Chapter 482 The bloody spread
"Zach, Zac!"
"calm!"
Seeing that Ertz was about to lose control, at the critical moment, Fowles grabbed Ertz and forced Ertz to retreat, thus avoiding an accident.
Revis glared at Ertz fiercely and spat to the side: He was almost, almost, very close to irritating that powder magazine.
pity.
Revis was panting, his lungs were burning, his knees were shaking, and his muscles were protesting, like a puppet that might fall apart at any moment.
All along, Revis refused to admit that he was past his prime. Refusing to admit that age and injuries are slowing him down, he has gained new vitality in the first three games of this season's playoffs and even won Reid's trust to start in the Super Bowl.
However, standing on the Super Bowl stage, the consequences of overdraft finally became apparent.
“He can’t keep up with the coverage he had in his prime.”
"His coverage and explosiveness have suffered a serious decline and he can't keep up with the rhythm."
"The Island King's island is now giving everything he wants."
Those voices continued to be noisy in his ears, and he refused to face them; but he did not expect that his body could not lie, and it protested strongly.
Throughout the game, they retreated again and again, gave way again and again. The Kansas Chiefs' already weak second-line defense, especially the cornerback position, was even more demanding in this game, which made Foles shine and Klemen. Te and Ertz show off their power.
This is a shame.
Revis was aggrieved, angry, unwilling, and uncomfortable, but what else could he do?
If you can’t stop it, you can’t stop it; if you can’t keep up, you just can’t keep up. Competitive sports are so cruel.
Even the strategy of trying to provoke Ertz failed, making his attempts seem like a last ditch effort.
Panting, Revis couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the VIP lounge, looking for Berry's figure——
So, is this how they end up?
Both Berry and Revis, will they regrettably withdraw from the stage of history?
In fact, Revis has tried his best. Although the coverage and interception rate have declined, in today's game, the Kansas Chiefs' superb performance against Foles was able to force the Philadelphia Eagles to the fourth gear twice. One yard and many times putting the opponent in third gear, the performance of the defensive team is remarkable.
In the defense just now, Revis really risked his life to face Ertz head-on. The tight end has a size advantage against the cornerback, and Ertz is five years younger than Revis and is at the peak of his youth; However, Revis still forced Ertz until his footsteps were messy and unable to protect the football.
Finally, create a dropped ball.
Revis has burned all his energy. Without reservation.
pity.
"Touchdown!"
"After a full three minutes of video review and deliberation by the referee, it was a touchdown."
"Although Ertz was unable to control the football before his knee touched the ground, Revis successfully caused the ball to fumble; however, Ertz's steps did not enter the end zone when he caught the ball. After catching the ball, he moved forward with the ball and escorted the football across the end zone line. , according to the rules, this is still a touchdown.”
"However, this penalty is controversial."
"What rules should we use to define this touchdown?"
"There was obviously a dropped ball in the end zone, and the referee team had confirmed it; however, the referee team came to a conclusion through another touchdown judgment method, and determined that Ertz continued to advance into the end zone after receiving the ball, so this was a goal The touchdown, no doubt about it, was divisive."
"After the game, we need to take another look."
On the TV screen, the footage was still being replayed over and over again, and voices with different opinions on the referee's decision made the social media a rage.
The same goes for U.S. Bank Stadium.
Revis was on the verge of exhaustion, but the other players on the defensive team surrounded the referee and argued with each other.
The atmosphere is heating up, and the stadium has transformed into a volcano. The game was slightly interrupted.
However.
Reid did not raise a red flag challenge because he knew the rules of the game. Although they had objections and the penalty was controversial, the referee team had reviewed, discussed, and reconsidered, and finally came to a conclusion, which also means that this is the final decision. , the coach is also incapable of challenging.
The only thing they can do is look forward and wait until the game is over to submit a formal appeal.
At this time, in the tactical room at the back of the team above the court, Vicky had already started to make a written complaint, but the game still needed to continue. They needed to focus on the game, and there was no point in continuing to argue.
The referee said, that's a touchdown, so, that's a touchdown.
"No matter what, the Philadelphia Eagles came back from the dead."
"There were four plays and one yard in the front, and then there was a fumble in the end zone and the ball escaped. In this wave of offense, Peterson's gamble finally paid off handsomely."
"The Philadelphia Eagles took the lead again, and the alternating lead situation continued in the second half."
"What's even more incredible is that all the offenses so far in the second half have ended with touchdowns. The offensive teams of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas Chiefs went crazy."
but!
Accidents happen, and again and again.
"God!"
"The extra point went wide of the goal."
“It’s unbelievable, the third time all game — the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs combined, the third special teams turnover.”
"This time, Elliott missed the extra point on his second kick."
"Of course, from a scoring perspective, there is no decisive change. If a goal is scored, it is a six-point difference, and if a goal is not scored, it is a five-point difference. They are both differences in one ball possession; but in terms of psychological pressure, the situation is completely different."
"The Philadelphia Eagles still felt the pressure, and were affected by the referee's decision just now. The special teams team was obviously a little impatient and panicked, and the error in the extra point was too obvious."
"So, can Reid seize the opportunity to turn things around again this time?"
On the court, Elliott stood there in despair.
Reason, he knew, at least this time missing the extra point was not fatal and had no direct impact on the score gap.
But he still couldn't forgive himself. Missing one kick was bad enough, but missing two kicks was simply despairing. If he hadn't missed two extra points...
"Stick!"
"No one wants to see mistakes, and no one wants them to happen, but the frequent occurrence of mistakes just shows the stalemate and tension of the game."
"There is no doubt that this was a fantastic game, the pressure was unimaginable for both sides and as the game continued to heat up, mistakes were made when players were tense and eager to keep up the pace and intensity. Although both sides are concentrating on the game, mistakes still become an unknown factor that changes the course of the game.”
"Blood and murderous intent are spreading in the air. No one is exempt. Not only the two teams who are fighting it out, but also the audience who are watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this moment. Their hearts are almost bursting. , emotionally and physically out of control.”
"We are also feeling the pressure of the game with our bodies."
"It is precisely because of this that what determines the championship is often not outstanding performance, but detailed adjustments."
"No one could have predicted the impact of this missed extra point - or even this touchdown penalty on the Super Bowl, but at least from now on, the Philadelphia Eagles have taken the lead."
"And that's still not all."
