Chapter 1074: Who to contend with
Stealing.
The second consecutive offense, the second consecutive interception, and the second consecutive quarterback pass error.
Under pressure, Watson made all the mistakes that a novice quarterback can make.
Fowler didn't even have to move, just watched the football fly toward him as if he were a Houston Texans wide receiver.
Fowler naturally had no chance of missing it and accepted it calmly.
And this is still not the end.
After Fowler completed the interception, he started on the spot and quickly launched a counterattack.
Light and nimble footsteps rushed towards the Houston Texans' offensive line at full speed.
However, the Houston Texans were completely confused and did not expect such an accident. Although Watson's 45-yard pass made Fowler's return more difficult, Fowler stood in a gap. , charging forward with all his strength without any hindrance.
Change direction. dodge. Change line.
Under the cover of the Kansas Chiefs defensive team, Fowler returned to the line of scrimmage unstoppably. At this time, the Houston Texans offensive team was like a piece of sand, leaving only a stunned Watson standing there.
Watson finally came to his senses and pounced on Fowler.
Seeing that they were about to meet, Fowler took a deep breath to boost his energy and jumped, flying over Watson's grappling action in a hurdle position.
Watson:? ? ? Is this... crotch humiliation?
Fowler had no time to pay attention to Watson's surprise. After landing, he staggered forward and continued to rush forward. At this time, the backcourt was completely cleared and unguarded.
Tap tap tap.
Fowler ran all the way and even had time to open his arms and feel the freedom and wantonness of the strong wind hunting. The vast crowd behind him could no longer catch up.
Driving straight in, one fatal blow——
Interception and return for a touchdown.
Ahhhh, ahhhh!
Arrowhead Stadium was boiling.
Watson held his head in despair and lay on the ground, as motionless as a corpse:
How did things develop to this point?
“Unbelievable! All this is unbelievable!”
"This was a disastrous ten minutes for the Houston Texans."
"First he lost his acumen on the defensive end, Reid took the initiative at the tactical game level, and Levi completely entangled Watt and broke The balance of confrontation, the collision between the best offensive player in the league and the best defensive player in the league, Levi proved himself that he is worthy of being the best player in the league now."
"Then. The offensive team sent two interceptions, and Watson's recklessness and impatience at the critical moment completely ruined his advantage. Now the game is completely under the control of the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Wow. ! The Kansas Chiefs once again withstood a severe test and proved their strength! "
On the edge of the court, Watt looked at the scoreboard, and a feeling of powerlessness gripped his heart.
"23:38".
Fifteen points, the difference between two ball possessions.
From a theoretical perspective, the Houston Texans still have an entire fourth quarter to reverse, overtake, and defeat their opponents, and the gap is not obvious.
However, that is just a theory.
From the second to the third quarter of the game, the Houston Texans went all out without reservation, burning all their energy to barely hold on to the situation, but in the blink of an eye they were overtaken and left behind by their opponents. , narrow the gap.
That taste was not only bitter, but also despairing.
So, is this the difference between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs?
Taking a deep breath, Watt looked across the crowd at Levi on the other side of the court.
Levi seemed to notice Watt's expression. Instead, he folded his hands on his chest, stared at Watt with burning eyes, and spoke word by word.
"No. It's over." Watt smiled: Yes, the game is not over.
They can choose to lose the game in a cowardly way, just like last season's wild card round. The entire league was optimistic about them, but they were swept out by the Indianapolis Colts, their rivals in the same district. It's even more ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that Luck, who defeated them easily, actually announced his retirement before the start of the new season, not giving them a chance for revenge.
They can also choose to fight to the end with their heads held high, a new atmosphere in the new season, prove their changes with practical actions, and write a completely different story. Even if they lose, they will leave Arrowhead Stadium with their heads held high.
Watt withdrew his gaze and shouted at the offensive players who returned to the dugout dejectedly, shouting at the top of his lungs while clapping and applauding.
“Fight back.”
"If we fight back, we can surrender like losers, or we can fight to the end like winners. This is not the end."
"This should not be the end."
"Put it away Move your damn butts!”
At the critical moment, Watt once again showed his attitude as a team leader.
The Kansas Chiefs intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown. After the special teams extra points were over, the Houston Texans still had the ball. If Watson could cheer up and lead the team to score, he wouldn't even need a touchdown. As long as they can score, there is still hope in the fourth quarter.
Watt needs Watson to cheer up and the offense to cheer up.
However...it's a pity.
This game is destined not to be a stage for the Houston Texans.
Watson thought he had matured and transformed, but the reality quickly burst his fantasy bubble. There is still a clear gap between him and a mature quarterback. The continuous blows in the third quarter of the game Let him lose his sense of proportion -
He is eager to prove himself, but the more eager he is, the more panicked he becomes. His defensive reading and tactical organization are... a mess.
Strike out.
When the Houston Texans offense came on the field again, it ended with a strikeout. Although Levi was not in the defensive lineup, his presence haunted Watson and made him completely lost. direction.
Watson looked around irritably and angrily, trying to find someone to express his anger to, but this time, he failed.
Then... there was no more.
In the fourth quarter of the game, when the Kansas Chiefs offensive team came on the field again, there was no Levi.
Reid knew that Levi was severely overdrafted. In order to protect Levi and avoid injuries, Reid chose to let Levi sit on the sidelines and let Damien assume the responsibility of the main running back.
Moreover, the Kansas Chiefs changed their strategy and no longer emphasized offensive scoring, focusing on controlling the situation and spending time. This made it difficult for Watt to break through the iron wall. In addition, Watt himself was also severely exhausted physically. In the fourth quarter of the game The intensity and rhythm showed a continuous downward trend, and the game became stalemate, with no one able to break the balance.
The fourth quarter of the game seemed dull and boring, chaotic and broken.
After experiencing the peak collision in the second and third quarters, the efficiency and intensity of the confrontation between the two teams dropped significantly, making it difficult to recreate the excitement.
However, Watt still refused to leave the field, refused to rest, and refused to give up.
This defensive superstar has been fighting energetically to the end. Even if his physical fitness cannot keep up, his willpower, mental strength and decisiveness are still high.
And instead of insisting aimlessly and blindly, Watt has been looking for opportunities and creating opportunities, trying to turn the situation around for the Houston Texans.
It is awe-inspiring and truly allows people to see the three-time league's best defensive player at his peak.
The so-called superstar halo is not given by others, but earned by oneself.
Unfortunately, Watt was unable to survive alone and was unable to create a miracle.
The game, amidst chaos and turmoil, came to an end calmly.
