Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 481: 480 escape from death Chapter 481: 480 escape from death Deadlock.

Complete deadlock, strained to the utmost.

The give and take, tit for tat, the air continuously heating up, and the enclosed U.S.

Bank Stadium is swarming with rolling heat waves, as if the peak of summer had arrived.

The whole field, drenched in sweat, was on the verge of suffocation.

Then.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs exchanged leads once again.

First, the Philadelphia Eagles unexpectedly regained momentum on the ground, but in the end, it was Foles’ pass connecting with Ertz for a touchdown that took back the lead.

Then the Kansas City Chiefs executed a series of short passes, from Kelsey to Hill to Hunter, flourishing at multiple points, and finally, unexpectedly chose the Five Wide Receivers Formation.

Amid the dizzying routes of the wide receivers, Smith found Li Wei unguarded, completing a seven-yard pass for a touchdown.

From “30:31” deadlock to “37:38”.

The deadlock continued.

Since the beginning of the game, there had not been a single punt, with each offense able to enter the field goal range every time; the second half went even further, both the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, with every offense able to bring back a touchdown, thoroughly entangling the scores in a relentless chase.

If the collaboration between Foles and Clement of the Philadelphia Eagles displayed MVP-level performance, then on the Kansas City Chiefs’ side, Smith and Li Wei also offered MVP-level performances, neither side giving an inch and continuously elevating their states, the scent of blood clearly spreading through the air.

Bit by bit, with the progress of the game, the tension and pressure kept escalating, the U.S.

Bank Stadium felt like a stifled pressure cooker, where any slight disturbance could set everything off.

Now, any slight deviation or mistake by either side could be costly, unbearable.

Should any team fail to score or reach the end zone, the balance would be broken, the suspense of victory might suddenly widen the gap, and then, there would be no opportunity for a turnaround.

Every opportunity, extraordinarily precious.

This scene was absolutely unforeseen before the match, just like the entire surprising 2017 season, the Super Bowl battle of dark horses also brought surprises—

It became the most thrilling, tense, and exhilarating Super Bowl in the history of the millennium, perfectly embodying the essence of the Summit of the Forbidden.

Then.

The Kansas City Chiefs Defense lined up.

“Pass incomplete!”

“God, the Kansas City Chiefs just made the most important, most critical defense of the game, intercepting Foles’ fourth pass to Ahora.”

“Wow!”

“Before this, Foles had targeted Ahora with three consecutive passes, all of which Ahora had completed and continued to advance, but this time the cornerback Revis from the Kansas City Chiefs finally stepped up, telling Foles and Ahora that no one could complete four consecutive receptions in his territory.”

“There is no doubt, Revis’s peak zone coverage has degraded a lot, not showing much till now in this game, but at the crucial moment, Revis finally showed decisiveness and courage, making a clean defense that cut off the smooth connection between Foles and Ahora.”

“Fourth and one.”

“The Philadelphia Eagles face fourth down at their own forty-five-yard line, unable to try for the field goal, and we might witness the first punt of the game; also, this is the second fourth down of the game, the last one occurring at the end of the first half’s final offense, when the Eagles opted to play boldly on fourth down and executed the ‘Philly Special’…”

“Wait.”

“God, wait, Pederson is choosing to play boldly on fourth down again.”

“Unbelievable!”

“Incomprehensible!”

“The final offense of the first half, Pederson’s decision to play boldly on fourth down could be understood; but now, the situation is completely different.

Clearly, Pederson is prepared to gamble everything since both sides are on a hot streak offensively, and the Philadelphia Eagles’ Defense doesn’t have confidence in stopping the Kansas City Chiefs, so they must continue on the offense.”

“This fourth and one, the Philadelphia Eagles refuse to punt, they must convert successfully.”

“This courage, this audacity.”

The whole stadium, stunned.

It must be said, Pederson really showed a completely different temperament from regular season week two, demonstrating crisis management capability that reminded people of his days with the Kansas City Chiefs, and that’s precisely why the Philadelphia Eagles poached Pederson to serve as their head coach.

However, for the Kansas City Chiefs Defense, it was a test.

In the final moments of the first half, they had already made a defensive stop, yet it became the shining moment for the ‘Philly Special’; now, they had made another stop, but the relentless Philadelphia Eagles forced them to make one more defensive stand, and it seemed their performance was always just a bit lacking.

Rage, quietly burning.

The entire field held its breath, including all the players of the Kansas Chiefs Offense.

The outcome—

“Danger.”

“The Kansas Chiefs rush with five men, pressure, Kansas Chiefs apply incredible pressure.”

“The pocket collapsed.”

“Foles!”

“God, Foles!”

“Foles dodged Defensive End Jones’s hit, and Foles escaped Houston’s sack as well!”

“Incredible!”

“Johnson, linebacker Johnson is also cutting into the pocket, but Foles hasn’t given up yet.”

“Foles is still moving.”

“Foles is still looking.”

“Johnson!

Foles!”

“Pass!”

“Just as Johnson and Houston were about to succeed in their joint sack, Foles threw the ball.”

“The pass target is—”

“Ertz!

Revis is blocking!”

“Ertz, wow, Ertz overpowers Revis to make the catch.”

“A two-yard short pass, conversion of four downs to one yard completed, unbelievably, Philadelphia Eagles survived by the skin of their teeth again, converting all two four-down conversions successfully during the entire game.”

“Foles, Nick Foles, as if divinely aided, stands on the brink and shows unmatched composure and audacity, without a doubt an elite performance.”

“Now, there’s only one question, who exactly is Nick Foles?”

Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles successfully converted a fourth-and-one, and once again, Foles crafted a miracle.

The U.S.

Bank Stadium roared, unitedly shouting at the top of their lungs.

“Philly Special!”

“Philly Special!”

This moment fiercely demoralized the Kansas Chiefs, while the Philadelphia Eagles once again ignited the residual energy of their spirit, instantly upping their momentum.

Passing and running again, the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense revitalized, pushing forward continuously, and, in one breath, stormed into the end zone—

Foles’s eleven-yard pass found Tight End Ertz, securing a touchdown.

“But—”

“Wait, this touchdown needs to be reviewed by officials.”

“Revis truly went all out, clenching his teeth and blocking Ertz’s position and continuing to interfere after Ertz caught the ball.

The veteran was utterly furious, causing the football to pop out of Ertz’s embrace before he hit the ground, failing to maintain full control of the ball possession.”

“Now, the referees need to review.”

Ertz was furious, not managing to control the football, and an actual fumble happened— if this touchdown were to be called off…

But he believed Revis committed a foul.

Revis was panting, sweating profusely; he felt like a stray dog sprinting under the sun, burning both energy and soul just to barely grasp a sliver of life.

At this moment, facing the provoking Ertz approaching, Revis was not going to take it lying down.

He threw out trash talk in a low voice effortlessly infuriating Ertz, who clenched his fists and charged forward, Revis didn’t fear at all, clashing head-on with his helmet, it looked like both were about to start brawling.

The gunpowder was ready to ignite.@@novelbin@@
