Chapter 1040 Storm
Oh!
The entire Arrowhead Stadium let out a burst of exclamations, their hearts stopped beating briefly, their scalps went numb for a while, they held their heads and looked at the scene in disbelief——
Falled the ball!
Surprisingly, the ball dropped!
Since the second half, the Baltimore Ravens' aggressive counterattack has not ended, because Hubble knows that they have no retreat. The gap in the first half is really too big, and they have no time to slowly plan.
Must start with the SWAT team.
Similarly, the Kansas Chiefs also sensed a strong impact from their opponents. Reid sent the rookie wide receiver Hardman to come on as a returner to start a confrontation during the special teams stage, trying to gain more initiative for himself.
This time, the Baltimore Ravens were even better, with a wonderful kickoff tactic. The kicker deliberately kicked the football high and deep, and the drop point control was extremely precise, about ten yards from the front of the end zone. .
The location is slightly awkward.
If Hardman doesn't catch the ball, the football may roll into the end zone and automatically win kickoff position at the twenty-five-yard line, but it may also end up in the edge of the end zone.
If Hardman catches the ball, the return position is too deep and the football stays in the air for a long time, giving the Baltimore Ravens special teams enough time to close in.
This is an excellent kickoff. A difficult problem is thrown to the Kansas Chiefs special team. No matter how the returner chooses, he will face a severe test.
Hardman chose to catch the ball and launched a counterattack, but was double-teamed by the Baltimore Ravens and was tackled to the end. The football broke free from Hardman's arms——
Flopped ball !
crisis!
The whole audience was stunned.
If the Baltimore Ravens control the ball at this time, then Mahomes and Levi can only stay on the sidelines obediently and witness Jackson's appearance again. After the Baltimore Ravens complete the transfer of ball rights, Seize the opportunity to continue chasing points and shorten the gap.
This is football, one chance can completely overturn the situation.
Moreover, Hubble is indeed showing Belichick's style, starting with the special teams team, relying on details to reverse passivity and apply pressure in all directions.
The entire Arrowhead Stadium was briefly stunned and choked with breathlessness.
At the critical moment, Hardman burst out with incredible energy, launched a counterattack on the spot, and took the lead in controlling the football before his opponent could get involved——
Whew!
The whole audience exclaimed, exhaled a long breath, and their hearts returned to their chests.
Although Hardman dropped the ball, his secondary reaction was timely enough to complete his redemption, control the ball in time, and stop the situation.
The ball still belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hubble shook his head in annoyance, almost, almost, almost successful.
However, Hubble reacted immediately and kept high-fiving the special team and affirming their performance by shouting. This is the spirit and temperament the Baltimore Ravens need.
"The pressure is climbing to new heights."
"Although the Baltimore Ravens failed to complete the ball transition this time, Harbaugh's team once again succeeded in making the Kansas City Chiefs break into a cold sweat."< br>
"The second half was even more severe and tight than the opening of the first half. The Baltimore Ravens put pressure on all sides, one wave after another, and the continuous pressure was destroying the balance of the game."
"Sure enough, the Baltimore Ravens have proven their competitiveness with practical actions. Even if they are lagging behind in the game, they still have the ability to turn the game around. , you know what this reminds me of?"
"The Kansas Chiefs in the 2017 season"
"The team has strength and fighting spirit, maybe it is not mature enough overall, but it is in trouble. The explosive power displayed is enough to scare any team."
"The situation is very difficult, very difficult."
"Hardman controlled the ball and the Kansas City Chiefs offense got a chance; but the offensive starting position seven yards in front of the end zone was particularly tricky."
"The Baltimore Ravens special teams team's amazing kickoff gave them a chance The defensive team created the biggest advantage, even if they didn’t get the ball, they already had the advantage.”
“The next thing to see is how the Kansas Chiefs respond.”
Hardman was a little shocked——
Although he controlled the ball at the last moment and avoided a complete game Disaster; but Hardman will not forget that the beginning of this disaster is himself.
Originally, he still dreamed of being like Levi when he faced the New England Patriots in the 2017 season opener, shocking the league with his kickoff return touchdown technique, turning out to be bathed in the applause of the audience. The result?
Almost lost the ball, even if not, it still put the team in trouble.
Hardman was not happy at all, just immersed in annoyance.
Facing him, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Hardman looked up suddenly.
What caught his eye was Levi's face, with a slight smile.
"Kid, you don't think the Baltimore Ravens are that vulnerable, do you?"
Haha.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and without saying anything more, Levi raised his head, raised his chest, and with light steps, greeted the offensive team to come on stage.
Hardman stood there, lost in thought:
When can he be as calm and calm as Levi, who seems to have the answer to any difficulty or storm?
"Hardman!"
Kelsey turned around and said hello, Hardman finally reacted and quickly entered the court in a series of small steps, returning to his role as a wide receiver.
He understands the truth; but the thoughts in his mind are chaotic and he will not be able to calm down for a while.
Unexpectedly, Levi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pay attention."
Hardman stood up quickly and looked at Levi respectfully.
Levi, "Come, let's watch us perform a magic trick for the Crow children."
Hardman looked at the light in Levi's eyes and couldn't help but straighten his back.
Both sides lined up again.
It can be seen at a glance that the momentum of the Baltimore Ravens defensive team is high. The continuous collisions since the second half have always been pressing the Kansas Chiefs. Although the score is only close to a touchdown, the entire game is indeed changing. Lean toward the Baltimore Ravens.
Now, the defensive team is ready -
No matter whether it is Levi or Mahomes on the opposite side, they will all see the gods and destroy the obstacles in front of them in one go.
That soaring momentum completely suppressed the Kansas Chief.
Since today's game, the Kansas Chiefs offensive team has been performing well. Even if the starting position of the offense is unfavorable, they can always find a solution and even seize invisible gaps to overturn the situation.
So what are the Kansas Chiefs going to do this time? Pass or run the ball?
The Baltimore Ravens don't care.
Hubble refused to continue to be led by the nose. He was ready to turn the tables and focus on himself. The defensive team took the lead in attacking——
Putting pressure. Pass rush. Raid.
In the first wave of defense in the second half, the Baltimore Ravens relied on high-intensity frontline pressure to cause damage, and finally disrupted the Kansas Chiefs' calculations.
Now, Hubble is ready to continue.
The winds and rain continued to heat up.
Before forming the formation, the defensive fronts and linebackers had quietly moved forward, the cornerbacks and safety guards also all moved forward, and the entire defensive front tightened.
How are you, are you scared?
Next, will the Baltimore Ravens plan to rush the pass with four or six? Center, blind side, or something else? What about pressure tactics?
Mahomes, don't worry, they will be gentler this time.
