Chapter 481: Escape from Death
Stalemate.
Completely glued and extremely tight.
You come and go, tit-for-tat, the air continues to heat up, and the U.S. Bank Stadium with its closed roof is surging with a billowing heat wave, just like the coming of a scorching summer.
The whole audience was dripping with sweat and on the verge of suffocation.
Then.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas Chiefs exchanged another lead.
First, the Philadelphia Eagles unexpectedly regained the momentum of their ground attack, but in the end, Foles passed the ball and connected with Ertz for a touchdown, once again taking the lead.
Then the Kansas Chiefs played a wave of short passing coordination, from Kelsey to Hill to Hunter, and finally unexpectedly chose a five-receiver formation. Among the dazzling running routes of the wide receivers, Smith found no one to mark. Levi scored a touchdown with a seven-yard short pass.
From "30:31" stalemate to "37:38".
The stalemate continues.
Since the start of the game, there has still been no punt, and every offensive team can enter the free kick area; and the second half has gone further, whether it is the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas Chiefs, every offensive team can bring back a touchdown. You chase The score I was chasing was completely entangled.
If Foles of the Philadelphia Eagles teamed up with Clement to perform at an MVP level, then Smith and Levi on the Kansas Chiefs side also performed at an MVP level. Both sides refused to give in and continued to improve their condition. You can clearly feel the blood. The breath spreads in the air.
One point, another point, as the game progresses, the tension and pressure are still rising. Bank of America Stadium is like a dull pressure cooker, and any slightest disturbance may completely detonate.
Now, if either side makes a slight deviation or mistake, the price may be unbearable. Once one side is unable to score or even fails to score a touchdown, the balance will be broken, and the suspense of victory or defeat may suddenly widen the gap, and then there will be no more. Opportunity to turn around.
Every opportunity is extremely precious.
This scene was definitely not expected before the game. Just like the entire 2017 season, the dark horse showdown in the Super Bowl also brought surprises——
It has actually become the most exciting, tense and exciting event in the millennium and even in the history of the Super Bowl, explaining the secret of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
Then.
The Kansas Chiefs defense is outstanding.
"Pass not completed!"
"God, the Kansas City Chiefs made the most important and critical defensive play of the game. They intercepted Foles' fourth pass to Aghola."
"Wow!"
"Previously, Foles targeted Ahola for three consecutive passes. Ahola completed all the catches and continued to advance, but this time Kansas Chiefs cornerback Revis finally stood up and told Foles and Ahola Hora, no one can make four consecutive catches in his field."
"There is no doubt that Revis has dropped a lot compared to his peak zone marking ability. He has not performed much in this game so far, but at the critical moment, Revis finally showed his determination and courage and defended cleanly. Cut off the smooth connection between Fowles and Ahola."
"Fourth gear and one yard."
"The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a strikeout at the 45-yard line in their own half. This position cannot attempt a free kick. We may be about to witness the first punt of the game; at the same time, this is the second punt of the game. The strikeout last time occurred in the last wave of offense in the first half. The Philadelphia Eagles chose to force a fourth down and hit the 'Philly Special'..."
"etc."
"God, wait, Peterson chose to force fourth gear again."
"incredible!"
"Incredible!"
"In the last wave of offense in the first half, Peterson chose to force the fourth gear. That was an understandable situation; but now, the situation is completely different. Obviously, Peterson is ready to make a desperate move, because now the offense of both sides is hot, and the Philadelphia Eagles The defense doesn't have the confidence to stop the Kansas City Chiefs, so they have to continue the offense."
"This time on fourth down and one yard, the Philadelphia Eagles refused to punt and they had to convert."
"This courage, this courage."
The whole audience was shocked.
It has to be said that Peterson indeed showed a completely different temperament from the second week of the regular season in all aspects. His on-the-spot command ability in crisis situations allowed people to see his style in the Kansas City Chiefs. He was also the Philadelphia Eagles to poach Peterson as the new coach. The root cause of the head coach.
However, it is a test for the Kansas Chiefs defense.
At the last moment of the first half, they had already completed a strikeout, but it became an opportunity for "Philly Special" to shine; now, they had completed a strikeout again, but the Philadelphia Eagles' perseverance forced them to complete one more level of defense. The performance never seems to be enough and always lacks something.
Anger, burning quietly.
The entire audience, including all members of the Kansas Chiefs offensive team, stared with bated breath. result--
"Danger."
“The Kansas City Chiefs five-man pass rush, pressure, the Kansas City Chiefs applied unbelievable pressure.”
"The pocket is torn."
"Fowles!"
"God, Falls!"
"Foles dodged the impact of defensive end Jones, and Foles got rid of Houston's sack!"
"incredible!"
"Johnson, inside linebacker Johnson was cutting into the pocket, but Foles still didn't give up."
"Falls is still moving."
"Fowles is still observing."
"Johnson! Falls!"
"Pass the ball!"
"Just when Johnson and Houston were about to double-team and successfully combine for a sack, Foles passed the ball."
"The passing target is—"
"Ertz! Revis is getting stuck!"
"Ertz, wow, Ertz beat Revis to catch the ball."
"A two-yard short pass and a one-yard conversion on fourth down was completed. Unbelievable, the Philadelphia Eagles escaped death again. Both fourth-down conversions were successful in the game."
"Foles, Nick Foles, with the help of God, stood on the edge of the cliff and showed unparalleled calmness and courage. There is no doubt that it was an elite performance."
"Now, there is only one question, who is Nick Foles?"
Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles succeeded with one yard on fourth down, and again, Foles wrote a miracle.
U.S. Bank Stadium was roaring with a chorus of chants.
“Special to Philadelphia!”
“Special to Philadelphia!”
This scene severely damaged the morale of the Kansas Chiefs, while the Philadelphia Eagles once again burned the residual energy of the small universe and instantly improved their status.
Passing and running, the Philadelphia Eagles' offense rejuvenated, pushed forward continuously, and reached the end zone in one go——
Foles' 11-yard pass found tight end Ertz and scored a touchdown.
"but."
"Wait a minute, the officials need to review this touchdown."
"Revis really went all out, clenching his teeth and blocking Ertz's position, and continued to interfere after Ertz caught the ball. The veteran was completely blinded, so that before Ertz fell to the ground, the football Already jumping out of the arms and not being able to fully control the ball.”
"Now, the referee needs to look back."
Ertz was angry. He failed to control the football and actually dropped the ball. If the touchdown was disallowed...but he thought Revis fouled.
Revis was panting and sweating profusely. He felt like a stray dog running wildly under the sun, burning energy and soul to barely survive.
At this time, looking at Ertz who stepped forward to provoke him, Revis refused to follow this trick. He lowered his voice and threw trash talk, which easily angered Ertz. Ertz clenched his fists and rushed forward. Weiss wasn't afraid at all, he bumped head-on with his helmet on, and saw that the two sides were about to start a struggle.
The smoke is about to break out.
