Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 413: Intensity Upgrade 412 Chapter 413: Intensity Upgrade 412 “Wow!”

“As expected from the Kansas City Chiefs, the top ground attack team of the season, facing third-and-three, they didn’t evade but rather broke through head-on.”

“Hunter actually chose the middle route!”

“Relying on the offensive line to pave the way, Hunter forcefully carved out three yards through the middle, with an absolutely strong and resolute attitude, breaking through the Jacksonville Jaguars’ ground defense.

This time, the home team’s swarm tactics did not succeed.”

“The reason lies in Marrone’s indecision.”

“Marrone couldn’t decide whether the Kansas City Chiefs would choose to run or pass—third-and-three, neither long nor short, the Kansas City Chiefs had many options.

Marrone had to be prepared for everything, which affected the execution of the tactics.”

“From this detail we can see that the Jacksonville Jaguars indeed felt immense pressure, as the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense was opening up the game step by step.”

“Now, both teams are bringing their strongest performance, colliding without yielding an inch, it’s about who can grit their teeth and hold on until the end.”

First-and-ten, the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line finally showed their power, creating an effective hit that caused Smith’s pass to be inaccurate and miss its connection.

Second-and-ten, Smith’s screen pass, after Kelsey receives the ball, he goes one-on-one with Ramsey.

The two are completely entangled; Kelsey barely advances six yards.

Third-and-four, the Kansas City Chiefs feint a pass but actually run, the decoy tactic disrupting the opponents’ formation; Hunter carries the ball forward but encounters two linebackers joining hands to tackle him.

Just as he seems about to fall to the ground, Hunter clenches his teeth and stubbornly shuffles forward, barely scraping together a four-yard advance—

However, the distance isn’t discernible to the naked eye.

The referees even brought out measuring tools, took measurements of the advance on-site, and ultimately confirmed that Hunter had fallen just at the line of the third-down conversion.

Amidst the protesting boos at Perpetual Bank Center, the Kansas City Chiefs got the first down again.

Difficult, sticky, thrilling.

The intensity of the game rose to a new high, but the Kansas City Chiefs advanced against the flow, coming up to the edge of the end zone within 20 yards, closing in step by step.

Immediately after.

Linebacker Telvin Smith astutely saw through the Kansas City Chiefs’ fake run and true pass tactic, leading the charge into the pocket; the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line’s attention was entirely on Defensive End Campbell and Defensive Tackle Jackson’s attempt to break through, so much so that the other Defensive End Naku easily sliced into the pocket and together with Telvin, they completed a pincer attack from both sides.

Smith tried to dodge Telvin’s hit, but couldn’t escape Naku’s grasp, getting sacked and tumbling to the ground.

A loss of five yards.

“Roar!”

Naku let out a roar, bumping chests with Campbell and Jackson to celebrate—

“Sackville” finally showed its power.

When the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line applies pressure, dazzling tactical cooperation can indeed create an advantage effortlessly, which has been proven on different teams throughout the season.

In the slightly disadvantageous predicament, the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive front still stood up, one effective hit plus one sack, squarely sending the Kansas City Chiefs’ rising momentum crashing back.

“The weakness of Hunter is that his blockade is still somewhat raw.”

“This time, Hunter couldn’t stop Telvin Smith’s advance, leading to his quarterback getting sacked; of course, even if Hunter had stopped the blockade, it wouldn’t necessarily have changed the situation, as the Jaguars’ rush and pass performance is truly outstanding, but Hunter needs to stay alert.”

“Hunter is utterly focused on the offense, trying to prove his value through advancing yards; but the charm of Football lies in the fact that every position and every aspect can demonstrate value.”

“Oh, Reed has sent Li Wei on.”

“It seems the Kansas City Chiefs realize that the closer they get to the end zone, the more intense the defense becomes, and they need a player who can intimidate the opponent.”

“When Li Wei stands on the field, even if only as a decoy, he always plays to his fullest potential, and nobody can ignore his presence.”

“Coming up, second-and-fifteen, let’s see how the Kansas City Chiefs choose their tactics.”

Passing?

Or running?

What role will Li Wei play?

Even the Perpetual Bank Center fans are all focusing on Li Wei, not to mention the players facing him directly on the field, right?

The answer was—

Running play.

Defensive End Campbell’s heart leapt with joy, running play, it was indeed a running play.

His first reaction was to head mindlessly around the outside, not caring about the player he was matched against, pressing his weight onto the opponent’s right shoulder and using the opponent as a pole to circle clockwise.

Such a simple action, but it carried a high degree of technical difficulty, Campbell utterly dominated his opponent, cutting into the pocket before one could even blink.

In the midst of chaos and blur, Campbell was momentarily dazed:

Wait, where was Li Wei?

Wasn’t Li Wei breaking to the outside?

Why couldn’t he be seen?

Indeed, after receiving the football from Smith, Li Wei instantly took two lateral steps to the right, but then he realized the opposing side had anticipated his advance.

The defensive intensity didn’t diminish, instead, it increased.

Not just Campbell, one could also see linebacker Telvin and cornerback Ramsey stepping up simultaneously; it was clear from a glance that the Jacksonville Jaguars were defending against Li Wei with the highest level of attention.

If the Kansas City Chiefs had opted for a play-action pass, they would now be at an advantage; but crucially, this was indeed a running play.

What to do?

Between forcing his way through and outsmarting, Li Wei chose the latter.

After all, this was different from just a moment ago; this time the opposition came prepared.

He paused his stride, braked with his right leg, then pushed his body back into the pocket.

For that brief second, Li Wei stood straight, scanning and observing; if there was a target for a pass, he wouldn’t mind astonishing everyone—

Tomlinson’s training template did include a passing option.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t one.

Because it had never been practiced, Kelsey and Hill were busy blocking or drawing attention, none had anticipated that Li Wei might pass the ball.

Regretful.

But Li Wei didn’t hesitate; after a quick scan, he was already on the move.

The middle lane.

Moving to the left now would be too late and might lead into another encirclement, but the middle was different.

The forces in the middle had dispersed to the sides, and before they could return, there was a brief window of opportunity.

Pushing off the ground, stepping forward, charging straight ahead.

Past Smith, Li Wei dove into the meat grinder where the two offensive lines entangled.

However, it wasn’t completely airtight; there was a gap in the middle.

Li Wei turned sideways, on tiptoes, stepping lightly across the densest area of the crowd, and then saw Defensive Tackle Jackson be the first to react.

Turning, moving, intercepting.

Just as Jackson was about to grab Li Wei, Li Wei dodged back like a butterfly, barely avoiding Jackson’s right hand, moving sideways on tiptoes like a crab, leaving behind Jackson’s fierce and stunned face.

However.

Before he could catch his breath—

Bang!

Linebacker Bosrusni had accurately wrapped up Li Wei.

So, did this ground advance end just like that?
