Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 596: 595 third graders Chapter 596: 595 third graders Step, step, step.

Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs Defensive End continuously adjusted his balance before starting, much like revving the throttle of a motorcycle.

Perhaps others couldn’t tell, but Jones had his own battles—

The Chiefs were a young team, with the main roster mostly sophomores and juniors.

Li Wei had quietly emerged as the next leader of the team, with everyone including Houston and Berry affirming this.

On and off the field, he constantly set an example that transformed the team’s image.

The young players grew robust following in Li Wei’s footsteps.

Just look at the junior cornerback Fowler, who joined during the off-season.

Constantly watching Li Wei’s back, giving his all, and finally in the first game of the new season, he had his spotlight moment.

He was a junior.

There was no more time to waste.

It was time to demonstrate his abilities, not just his potential, otherwise he might, like Fowler, face the risk of transfers early and start a career wandering between different teams in the League.

He didn’t want that.

So, Jones had his own fight.

He longed to follow in Li Wei’s footsteps, without hurry or desperation, just one step at a time; but at least, he needed to move forward.

Even if it was just one step.

“Attack!”

Roethlisberger started the play.

Heh.

Jones took a deep breath, his gaze locked firmly on Roethlisberger’s movements, his concentration at a hundred percent.

The moment he heard the starting command, it was like the starting gun in a sprint race; his feet ready, his power burst forth, and the reaction force propelled his body forward like a rocket.

Bang, bang, bang.

A string of collisions, like fireworks bursting forth.

“The pocket’s broken!”

“The Kansas City Chiefs choose a blitz, with just five men penetrating they tore through the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pocket protection.”

“The football is…in Conner’s hands.”

“This is a ground attack, Conner is shifting his route, the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line tries to clear a path, but!”@@novelbin@@

“Jones!

The Kansas City Chiefs’ junior defensive end cuts into the pocket!”

“Tackle!”

“Beautiful, precise, clean, tough!

Jones tackles Conner to the ground directly, leaving no chance for Conner who appears nervous.

He tries to escape, but his muscles are too stiff to make a move…”

“Oh, fumble!”

“Conner fumbles!”

“Jones with a tough and aggressive tackle causes the fumble.

Conner clearly loses control, Jones is trying to take possession of the ball, Conner is also trying to reclaim it.”

Fumble!

Felix suddenly stood up, seemingly oblivious to the pain in his legs, his fists clenched tightly as he focused intently on the field.

Karen noticed, she tried to caution Felix to take care of his body, but seeing the light that shone on Felix’s face, so bright and so joyful, finally feeling the surge of vitality once more.

This was her Felix, vibrant and hopeful.

Karen took a deep breath, and turned her gaze to the field as well, feeling her heart pounding in her chest, her blood almost igniting.

“Ball possession!”

Felix shouted.

“Ours, this is ours!”

On the field, everything changed in an instant, so fast there wasn’t even time to catch a breath, and amidst the chaos, the outcome had already emerged.

“Fifty-nine!”

“From the corner, number fifty-nine linebacker Regland of the Kansas City Chiefs burst forth, successfully taking control of the ball, completing a turnover for the Chiefs.”

“Unexpected!

One hundred percent unexpected!

Who could have seen that coming?”

“The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to change the game on the ground, but the Chiefs played braver and more decisively, continuing to press aggressively with their blitz tactics.”

“Defensive end Jones made a tackle causing a fumble, linebacker Regland covered the ball.

The two juniors together completed this turnover and delivered a direct blow to the Steelers, continuing to apply pressure.”

“Since the third quarter, all the key figures helping the Kansas City Chiefs turn the tide of the game were sophomores and juniors, these young players withstood the test and quickly stabilized their footing to counterattack, the defending champions once again flaunting their prowess.”

In the turmoil and upset, Jones felt the world spin around, unable to gauge his position, his vision a blur of red and black shadows as he frantically searched for the football, finally spotting a red figure clutching the football, quickly standing up.

Ah, ah, ah!

Screaming, roaring, a passionate outburst.

It was Regland.

Because the Kansas City Chiefs Defense finally found their rhythm, and because as a junior, he finally felt his presence in the game for the first time.

Jones could understand, wholeheartedly.

After releasing his emotions, Regland grabbed Jones by the right hand, pulling him up and giving his shoulder a bump in a celebratory manner—

This turnover, they had completed together.

But Jones didn’t voice his own passion, because he wasn’t satisfied with just this.

He knew the game wasn’t over yet, facing the Steelers without Bell, their defense still had room for improvement, far from satisfactory.

Just like this latest defensive play, the Steelers once again changed their strategy, combining pass and run plays, and although Brown still played the role of a decoy, the Steelers’ ground game excelled, creating space for Conner, as they kept passing and running, crossing the midfield line again.

Luckily, the Chiefs’ blitz was successful in containing their rivals; but this didn’t mean the Steelers’ offense had come to a halt, Roethlisberger was ready to strike back, and Brown was restless.

Jones was not satisfied, he could and would not just sit back.

The fighting spirit in his eyes was still burning.

But now, they had to give the field to their offense, Jones quickly spotted Li Wei in the crowd, next it was up to them—

Clearly, the contest was set to escalate even further.

The cornered Steelers, with no way out, the Defensive group would definitely go all in, facing off against the Chiefs Offense once more.

Indeed, that was exactly what happened.

On the sidelines, Tomlin and Reed were strategizing.

On the field, the Kansas City Chiefs Offense and the Pittsburgh Steelers Defense were engaged in a fierce direct confrontation, the intensity of the battle escalating continuously.

On the one hand, the Steelers utilized diverse strategies in both running and passing to break open the game.

Even if trick plays couldn’t be used frequently, the Steelers Defense had to make tactical adjustments, which allowed the Chiefs to find gaps and reopen the offensive play.

On the other hand, both teams were repositioning and making tactical adjustments on the fly.

The tactics were dazzling, the rhythm thrown into chaos, each offensive and defensive maneuver fraught with variables, compounded by decreasing physical stamina, leading to deviations during intense clashes, making the situation even more gridlocked.

As expected, the most tense and closely contested moment of the entire game officially arrived.

This offensive wave, the Kansas City Chiefs faced an incredible amount of pressure, even more than in the second quarter; but the difference was they had regained their confidence and composure, although shaking and unstable, they were still making progress—

Time, just like physical energy, continued to deplete, the Chiefs moved forward as if trudging through a swamp, struggling to push past midfield into the Steelers’ territory once again.

Then.

Unexpectedly, the defensive intensity of the Steelers exploded once again, attempting to regain the rhythm, shocking the entire Arrowhead Stadium into a cold sweat.
