stadium was suddenly filled with turmoil.

Shotgun, fire.

Belichick's heart suddenly sank.

Left, Hill, Watkins.

Right, Hardman, Kelsey, Levi.

Five receiving points and five offensive weapons started at the same time, without hesitation, without delay or pause, and all started at Mahomes' command.

Push off the ground, start running, speed up, rush forward, accelerate.

The movements and postures are done in one go to seize the initiative.

All of them rushed forward in unison, releasing their speed along the vertical route, not caring at all whether the New England Patriots' defense was playing a one-on-one defense or a zone defense. All five players stuck to their own routes and sprinted vertically as planned.

The combined momentum of speed and power was like a shock wave, blasting out head-on.

Caught off guard, the New England Patriots' defense was disrupted and forced to retreat, and there was an obvious problem with their entire position.

The Kansas City Chiefs chose to take the initiative.
