“9:3.”

Although the Philadelphia Eagles scored the first touchdown, they missed the extra point and failed to further establish their advantage.
Instead, the situation subtly oscillated, and the Eagles, who should have been on a roll, fell into a brief whirl of wavering.
On the sidelines, Reed was planning the strategy—
Details.
The more crucial the game, the more pivotal the showdown, the more important the details become.
The Eagles’ offensive group had just made a tactical and executional breakthrough, breaking the deadlock and sweeping away a touchdown with the ferocity of a whirlwind.
It was easy to become overly excited in the rush of adrenaline.
So.
In the extra point attempt, the Eagles’ special duty group might have been somewhat rough around the edges.
After all, it was just an extra point, something practiced hundreds, even thousands of times without a deviation akin to taking something out of a bag.
When the players thought it was “taken for granted,” that’s when mistakes could happen.
The Kansas City Chiefs seized such an opportunity, intentionally focusing all their strength on their own right side and the opponent’s left side, applying full pressure with a psychological suggestion, causing Elliott to drift slightly to the right under the impact and pressure.
On the stage like the Super Bowl, even a slight deviation can be magnified.
Then, the mistake occurred.
Pederson lamented, but he did not blame the young Elliott.
It was all part of growing up and an inevitable path on the professional field.
Quietly, Pederson crossed the field, gazing at Reed, who was calmly deploying troops without excitement or celebration, and immediately immersed himself in the game.
Pederson felt the crisis immediately.
It might seem absurd, but although the Eagles were the first to score, the momentum had somehow shifted to the Chiefs’ side, and the Eagles appeared slightly agitated.
Pederson tried to control the situation, but this time, the Chiefs had the upper hand.
Reed had no intention of celebrating Elliott’s mistake.
He turned around and set up the formation, firmly capturing the team’s attention for the next offensive wave.
Indeed—
The Chiefs’ offense took the field again, showing extraordinary concentration.
Li Wei, still playing the role of a decoy, and for this, the Chiefs had actually devised several different tactical strategies, including but not limited to the double running back tactic, running back partnering with a tight end, and four wide receivers with a running back acting as a tight end.
The offense was complex and impressive.
They mixed passing and running, combining both skills.
The Chiefs still opted for a secure, steady approach, relying on a ground attack to face off against the Eagles’ defensive group head-on, and at critical moments, they let their imaginations fly with a surprise attack—
From Smith to Hill.
The Chiefs’ quarterback found their top wide receiver and completed a fifty-yard long pass, crossing the entire field and sending the football straight into the Red Zone, accurately stopping just ten yards short of the end zone.
Bang.
A heavy punch.
Always criticized for lacking explosiveness and long passes, the Chiefs gradually adjusted throughout the postseason and unleashed long pass plays more than once.
Against the New England Patriots in the divisional game, Smith’s “Hail Mary” pass startled the entire league, but now, Smith’s fifty-yard long pass connection was no longer a surprise.
That was progress.
In an instant, the pressure came crashing down on the Eagles like a landslide, but there was no time for regrets, no time to be upset.
They had to respond.
At the critical moment, the Eagles’ defensive group once again demonstrated their red zone strength.
Second down, four yards to go.
Smith had already cleared out the space, and when his short pass connection with Kelsey was unexpectedly disrupted, the Eagles’ fierce second-line defense directly took down Kelsey, who fell hard with the risk of an injury, he was taken off the field for a check-up under the insistence of the medical staff, suddenly tension filled the air—
Smoke filled the battlefield.
“Li Wei.”
“Li Wei carries the ball; this isn’t a smoke bomb, Li Wei rushing on the ground.”
“One cut.”
“Two cuts!”
“Head-on collision!”
“The Marseille Turn!”
“Beautiful!
In the midst of being sandwiched and confined by three players, Li Wei displays incredible footwork, dazzling, fluidly creating an opening.”
“Malcolm Jenkins!”
“Safety Jenkins fills the gap in time, immediately filling the void.”
“Li Wei!
Jenkins!”
“Jenkins!
Li Wei!”
“Tackle!”
“Jenkins tackled Li Wei accurately and firmly, evidently the safety took the lessons from the second week of the regular season to heart, maintaining high levels of concentration and successfully executing the tackle at the one-yard line in front of the end zone, preventing Li Wei from advancing.”
“Fourth and one…”
For a brief second, the air stood still, and nearly everyone thought that the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive drive had ultimately been stopped by the Philadelphia Eagles, but unexpectedly, the standoff was unbelievably dislodged; the stagnant air detonated instantly, and a mushroom cloud soared.”
“Oh, God!”
“Jesus Christ!”
“Li Wei, Li Wei is charging, Li Wei is breaking through, Li Wei is still not giving up!”
“It’s not over, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles’ players haven’t given up either, players are converging, this is a head-on collision of force with force.”
“Li Wei is breaking free, Jenkins is being overpowered, Li Wei isn’t planning to get bogged down in a trench war, Jenkins is giving it his all.”
“Yellow flag!”
“Jenkins commits a foul for holding.”
“Break away!”
“Even with the foul, Jenkins still couldn’t control Li Wei, unbelievable, unbelievable!
Break away!
Li Wei has successfully broken free from the tackle!”
“Turn around.
Shake off.
Break free.
Step forward.”
“End zone!”
“Touchdown!”
“Ah, ah ah ah, touchdown!”
Skin tingles, goosebumps scream out in unison over the entire body.
Agile, light.
Strong, powerful.
A perfect combination of hardness and softness.
In his very first meaningful touch of the game, Li Wei once again turned decay into magic, performed a miracle, and brought the Kansas City Chiefs a touchdown.
Crazy!
Absolutely crazy!
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he is the Edgerunner, Li Wei, Li Wei, Li Wei!”
That song, once again, echoed over the U.S.
Bank Stadium.
Li Wei turned to look at Jenkins, at the ranks of the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense, the fighting spirit in his eyes blazing intensely.
“Ah!”
One cry.
“Ah!”
Yet another.
It was like the roar of a lion.
The defensive greats of the Philadelphia Eagles, panting, looked at Li Wei with ashen faces, their gazes clashing head-on in the air—
Whether as a decoy or as a running back, Li Wei remained the thorniest, most unsolvable problem for the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive group.
Then.
Li Wei didn’t bother with those dejected losers anymore; he walked with his head held high to the side of the field and solemnly handed the football to the kicker, Buck.
Next, it was the turn of the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie kicker to showcase his skills.
From rookie to rookie, Buck trembled with excitement—it felt like an electric current ran from the sole of his feet to his scalp, the football he held felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
But Buck withstand the pressure.
He kicked it through in one go.
The extra point, steadily and precisely hit, even though the Philadelphia Eagles’ Special Duty Group played tricks, with players hurdling over the line to confront him, pouncing like tigers to disrupt the balance, seemingly about to crash into or even tackle Buck with an absolutely dominant posture, but Buck still showed his determination, one hundred percent focus.
“9:10”.
Kansas City Chiefs, take the lead.
In that moment, Buck was the hero.
What do you think?
