Chapter 351: Ending the suspense
“22:27”.
Assuming that Levi's touchdown is legal and scores six points, then the Kansas Chiefs can go ahead by five points, but there is still the possibility of a comeback in the game.
If you choose one extra point, the score difference will be six points; if you choose two extra points, the score difference will be seven points; if the extra point fails, the score difference will remain five points.
In other words, no matter how the Kansas Chiefs try, the score is still a situation that can be overturned with just one possession.
Although Mariota's "Hail Mary" needs to be marked with a big question mark, the safest way is to deny the Tennessee Titans offensive team another appearance and directly end the game in the hands of the Kansas Chiefs offensive team. Challenge for two extra points. A natural choice.
Seven seconds.
There are still seven seconds left before the end of the game.
"...After reviewing the video, the original verdict is upheld, Kansas Chiefs, touchdown, No. 23..."
boom!
After suppressing and suppressing, waiting and waiting, and feeling anxious and anxious all the way, Arrowhead Stadium finally got the good news that they cheered for.
but.
The Kansas Chiefs had no time to celebrate. The offensive team remained on the field. Smith signaled to the referee that they would attempt a two-point extra point.
Afterward, Smith called on his teammates to gather in a circle for discussion.
Smith raised his eyes and glanced at Levi subconsciously.
Levi was sweating profusely, and the steaming heat wave lingered in the helmet, but his eyes were still bright, and there was no trace of fatigue at all.
Smith hesitated and said, "How are you, rookie? Do you still have some physical strength?"
"If you cope with it for seven seconds, you can barely hold on, but for eight seconds..." Levi spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.
"Ha ha."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere quietly dissolved.
Smith also twitched his lips, but his smile did not rise after all, "The rookie is right, seven seconds, we just need to hold on for another seven seconds."
"Hey guys, the end is just around the corner."
After speaking, Smith stretched out his right hand, then raised his head and looked at Levi.
Levi's smile fully bloomed, "Remember? Fight until the end."
Levi's right hand also overlapped on the back of Smith's hand, followed by Kelsey, Hill, and so on. The eleven hands of the offensive team were all stacked together.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The Kansas City Chiefs offense lines up and they're ready -
In fact, the Kansas Chiefs didn't even need to complete the two-point conversion, they just needed to consume all seven seconds.
Therefore, the focus is not on offense, but on ball possession.
If the Kansas Chiefs drop the ball at this time, just like Henry just did, it will give the Tennessee Titans another chance to survive. This is a real nightmare.
Reed, chose to hand the football to Levi.
The running back is most suitable for the task of protecting the ball.
Reid naturally did not ignore Levi's severe consumption. He was also a little worried. He briefly considered whether Hunter should come on to protect the ball. The point is that the Tennessee Titans also knew that the Kansas City Chiefs would inevitably hand the football to the running back. The running back It was the target of public criticism and the pressure was unimaginable.
Thoughts flashed in a hurry, and Reed decided to believe Levi——
From the beginning, Reid chose Levi, wasn't it because of his big heart shown in big scenes?
Dignified, glued, and thick.
The Tennessee Titans also realized that there was little hope. At this moment, their defensive team burst out with the momentum of dying together. They were prepared to die together regardless of the situation and suppressed the Kansas Chiefs. The tight air in the area where the two forwards faced off was almost stagnant, and they were gasping for breath. Don't get angry.
Until——
"attack!"
Smith's kick-off chant broke through the chaos and exploded. The next second, the two waves of air collided head-on, creating a stormy sea.
Not surprisingly, Smith turned around and handed the football to Levi.
In an instant, the storm surged.
The Tennessee Titans' defensive front burst out with amazing energy in an instant. Olacapo, Williamson, and even Byrd all stepped forward and came out in full force.
Anyway, they have nothing to lose, the only thing they need to do is to go all out and make no reservations.
Although the Kansas Chiefs offensive team was ready for a head-on confrontation, they were still suppressed by the murderous intent of the Tennessee Titans.
The pocket is torn. Oracapo noticed Levi at a glance——
Lock the target.
Go forward indomitably and be unstoppable.
There is only one thought in Olakapo's mind now. Even if he loses the game, he will give the rookie a lesson in a head-on collision to vent his hatred.
But wait, is there something wrong with this scene in front of me?
Levi is standing in the pocket, but he is not preparing to break through with the ball as usual; nor is he retreating with the ball, deliberately going around to waste time, but is reading the defense and adjusting his steps.
Just like...a quarterback.
What's going on?
Levi? Quarterback?
ha?
Olacapo felt that his brain was a little weak, and he was completely caught off guard. Then he saw Levi raise his right hand to pass the ball.
What? What!
The Tennessee Titans defensive team made a desperate effort to press forward. Not only Olacapo was alone, but two others had also torn their pockets and rushed in.
what does that mean?
The short passing area is empty.
Olakapo seemed to be able to see Levi's smiling face under the helmet: Haha, you have all been fooled.
Damn it. Hell, hell, hell!
Olacabo made an emergency stop, stopped and turned sharply, and the second reaction was very fast. Humiliation and anger surged up. He refused to let Levi succeed, and immediately turned towards the stuck position behind him to prepare for the response. Kelsey rushed over.
Although Olakapo didn't know when Levi would learn to pass, he didn't care because the pass connection would not be successful this time.
"Huh? This..."
"Levi? Pass the ball?"
"The Kansas City Chiefs chose a trick-play! God!"
"Levi's looking for a pass target, Kelsey?"
"No, Olakapo has quickly followed up and blocked Kelsey's position."
"but!"
"Oh wow wow wow wow!"
"Is this a fake pass? Or is it a read option? I, I don't know, because Levi didn't give up the pass, and he finally chose to run the ball himself."
"God!"
"Levi played the entire Tennessee Titans defense!"
"Oh! God!"
Kick the ground. Step up.
Levi sprinted straight along the slot without hesitation, and watched as Olakapo turned around to stare at Kelsey, and a gap opened slightly in the channel directly in front of him.
Not big, but enough.
Pass the ball?
Ha, you’ve been fooled, it’s actually still running the ball.
Levi lowered his center of gravity and forced his way forward in the bustling crowd. He soon hit a wall, but he still kept pushing hard on the ground.
step.
One more step!
Ah, ah ah!
Power, fully released.
With a "crash", it suddenly became clear that the human wall that had been tightly blocked in front collapsed like this, and a huge red wave filled the sky and the ground.
Levi pulled along the gravity and held the football firmly in his arms, and there was a roar above his eardrums.
"The two-point conversion was successful!"
"The Kansas Chiefs' offensive strategy once again stunned the Tennessee Titans, easily completing the two-point conversion and consuming all the game time."
"The game is over, the whole game is over!"
"Dear viewers, the first wild card game of the American League in the 2017 NFL playoffs has ended."
"The winner is the Kansas City Chief!"
