Chapter 473 Philadelphia Special
Tight. Sticky. asphyxia.
The Super Bowl, indeed the Super Bowl, was a nail-biting game that was completely tense. The youth of both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs was exposed. Both teams made mistakes and constantly changed the course of the game.
After some tug-of-war and twists and turns, the Kansas City Chiefs were slightly ahead and pushed the Philadelphia Eagles to the edge of the cliff. However, Peterson once again showed his courage and courage——
The so-called "patricide" is definitely not just talk.
With eight seconds left before the end of the first half, in the red zone, it was a touchdown on fourth down and one yard.
The Philadelphia Eagles chose to play hard.
The reason lies in Peterson's determination.
Of course, the Philadelphia Eagles can choose a free kick, steadily earn three points, and enter the halftime break with a slight advantage of "19:17". This is a strategy.
But at the same time, the Philadelphia Eagles can also choose a more aggressive, tougher, and bolder strategy, and force a fourth gear to challenge for a touchdown——
Successfully, the Philadelphia Eagles were able to score a touchdown, enter halftime with a six-point advantage, and gain the upper hand in terms of momentum and fighting spirit.
Failure, the Philadelphia Eagles left the Kansas Chiefs with an awkward offensive starting position and little time left, almost ensuring that they would not fall further into the mud; moreover, the team was only one point behind at halftime, and the score difference was not big. Will not affect confidence.
The most important thing is that the strong fourth gear shows a mental outlook and demonstrates the determination and belief of the Philadelphia Eagles to win.
Peterson came prepared, from the tactical level to the mental level.
In an instant, the game became completely tense, and the stalemate in the first half reached a new peak. Both teams showed their indomitable courage——
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
When brave men meet, wise men prevail.
On the field, the situation suddenly changed.
Foles had assigned the offensive team to complete the formation, but when he was preparing to kick off, he stood up straight again and adjusted his tactics. An unusual atmosphere spread in the air.
If the quarterback standing in front of you at this moment is Peyton Manning, his on-the-spot adjustments would be his signature tactics and master-level command.
But Fowles?
Few people know that after being waived by the Kansas City Chiefs last season, Foles seriously considered retiring and was mentally prepared.
Why did Foles temporarily change his tactics? How are you going to modify your tactics?
In an instant, the game between the offensive team and the defensive team was pushed to the extreme.
Air is burning.
“Philly-Special.”
Fowles shouted.
Then.
Foles stepped forward again. He and running back Clement were both standing five yards vertically behind center Jason Kelsey. It looked like it should be a pistol formation; but now he returned to Jason -Behind Kelsey, he kept shouting at the offensive players.
"Philly-Philly."
Again and again.
Foles made sure every offensive player heard his chant.
Houston was a little uneasy. He vaguely sensed something was wrong with the situation, but he couldn't tell a reason. There was no time to modify tactics in the blink of an eye. The passive defensive team had to stay the same to cope with all changes.
Houston remained calm and glanced quickly at Foles out of the corner of his eye.
Foles' footsteps have moved to the far right side of the offensive line.
Wait, kickoff?
Houston was stunned.
Without warning, suddenly, the Philadelphia Eagles called kickoff.
Wait, what?
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The Kansas Chiefs defensive team started to step forward almost reflexively, and immediately hit the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line. At this time, they showed the intensity of their excellent red zone defense throughout the season, not only putting enough pressure on the front line confrontation. , and the second-line defense was fully pressed, and they were closely guarding without giving an inch, and the pressure was overwhelming.
However, Houston is still struggling to cope -
What about rugby?
Now that Foles is behind the offensive tackle, who does the football go to?
The answer is, Clement. After moving from running back to wide receiver, Clement actually challenged the quarterback!
No. meeting. Bar.
Jason Kelsey put the football directly into Clement's arms.
Clement seemed to realize that he was the target of public criticism. He grabbed the football as if it were a hot potato. He turned 90 degrees to the left and without hesitation, without the ball touching his hand, he threw the football diagonally to the left. go out.
Not forward, but backward.
The target is clearly Trey Burton.
No. 3 tight end.
It is not the No. 1 tight end or the No. 2 tight end, but the No. 3 tight end Burton, who was an undrafted rookie. Like Clement, he had almost no chance to play throughout the season and served as a substitute for the backup tight end.
But now, Burton is in the spotlight.
Originally, Burton lined up on the left side. After kicking off, he turned around and ran back, running laterally behind Clement's parallel line.
Catch the ball, run, move laterally.
Like a gust of wind, Burton reached out and scooped up the football, then crossed the entire gap from the left side of the pocket protection along the back, passed behind Clement, and came to the right side of the pocket.
Then, pass the ball.
The Kansas Chiefs defensive team was completely unable to keep up with the rhythm and was completely involved in the dazzling tactical design of the Philadelphia Eagles. They had no time to think or respond, and could only stick to their posts based on the tactics.
Front line, pressure.
second line, close
However! but!
The Kansas Chiefs have a matchup missing——
Burton, passed the ball.
His steps were light and easy across the entire pocket, from the left to the right, without any hesitation or hesitation. He didn't give the Kansas Chiefs defensive team any time to react. He even raised his right hand before the defensive team's attention could follow the football. Just a light throw and the football flew out.
Pass target, Nick Foles.
On the right side of the end zone, the door was wide open. Although the Kansas Chiefs defensive team was closely guarding every catch point, it missed Foles alone, a catch point that was not a catch point.
Foles, standing in a gap without being blocked or hit, turned around and easily pocketed Burton's pass.
Then, like a boy chasing the wind, he held the football high in the end zone and ran wildly.
Although the Kansas Chiefs defensive team started following the football immediately, it was too late, everything was too late, and ultimately failed to stop Foles.
"Touchdown!"
"God, God, God!"
"Wow."
"Touchdown!"
The live broadcast room was completely dumbfounded.
Because it was so shocking and so unexpected, Collinsworth even forgot to scream and roar. He stumbled and became tongue-tied. He kept repeating the same words like a fool and couldn't help but want to check his eyes.
"Touchdown!"
"There's no doubt it was a touchdown."
"This is really an incredible offensive strategy, Peterson - incredible, Peterson showed unparalleled courage and courage."
"We are witnessing history."
"Foles became the first quarterback ever to catch a touchdown in the Super Bowl, with a one-yard touchdown pass from Burton, regaining the lead for the Philadelphia Eagles in a tough situation on fourth down and one yard. Advantages.”
The entire Bank of America Stadium went crazy. Countless spectators held their heads and even forgot to scream. They just kept mumbling:
Incredible. Incredible!
The Philadelphia Eagles ended the first half in a shocking fashion.
