Chapter 478: Get everything you want
“Number 23!”
"No. 23 made a head-on breakthrough, like a bulldozer, knocking over the joint interception of two defensive players. It couldn't be stopped! It couldn't be stopped at all!"
"Emergency stop! Change direction!"
"Shake it off!"
"Levi continues to push forward, and the Philadelphia Eagles defense is in chaos."
"The fourth-down conversion was successful easily, and we advanced seventeen yards in one fell swoop."
…
"Levi, Levi get rid of the grapple!"
"Braking, turning around, Marseille slalom - beautiful! Levi got away again, but the Philadelphia Eagles defense still couldn't stop the edge walker!"
"God!"
"Five yards! Ten yards!"
"Levi is a nightmare for the Philadelphia Eagles defense. In the second week of the regular season, Peterson was not able to solve this problem, and he still hasn't been able to solve it now."
"Eighteen yards!"
"Another big yardage advance on the ground, the Kansas City Chiefs have entered the heart of the Philadelphia Eagles."
…
"Oh, oh oh oh!"
"With the fake run and the real pass, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive team was completely thrown around. Their attention was completely focused on Levi and failed to keep up with Smith's rhythm."
"Smith connected with Hill, beautiful, and the first attack was easily won again."
The flowing clouds and flowing water are like broken bamboo——
After returning from the halftime break, the Kansas Chiefs' offense seemed to have untied the reins. The entire offense was smooth and sharp, relaxed and combined with passing and running. The Philadelphia Eagles defensive team was instantly confused and completely led by the nose.
It cannot be said that the Philadelphia Eagles defensive team is not working hard. They are still trying, focused, committed, and 100%; but the entire rhythm and state are just wrong, and the Kansas Chiefs' entire offensive line is completely open.
Smith made three of three passes, Levi and Hunter teamed up to run the ball five times, and only faced third gear once. The entire offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, and it was so exciting that Collinsworth's scalp felt numb in the live broadcast room.
Before and after, in less than three minutes, the Kansas Chiefs had already entered the opponent's half-court twenty-yard line, and their unstoppable offensive completely confused the Philadelphia Eagles.
What...what's going on?
Something was vaguely wrong. The Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to be in high morale and pursue the victory, but unexpectedly, the Kansas Chiefs turned on all their firepower to reverse the situation.
Until this time, the Philadelphia Eagles woke up like a dream and finally gained a foothold. They showed the absolute intensity of the red zone defense that ranked fourth in the league this season, stood on the 17-yard line, and started a desperate struggle with the Kansas City Chiefs.
An effective collision with Smith finally broke the 100% pass success rate in this wave of offense.
A key pass was broken and intercepted from Kelce's hands, directly pushing the Kansas Chiefs into a ten-yard dilemma on third down.
Ah, ah ah ah.
Bradham roared, and the Philadelphia Eagles defensive team also fought bloody battles.
Ten yards on third gear, a dilemma.
Whether it's the Kansas Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles, this is a test.
However, Smith was not panicked. From three successful passes to two consecutive failed passes, he could feel the overall increase in the intensity and density of the opponent's defense after approaching the end zone, but Smith remained firm-minded.
"attack!"
At the kickoff, Smith did not pause and turned around to hand the football to Levi——
Is this a running ball?
Because Smith was too firm and decisive, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive team was a little hesitant in their judgment, worried that this was a smoke bomb for the Kansas Chiefs. After all, similar tactics in the first half caused them to suffer many losses.
Moreover, this is ten yards on third down, shouldn't Reid continue to pass the ball?
But then I thought about it, Smith failed to pass the ball twice in a row, and now he seems to be running the ball normally.
A pause, various speculations, that is, this fleeting complexity, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive players have missed the opportunity to react.
Levi! Bradham's pupils shrank and he couldn't believe that Smith actually handed the football to Levi. There was no trick or trick, it was just Levi.
Levi, without hesitation or pause, knew at a glance that he was preparing to seize time. He didn't even open up the space and broke through directly from the slot on the right.
Fast is just one word.
From Smith's kickoff to Levi's running the ball, everything was seamlessly connected in one go. Taking full advantage of the Philadelphia Eagles' subtle mentality of watching and waiting, Levi's figure had already crossed the line of scrimmage and drilled straight out.
BRADHAM: Oops.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a "4-3" defensive formation, with four defensive fronts and three linebackers. Therefore, once the defensive front is unable to exert enough interference and pressure on the running back, the linebackers will be under tremendous pressure.
Such as now.
Levi grabbed a time difference, and with the help of his offensive line teammates, the offensive tackle obviously made a move across the interception. In just a short moment, Levi had already broken through the slot sideways.
Bradham sounded the alarm immediately and stepped forward without hesitation——
grapple. grapple. grapple.
Bradham's mind was clear and he had no other thoughts at all. He was focused on Levi, and then he saw that red color coming towards his face.
Got it!
Bradham opened his arms and caught Levi in the narrow gap.
Levi tried to grab time and break through from the slot. The space here was narrow and there was almost no room for adjustment. Once Bradham caught up with the reaction speed, he had nowhere to escape, and the only possible outcome was a head-on collision.
So, Bradham did tackle Levi.
However, doesn’t Levi have any backup plan?
Of course it's impossible.
Kick off the ground, step forward, hit——
At the moment when Levi and Bradham came into contact, Levi exerted his strength.
Not only did he not pull back, but he turned slightly sideways and hit Bradham's chest head-on with his left shoulder.
Instantly, exert force.
Bang.
Bradham was grabbing Levi with open arms, but at the moment of contact, he felt an overwhelming force explode in his chest.
A dull moment.
Bradham's limbs were stiff, his brain was frozen, and his whole body was numb.
Similarly, Levi felt uncomfortable. The fierce reaction force rushed towards him, so that his center of gravity retreated a small half step; but Levi did not resist, but retreated along with the reaction force to regain the distance.
The left leg touched the ground, the right leg supported, and started to rotate counterclockwise.
The center of gravity is swaying and the strength is stagnant. He holds on to one breath and completes the turn.
Then, take a lateral step to the right, and the space between the lateral movements will be opened.
Bradham realized Levi's intention and gritted his teeth to follow him. However, he never expected that a figure would change positions with Levi and intercept him in front of Bradham.
It's Kelsey.
Bradham failed to brake quickly and collided with Kelsey.
Bradham's center of gravity was originally unstable and his lower body was empty. With this collision, his knees were not supported and he fell directly to his butt. The whole world spun and his vision went dark, leaving only a roar in his ears.
On that side, Levi relied on Kelsey's pick to gain breathing space, but not much, because the entanglement in the slot just delayed a little time, so that he lost the opportunity and cornerback Ronald-Darby ) has become stuck in position.
Darby was also a player transferred from the Buffalo Bills in the offseason, but he sprained his ankle in the season opener, so he missed the second game of the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs until his return at the end of the season. He firmly controls the Philadelphia Eagles' starting cornerback position.
In front of him, Darby was on full alert, straddling Levi's path like an eagle catching a chicken, his focused and deep eyes burning with high morale.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
