Chapter 1034 Tooth for Tooth
With great force and roar, Jackson sent a rainbow arc across the thirty-five yards of court space and fell towards the end zone.
Rookie wide receiver Marquez made a sharp turn, made a sudden stop, and feinted away from cornerback Breland, who only joined this offseason, and rushed straight to the end zone.
Running wildly all the way, the speed is fully released, like an arrow leaving the string.
However, while running, I suddenly discovered that the falling trajectory of the passing parabola was irregular, and I had to brake and adjust my full sprint pace.
Before the center of gravity could be pulled back, a red figure had already risen into the air and intercepted Marquez's field of vision one step ahead.
Marquez was only half a beat slower. At this time, there was no trace of the football, only the back of No. 32.
Damn it.
Safety guard Mathieu has been in the league for six full seasons.
Although his performance has declined significantly in the past two seasons due to age and injuries. Last season, the Arizona Cardinals asked him to restructure his contract and take a salary cut. Last season, the Houston Texans also believed that he was not worth the price; but game experience is always a valuable asset. wealth.
Get a head start and get stuck in position.
Don't be impatient, wait until the football starts to fall, and then find the right position to take off.
Easily pick off the football in mid-air——
Copy.
No difficulties were encountered.
"Copy!"
"Matthew intercepts Jackson!"
"The Kansas Chiefs defense rewrote the game! Mathieu, Mathieu is trying to attack back!"
“Beautiful!”
"Marquez Brown reacted promptly in the second time, started a tackle on the spot, and completed the impact before Mathieu took a step, stopping the team's bleeding in time and not making the injury worse."
"However, the ball possession was still converted!"
"Wow, Jackson's long pass attempt was obviously too ambitious. He forced a long pass when the passing vision was not clear. Mathieu relied on his rich game experience to judge the placement of the pass in advance and beat the rookie receiver. Marquez Brown took a step and intercepted the pass."
"This season, since the beginning of the preseason, the Kansas Chiefs defense has been trying to play such an oppressive and controlling game. Today, it finally broke out in the face of Jackson's unstoppable momentum, with a crisp interception. Kill Jackson’s momentum.”
"Jackson is still a little impatient in this offense."
"Now, the initiative has quietly come to the hands of the defending champion. The Kansas Chiefs have the opportunity to overtake the score and suppress the opponent's momentum."
Huchi, wheeze.
Jackson stood there, using all his strength to barely control himself——
Calm down, stay calm.
However.
Damn it!
After all, Jackson still couldn't control himself. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. This was definitely not the situation he expected to see. A ball of anger burned in his chest and crackled throughout his body.
He was angry with himself.
What he was able to complete this time was a touchdown as long as the connection was connected, but the slightest difference led to a bad ending.
Jackson returned to the sideline angrily, his face as white as the bottom of a pot, and he looked like he might open his mouth to eat someone at any time. Before he lost control, he grabbed a towel and covered his head.
He needs silence.
Hubble noticed this scene with an expressionless face - he did not condemn Jackson's youthful arrogance, but he also did not comfort Jackson's frustration and embarrassment. Young people need to experience such setbacks to grow, otherwise others told him that they would never be able to grow up. They belong to others and will not turn into lessons for yourself.
Last year, Mahomes threw an interception that led to the Kansas City Chiefs losing to the New England Patriots, and that was a truly profound lesson.
At the moment, the Baltimore Ravens haven't lost yet, and it's only the first quarter of the game. Jackson still has enough time to feel annoyed and angry.
As for Hubble, he needs to concentrate on dealing with the next wave of offenses by the Kansas Chiefs. They need to minimize the damage of interceptions.
Opportunity, not too bad——
Thanks to Marquez's timely reaction, he tackled Mathieu at the five-yard line in front of the end zone, and the Kansas Chiefs had to start their offense at the front of the end zone after the interception.
The starting position of this attack was even worse than the first wave of attack.
This also means that as long as the Baltimore Ravens defensive team can keep up with the rhythm, maybe Hubble can stop the loss in time, quickly launch a counterattack on the spot, and regain the opportunity.
Who knows, maybe the end result after the Kansas Chiefs interception is a safety score for the Baltimore Ravens?
Immediately, Hubble mobilized his troops——
Hubble refused to make the same offensive and defensive mistakes just now. There are three key points:
Keep an eye on Levi; keep an eye on Levi; and... keep an eye on Levi.
Obviously, they have clearly realized Levi's motivation and determination in this game. As soon as the game started, they were on full fire and they needed to go all out.
However, Hubble is calculating, and so is Reed.
Ten yards on first gear, quick short pass.
Mahomes' unexpected two-yard short pass found rookie wide receiver Hardman. Relying on Kelce's pick to open the way, Hardman ran through the crowd for three yards.
Five yards on second gear, short screen pass.
Levi and Kelsey ran towards the sideline at the same time, but the parabola angle was slightly larger and the other was slightly smaller, like two stamens protruding from a bouquet of flowers, and finally rushed out in parallel.
Levi is further away from the line of scrimmage, Kelsey is closer to the line of scrimmage, and Mahomes is passing the ball in their direction, but he has two options. The Baltimore Ravens' short pass zone defense is paying attention to one and the other.
Kelsey caught the ball and not only easily completed the second-down conversion, but also continued to gain five yards.
In the blink of an eye, the Kansas City Chiefs were out of the danger zone at the front of the end zone and above the twenty-yard line.
Continuous tactical short passing coordination, like the dazzling passing tactics of the Baltimore Ravens, the secrets of the Kansas Chiefs' passing tactics this season have not been fully displayed. Although it is still the first quarter of the game, Reid noticed the momentum and situation. Subtle, speed up immediately.
Ten yards in first gear, fake run and real pass.
The three receivers Hill, Watkins, and Hardman ran across each other and cooperated perfectly. Finally, Mahomes and Watkins connected, relying on the cover of the two receiver teammates, and Watkins was on the sideline. He created a gap in the area, staggered the defense, easily caught the ball, turned around and scored the first attack and then went out of bounds.
Three passes, three goals.
Three successes, two first strikes.
Unstoppable.
In an understatement, the Kansas Chiefs eliminated the Baltimore Ravens' tactical intention of quickly counterattacking in place to offset the interception loss.
The defending champion showed off the firepower of his passing attack. Mahomes seemed even more calm and unhurried, delivering offensive ammunition accurately while strolling around. Although not as dazzling as Jackson, he perfectly integrated with the team. The entire offensive progress was extremely easy, without any Give your opponent a chance.
Moreover, the rhythm was maintained at a high frequency, and during the continuous advancement, Mahomes did not stop to adjust, immediately lined up, and was ready to attack again.
The point is not to give the Baltimore Ravens defense breathing room.
Hubble prepared to counterattack on the spot, but did not expect that their urgency would become a lever for their opponents and turn into an opportunity to pursue victory.
The situation is vaguely not good.
