Chapter 1110 Hope of the whole village
Before the game, the powerful collision of "Rogers VS Mahomes" was undoubtedly the focus, and the entire league was filled with joy from top to bottom.
However, Mahomes' unexpected injury disrupted the plan and was disappointing.
Now, the tit-for-tat confrontation of "Rogers VS Levi" has become a new attraction.
Although this is not a quarterback duel, no one can forget the main line of the season where Levi continuously challenged the top quarterbacks last season, and the running backs rose in an all-round way——
Now, it's Rogers' turn.
On social networks, there is a hustle and bustle.
Not only Green Bay Packers fans, but also fans, neutral fans and bored trolls all shouted the same name.
"Rogers!"
"Rogers!"
The hope of the whole village, Aaron Rodgers!
From all aspects, the only one in the league who can suppress Levi's arrogance is Rogers.
Young and energetic, talented and talented, with all the conditions.
Moreover, in the game at hand, although the Kansas Chiefs hit a climax in the second quarter and turned the situation around, don't forget that the two sides are still tied, and there are many possibilities for victory or defeat.
As long as the Green Bay Packers can play a good offense, as long as the Green Bay Packers can continue to score, as long as the Green Bay Packers can lead the score again——
Then, the Green Bay Packers can get back on their feet.
At that time, the game may enter a script of offensive battle, just like last year's half-time Super Bowl, in the end it will depend on which team can score continuously.
In the middle of the Super Bowl last season, the combination of McVay and Goff defeated the Kansas Chiefs, and it was a complete version of Mahomes and Levi.
Now, the powerful combination of LaFleur and Rodgers is fully capable of defeating a low-profile version of the Kansas Chiefs paired with Moore and Levi.
The initiative is in Rogers' hands.
then.
Overwhelmingly and vigorously, the entire league's eyes were focused on Rogers, even insiders of the league were no exception.
Hubble. McVeigh. Shanahan. Payton. Peterson. Belichick.
Blah blah blah.
The Houston Texans have left Lucas Oil Stadium for the airport, but in the team bus, the radio is still broadcasting the Sunday Night Game.
Originally, after the game, they need to rest and often fall asleep; this is especially true after a terrible loss.
Tonight, however, they are all focused on the Sunday Night Game.
There was silence and concentration.
Obviously, the value of this Sunday night game has far exceeded the significance of the rematch of the first Super Bowl, and has instead become a benchmark for this season.
Really, everyone is watching.
All this is not unfamiliar to Rogers -
This happens again.
Not only is it not unfamiliar, but I’m used to it, it’s always like this anyway.
Rogers didn't show any panic at all, he was already prepared in his heart.
However, the problem is exactly here:
Rogers' routine. What's the meaning?
In the past three seasons, McCarthy's offensive tactics have been rigid and solid. When encountering problems, he always looks to Rogers to solve them. Although Rogers can solve most of them, the team's fault tolerance rate is very small. A little mistake or deviation can cause serious problems. It may ruin the team's hard work and efforts throughout the season.
It is precisely because of this that the Green Bay Packers made drastic reforms and invited the young and energetic LaFleur to serve as the team's head coach.
From the day he joined, Lafleur realized his mission:
Build a new tactical system around Rogers, but take the burden off Rogers' shoulders to gain breathing space and increase the team's ceiling.
This is also the key reason why the Green Bay Packers have started with seven consecutive victories this season.
Now, the Green Bay Packers have gone back, from the LaFleur era back to the McCarthy era. McCarthy's shadow still hangs over the team, and the memories that have not completely disappeared quickly occupy the brain.
In stalemate situations, Rogers habitually returns to familiar routines:
On the one hand, there is a lack of coordination with fake moves and cross-covering of running routes; on the other hand, kick-off The previous rhythm slowed down. Rogers needed to read the defense and adjust tactics, but he lost the rhythm control of Lafleur's tactical system, giving the defensive team room to breathe and adjust.
In the end, it all depends on Rogers' personal ability to mediate.
Rogers was eager to reverse the predicament, and the Green Bay Packers habitually relied on Rogers. In their eagerness, they returned to their accustomed routine.
When the Green Bay Packers offensive team came on stage again, the entire offense seemed full of momentum. Under the leadership of Rogers, they played vigorously.
The elite quarterback ability is there, but Rogers is still a problem for the defensive team.
Seeing the Green Bay Packers offensive team regaining momentum, the game looked good again; but just after halftime, they were in trouble again.
This season, the Kansas Chiefs' frontline pass rush and pressure performance has been significantly improved; at the same time, the all-round improvement of the defensive second line has created a synergistic effect.
When the Green Bay Packers insisted on LaFleur's tactics, the Kansas Chiefs needed to anticipate, adjust, and adapt to changes; but when the Green Bay Packers returned to the McCarthy system, the defensive tactics became purposeful——
Not simple, but clear and clear to ensure concentration.
After halftime, the Kansas Chiefs' defensive coverage shrank significantly. The front line put enough pressure on Rogers, and the second-line zone defense blocked the position. When the pressure reached a threshold, the effect came out.
Strikeout.
Moreover, all three passes were incomplete.
Although Rodgers was moving around in the pocket, trying to find the target of the pass; once the pass was slightly deflected, once he encountered a defensive three-man attack after receiving the ball and lost the ball, and once he was in a sack crisis. Forced to take the initiative to pass the ball out of bounds.
The whole person looked particularly embarrassed.
Out of breath, exhausted, after a lot of hard work, there was still no success, no touchdown, and even no free kick area.
Rogers stood there with his hands on his waist, he had an ominous premonition——
Perhaps, the Kansas Chiefs offense is ready to pursue the victory.
In the past, when Mahomes was on the court, people were always wary of Mahomes’ explosive power, so the Kansas Chiefs were often able to quickly widen the gap after reversing the situation; but now Mahomes is not At the scene, Rogers felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
So, what is the reason for this?
"Levi! Levi ahhhhh!"
"Wonderful, a wonderful ground push! The continuous push after getting rid of the tackle, the Green Bay Packers defensive team Missed the tackle again!”
"Third and eight yards, Levi once again helped the Kansas Chiefs complete a crucial third-down conversion to win the first attack. The Kansas Chiefs continued to advance!"
...
"Touch! "
"Fake run and real pass! The Green Bay Packers defensive team's attention is all on Levi, but this time Moore's pass target is Hill!"
"Hope! I drove straight in and completed a 23-yard touchdown pass, a fatal hit!"
"The Kansas Chiefs took the lead! The defending champion actually reversed the passive situation in the first half!"
