Chapter 1113 Move forward
Glued——
This is the key word.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, they need to score, but not too quickly.
Because they need to control the game time. If the score is too fast and Rodgers appears again, the control of the game time will fall into the hands of the Green Bay Packers, and they will become passive; but if their offense is too tight and cautious, one link will go wrong. , resulting in a failure to score, which is not worth the loss, which is equivalent to giving up the initiative to win to Rogers.
Control, indeed control is needed, but the point is still to keep pushing forward.
For the Green Bay Packers, it's simple, they need to stop their opponents.
When to control or overtake the score, none of them need to consider. They need to make every effort to do it. Preventing the Kansas Chiefs from scoring is a top priority. Even if Rogers does not have time to come on the court, as long as they can stop the opponent, the game can be dragged into overtime.
It is precisely because of this that the Green Bay Packers put down their burdens and went all out.
From time to time, advantages are superimposed and converted, and the situation changes subtly——
"The desperate Green Bay Packers defense VS the constrained Kansas Chiefs offense."
In a delicate situation, the Green Bay Packers defense burst out with incredible energy and was quietly changing the game.
The rhythm of the Kansas Chiefs' offense was disrupted.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Moore is feeling pressure again.
Why has Moore been in the league for so many years, but has never been able to become a qualified starting quarterback, not even as good as "bearded" Ryan Fitzpatrick (Ryan-Fitzpatrick)?
The point is, Moore can't withstand the pressure.
Playing your own style of play and winning the game when things are going smoothly is not ability. Every professional player can perform brilliantly when he is at his peak.
In the face of pressure, in confrontation, and in difficult situations, how to adjust oneself, how to form a confrontation, how to reverse the situation, and how to maintain a competitive state are the real problems in the professional arena.
Apparently, Moore never stood the test.
In daily training, Moore can play with great momentum; but in actual competitions, Moore will soon reveal his true colors.
In front of you, that's it.
Just like the opening, just like the ending, when the pressure increased, Moore's hands and feet became confused and his mind went blank.
Objectively speaking, let alone Moore, Mahomes also had sweaty palms in front of the TV. This situation is a challenge for any quarterback.
Now, Mahomes finally understands:
Why are coaches prone to heart disease and high blood pressure?
When the players stand on the court by themselves, firstly, they have no time to think, they must focus on the game; secondly, even if they are nervous or tired, they can still change the result of the game through their own efforts.
The coaches stood on the edge of the court, unable to do anything except worry. They were thinking about this and that, but in the end they were unable to change the situation of the game with their own hands. They could only let their hearts beat wildly.
In front of me, Mahomes is the same——
"Matt, calm down. Stay focused."
“Come on one gear at a time, come on, focus on what’s in front of you!”
That's all Mahomes can do now, as the entire waiting area in the hospital holds its breath.
Stumbling and stumbling, the Kansas Chiefs withstood two third-down tests and finally advanced to the Green Bay Packers' 35-yard line, only to once again encounter a powerful impact from the Green Bay Packers' defensive team——
< br>
Ten yards from the first gear, Moore passed the ball inaccurately and failed to connect successfully.
At ten yards in the second gear, Moore's parabolic pass was insufficiently controlled. Although Kelsey completed the ball, he was unable to continue advancing and was double-teamed to the end.
On third down and six yards, the Green Bay Packers saw through the Kansas Chiefs' fake pass-and-run tactic. They double-teamed three people to intercept, and tackled Levi behind the strong line to complete the interception.
Strike out.
The worst thing happened after all.
Throughout the second half, the back-and-forth, bayonet-sharp collision always maintained a strong rhythm. However, near the end of the game, the balance was unexpectedly broken, ending with the Kansas Chiefs striking out. At this time, there was still one minute and forty-seven seconds before the end of the game.
So, what to do?
In the "35:35" tie situation, the Kansas Chiefs have two choices:
First, risk a 52-yard free kick.
Second, forcefully challenge the fourth gear and eight yards.
Of course, there is also the most conservative and safest option, punting.
However, in the current situation, punting is meaningless, it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to the opponent like a turtle -
And it’s Aaron Rodgers.
Obviously, this is something Reid doesn't want to see.
So, challenge for a free kick, or force fourth gear?
Reid took a deep breath, the situation was difficult, but he did not hesitate:
Force fourth gear.

Indeed, they can take risks and try a free kick, but even if the 52-yard free kick is scored, it doesn't mean much, because Rogers still has 100 seconds to try a Hail Mary. Once successful, the Green Bay Packers will kill the game.
If you choose to force the fourth gear, even if it fails, the next situation will be the same. Facing Rogers' offensive appearance again, the Green Bay Packers are ready to rely on free kicks or touchdowns to win the game.
In other words, the worst situation of forcing a fourth gear and the best situation of trying a free kick are almost the same, and the entire situation has not fundamentally changed.
Reid did not hesitate to choose to force the fourth gear. They needed to make a desperate move. Even if they failed, they would still need to consume game time and create difficulties for the Green Bay Packers' next offense.
People often have prejudices. Two-time defending champions like the Kansas City Chiefs need to stick to their goals and win, so they will naturally become conservative and no longer have the "bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes" momentum like the past two seasons. From the coach The mentality of the players will change.
However, this is not the case with the Kansas Chiefs this season. Whether it is the overthrow and reconstruction of the defensive team or the innovation of the offensive team, they have always made positive changes and continued to grow. This courage is really impressive.
At this moment, it's the same.
When Reid chose to force a fourth gear, the cheers ignited. It spread from Arrowhead Stadium to all of Kansas City.
"Fly!"
"Fly!"
However, the Kansas Chiefs offensive team had no time to breathe. With just forty seconds of offensive preparation time, they had to quickly complete their tactical layout.
Thousands of eyes fell on Moore.
Moore felt his mouth go dry for a while, and he knew how bad his performance in this wave of offense was.
But what's worse is that even if he realizes it and tries to change, he still can't do anything.
Now, what to do?
As soon as he looked up, Moore saw the smile on the corner of Levi's mouth——
Yes, smile.
No nervousness, no anxiety, no timidity, no fear, but a bright smile.
"Ready."
Not even chicken soup for the soul or cheers, just one word and then they were ready to line up.
Moore turned around and formed a formation with deep and shallow steps. Standing in the pocket, his mouth felt dry for a while, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat.
"Attack!"
