Chapter 412: Pursue the victory
The Jacksonville Jaguars finally chose to pass the ball on third down and 12 yards.
However.
Throughout the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars only completed 21 passing touchdowns, ranking 22nd in the league; but sent 13 interceptions, tied for eighth in the league
Obviously, Bortles Not the superhero who leads the offense to turn the tide.
Just before the playoffs were about to begin, ESPN wrote a professional article, "Which quarterbacks in the league are still available and can replace Boltes". There is no doubt that they do not recognize Bolts. They believe that if the Jacksonville Jaguars want to go further in the playoffs, replacing Bortles is a top priority.
But that’s not the point; the point is, Ramsey, like the article.
And, it was on the news, and the entire league knew about it.
This time, too.
Bortles stepped back continuously without any fake moves or reading the defense, exposing his passing target and offensive tactics early:
Allen Hurns is the only wide receiver on a playoff team this season to have more than 60 yards receiving in two games.
Perhaps the only surprise was that the Jacksonville Jaguars did not choose to pass the ball short, but instead took a bold risk and challenged the fifteen-yard mid-pass without warning, ready to hit the mark in one step.
Unfortunately, there is no secret to Revis.
Following suit, Revis firmly locked onto Hearns from the start.
Although due to age and injuries, his physical condition and competitive status are not as good as before; but on the playoff stage, Revis has a second spring, and seems to have regained his vitality in front of Ramsey.
"Island King" refers to Revis' control and dominance in his coverage area.
From beginning to end, Revis relied on his experience to completely stay in position. After Bortes passed the ball, he beat Hearns to take off first.
The entire position, timing, and suppression were all perfect.
Then--
Copy.
Revis grabbed the football over Hearns' head and intercepted it.
Take a leisurely stroll, relax and enjoy yourself.
In the last wild card game, Revis initially showed his excellent competitive form. In this conference final, he took a step further and regained control of the cornerback.
If Hearns hadn't seen that the situation was not good, he tackled Revis and died together, falling to the ground on the spot; Revis might have launched a counterattack after the sack.
Strikeout!
"...the balance is broken."
"The momentum now comes to the Kansas Chiefs side. This is also the biggest transformation of the Kansas Chiefs this season, the explosive power at critical moments."
"Obviously, the Jacksonville Jaguars special team completed a perfect punt, pushing the Kansas Chiefs into a desperate situation; but the Kansas Chiefs reversed the situation in the desperate situation, seizing the opponent's aggressive and eager to win mentality to find a gap, and immediately launched the sneak attack after the success Pressure.”
"A 103-yard touchdown run and an interception and a strikeout actually lasted less than three minutes, but now the Jacksonville Jaguars are a little dizzy and can't keep up with the rhythm."
At a glance, Romo could see the crux of the matter. Although people have always emphasized that competitive sports are constantly changing, at this moment when he really saw the turbulent situation of the game with his own eyes, he couldn't help but blurt out his surprise.
Nantz agrees.
"Everything stems from Levi's ground push that turned decay into magic. When we praise the transformation and growth of the Kansas City Chiefs this season, there is no doubt that Levi plays the role of the core chemical reaction."
"Now, the balance of this AFC Finals is tipped."
"but."
"The outstanding thing about the Jacksonville Jaguars is their stability. Whether it's the offensive team's ground advancement or the defensive team's intensity and temperament, this is the key to them gaining a foothold in the fierce competition in the playoffs."
"Next, the Kansas Chiefs will definitely pursue the victory, while the Jacksonville Jaguars need to rely on the defensive team to quickly gain a foothold." "The outcome of the entire game may depend on the next period of time."
"Oh, the Kansas City Chiefs sent in Hunter, the No. 2 running back, and they didn't know if this was an opportunity for the Jacksonville Jaguars."
As Nantz said, Hunter came on--
Levi, need to take a breather.
From the Chiefs' running ball touchdown to the Jaguars' strikeout, everything happened so fast that Levi didn't even have time to take a drink of water before the Chiefs offense was ready to take the field again.
Levi had no problem, he was completely focused on the game, and immediately grabbed his helmet and prepared to go on the court; but Reid was unwilling.
It is very important to seize the opportunity in front of us and pursue the victory to further destroy the opponent; but Reid has not forgotten the overall consideration. This is the second quarter of the game, and there is still the second half to consider, and we cannot just look at the present.
Moreover, in front of him, the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive team is holding its breath and preparing for a strong counterattack. The intensity of the next offense and defense will inevitably increase to a higher level. Reid hopes to use the strong Hunter to attack head-on.
Using troops requires wisdom.
So, Hunter came on the scene.
Throughout the season, Hunter has always been high-spirited, staring intently at Levi, eagerly, and would never miss the opportunity easily——
A starting spot is his goal.
Therefore, Hunter is full of energy every time he appears on the stage.
This time is no exception.
On the other hand, the Jacksonville Jaguars tried to make a comeback and turn the situation around.
On the other hand, the Kansas Chiefs tried to pursue the victory and widen the score gap.
One can imagine the intensity of the confrontation.
Relying on Revis' interception, the Kansas Chiefs directly launched an attack from the opponent's half of the 40-yard position. They only needed to get a first attack to enter the free kick range. But the point is that the Kansas Chiefs wanted to maximize the advantage of the interception. ization and scored a touchdown; the Jacksonville Jaguars hoped to minimize the consequences of the interception and struck out on the spot.
Intensity, off the charts.
This is why Reid sent Hunter.
Ten yards from the first gear, the Kansas Chiefs played a double pass trick, using Kelsey and Hill to attract attention. Smith connected Hunter with a short pass. Hunter completed the advancement by relying on the two receivers to open the way.
Nine yards!
From the beginning, the Kansas Chiefs relied on dazzling passing tactics to catch their opponents off guard. They did not even give the two cornerbacks a chance to get in close contact with the receivers. Instead, they maximized their passing advantages. This made Jacksonville The Jaguars were slightly underprepared.
But the Jacksonville Jaguars immediately showed intensity.
On second down and one yard, five members of the home team's defensive team rushed to pass the ball and ripped open the pocket protection. They were about to sack Smith. At the critical moment, Smith threw the football to Hunter. Hunter tried to push forward with the ball forcefully, but was met by the defensive end. Striker Campbell was tackled and he fell to the ground without any chance.
Lost two yards.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' layer-by-layer defense once again showed its power and held the line tightly.
So, is Levi ready to appear?
No, Reid still looked at the overall situation and did not rashly put all the eggs here.
On the one hand, the kicker Buck began to warm up and prepare.
Smith, on the other hand, once again gave the football to Hunter to run the ball.
This time, Hunter lived up to his hopes!
