Chapter 1147 Full Bloom
"41:35".
The away team is in front and the home team is in back.
The Kansas City Chiefs struggled to come away with a win on the road, dealing a tough blow without Mahomes for the third straight week.
The game unexpectedly turned into a battle.
The Tennessee Titans offense has no ambitions or aggressiveness. Instead, it perfectly fits the requirements of Shanahan's offensive system and plays a beautiful offense.
Tannehill was outstanding.
16 of 19 passes, 181 yards, one touchdown pass, and no interceptions.
He does not have the obsession of "quarterback saves the world". Instead, he returns to the team lineup and becomes a member of the team. He completes his mission as a quarterback at the right time and on the right line, and revitalizes the offense through every thread. The data proves the value of blue collar work.
And Henry shines.
Carried the ball 23 times for 188 yards and two running touchdowns.
An average of 8.17 yards per rush, an incredible performance that shocked everyone. After three seasons of polishing and accumulation, Henry finally shined and became the league's top elite running back without a doubt.
Henry is enough to give everyone a headache just by virtue of his personal ability.
It is precisely because of this that the Tennessee Titans played a vigorous offense throughout the game and clung to the game with the cheers of the home fans——
Brown candy.
Like other teams that faced the Tennessee Titans, the Kansas Chiefs were unable to escape and were dragged into the Tennessee Titans' rhythm.
It can be seen at this time that Moore's upper limit as a quarterback is obvious. After two games, his three tricks were seen through by Vrabel. There were not many ways to get rid of the suppression and restraints in the game. He fell into the mud and the tight offensive and defensive confrontation. In a tight atmosphere, some of his defensive readings and tactical choices are open to question.
However, where the Kansas Chiefs offense has really grown this season is:
Teamwork.
Not only Mahomes and Levi, but also the tactical cooperation of Kelsey, Hill, Watkins and Hardman gradually developed tricks and layers. Even if Mahomes was replaced by Moore, the team's changes would decrease. But Moore was still able to use "cheating motion" to open up the situation and complete the advancement.
This is the first time for the Alliance to fully appreciate the ever-changing aspects of "Cheating Motion".
Dazzled and overwhelmed.
The reason why "Cheating Motion" is given such a prefix is because it is like a cheating device. Even if the Kansas Chiefs set up their formation early and expose their different combinations, even if the opposing defensive team realizes that the Kansas Chiefs have chosen such a tactic, they are still unable to defend against it:
Because the Kansas Chiefs players have many potential fits.
Just look at one piece of data and you will know——
Hill was targeted for passes nine times and advanced twice with the ball on the ground.
Kelsey was targeted for passes seven times and advanced with the ball on the ground three times.
Hardman, was the target of passes three times.
Watkins was the target of passes five times and once advanced with the ball on the ground.
Fully blooming and fully coordinated, the Kansas Chiefs refused to put their eggs in one basket and opened up the offense in a comprehensive way.
Including Levi is no exception.
Levi was the target of passes four times and advanced with the ball on the ground seventeen times.
However, relying on the dazzling and unprepared offensive layout, the Kansas Chiefs' offensive rhythm was involved in the Tennessee Titans' defense. They were unable to play explosively, but they always advanced slowly and firmly. In this way, the two sides remained in a stalemate until the fourth quarter of the game.
With two minutes and seven seconds left in the game, the Tennessee Titans relied on a free kick to overtake the score. "34:35", Vrabel made a bold decision——
Gambling kicks.
Because Vrabel knew that they needed to avoid the Kansas Chiefs offense as much as possible, the Tennessee Titans did not hesitate to take risks and gamble.
Unfortunately, it ended in failure.
The Kansas City Chiefs seized the ball and won an offensive opportunity at the 43-yard line near midfield. At this moment, Reid showed his courage.
After two consecutive fake runs, faced with a two-yard situation on third down, he unexpectedly chose to attack with tricks, like the tricks a magician hides in his sleeves.
The relay running between Levi and Hill staged a "cheating motion". The attention of the Tennessee Titans defensive team was led by the nose. They paid attention to Levi first and then to Hill. The entire defensive front layout was disrupted.
But in the flash of lightning, he realized that Moore did not choose to pass the ball, but chose to run with the ball himself——
Read option offense.
Using a read option offense with cheating motion is a tactic Mahomes occasionally uses when he is the quarterback. At this time, Moore is holding the ball. The Tennessee Titans defensive team is distracted by the judgment between defensive players and defensive players. There are obvious breaks in the reaction and startup.

The entire defensive layout was disrupted.
Moore took a stance and prepared to run with the ball to complete a two-yard conversion on third gear. However, the third turning point came.
When Moore stepped forward and approached the line of scrimmage, Levi retreated to cover, and the two men quietly completed the football handover. Moore stepped forward, playing the role of decoy, firmly controlling the scattered attention of the Tennessee Titans. On his own, Levi returns to the pocket, looking for a passing target.
From Levi to Hill to Moore and finally back to Levi, it seems dazzling, but in fact it is smooth and smooth. In just two seconds and three seconds, three changes in tactics have been completed; it seems to be full of crises, but in fact it is down to earth. The so-called risks have long been It has been eliminated due to skilled cooperation in practice matches.
Then, Levi won a clean pocket without encountering any impact, pressure, interference, and even had enough time to adjust and wait.
The Tennessee Titans, who made one wrong step after another, panicked and their first reaction was to look for Hardman and Kelsey. Judging from Levi's observation line of sight:
The two receiving players have created a gap. One is responsible for the deep zone and the other is responsible for the frontcourt. Levi has different options.
In the midst of a chaotic confrontation in the backcourt, Levi stood firm and made a passing posture towards his right hand——
Kick off the ground, step forward, turn, and wave your arms.
Next step, push.
But Levi braked suddenly before the last step and continued to turn calmly. The fifteen-degree turn evolved into a sixty-degree turn. His entire body deviated from the track, and finally faced to the left. Under the short cover of the fake movement, he completed the final swing of his arms. Passing action.
This is the fourth turning point.
Tennessee Titans defense: ...grass.
At this moment, the dizzy Tennessee Titans defensive team could not keep up with the rhythm. Even if they saw Levi pass the ball, they had no way of knowing the target of Levi's pass. In the dizziness of the world, they watched the football pass over their own. Above the head, a beautiful parabola is drawn.
Ten yards!
Fifteen yards!
Twenty yards!
Judging from the parabola, Levi was not greedy and did not take the risk of choosing a super long pass; this time the pass was still within Levi's control.
The twenty-five-yard pass flew lightly and accurately toward the left sideline.
A red figure rode on the breeze and appeared at the passing point. It was—
Hill.
Wait, Hill?
It's actually Hill? How could it be Hill? Wasn't Hill surrounded by Tennessee Titans defensive players because of "Cheating Motion"?
