Chapter 488 A desire
Land, spin, fly.
The movement was completed in one go. The moment Revis realized that the football slipped through his fingertips by a hair's breadth, he reacted without hesitation.
In the swirling chaos, Revis caught Ertz's No. 86 jersey.
Without pausing, the body hit him like a torpedo.
Grappling?
No, not possible.
Revis knew that in the 2015 season, he missed ten tackles, which was why he was laid off by the New York Jets; the tight end in front of him already had a matchup advantage, coupled with his current body and condition, everything All made it extremely difficult to tackle Ertz.
Tonight, the evidence continued throughout the game.
Now, he couldn't make a mistake, he couldn't let pride take over his brain.
He needs to be more grounded.
So, not grappling, but impacting.
With weight, strength, and gravity, Revis desperately used his body as a heavy weapon and slammed into Ertz's body.
Shattered to pieces, no matter what.
Bang.
There was a loud bang.
The whole world is caught in a storm.
"Stop."
"It's a stop!"
"Revis stopped Ertz on the spot, unbelievable!"
"Revis accurately predicted Foles's tactical intention to connect with Ertz and tried to intercept the pass but was a little short!"
"He didn't give up."
"The second start on the spot, a very difficult single-leg support turn, and a diving-to-the-top impact did not give Ertz any chance at all."
"Pass not completed!"
"Ertz failed to maintain balance and complete the ball. Ertz actually missed the most important and critical ball in the game."
"……God!"
"Philadelphia Eagles, strikeout."
The words broke free from the shackles of the tip of the tongue and rushed out, but fell into shock and impact in the next second. Collinsworth and Michaels exchanged a glance, and their brains roared——
Following the game's first sack and the game's first ball transfer, the game's first punt finally occurred.
Although the Kansas Chiefs have struck out twice before, the Philadelphia Eagles chose to force fourth gear in the first two times and succeeded.
Therefore, until now, there has still been no punt in this game.
But it is certain that Peterson will not take risks again this time——
The Philadelphia Eagles were in their own 24 yards, facing third down and six yards, which was a very dangerous position.
Whether it was a failed fourth down conversion or any mistakes during the forced fourth down, the price was unbearable for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although the facts were before his eyes, what was unbelievable was that Peterson actually hesitated for a moment. Tonight was indeed a killing spree on different levels and with various meanings. In the end, Peterson did not lose his mind after all. He reined in his horse and took a deep breath. tone, and a big wave of his hand.
The SWAT team appears.
Punt!
Finally, there was a punt for the first time in the game; and, if nothing else, it would be the only punt because there was not much time left in the game.
Time, one minute and twenty-one seconds.
Timeouts, one for the Kansas City Chiefs and three for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Score, "43:38".
The suspense was pushed to the extreme at this moment.
All this is really crazy. They are witnessing a game that will go down in history, and the suspense of victory or defeat lasts until the last moment.
However.
Revis didn't celebrate, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
His whole body was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud. He couldn't even move a finger. His chest was heaving and heaving, but he couldn't feel any oxygen. He looked at the roof of Bank of America Stadium with a broken focus, and his mind went blank. No thoughts, just lying like this. He tried his best, really tried his best. Burned down.
Until, a face appeared.
Levi.
Levi stretched out his hand and smiled.
Revis was sluggish all over, and he barely managed to squeeze out a bit of strength to hold Levi's right hand, and stood up tremblingly, his knees were like noodles, and he could hardly stand steady.
Then, Revis saw that scene——
A pair of eyes looked over firmly and bravely, gathering faith.
Above the stands of the stadium, the vast red and boundless colors all stood up. No one spoke, but they just clenched their fists and beat their chests, one sound after another.
Involuntarily, Revis's heart started beating again.
There were thousands of words, but he didn't know how to express them. In the end, Revis just gave Levi a hug and patted him on the back with the remaining strength.
"The game isn't over until the final whistle blows, right?"
After saying that, Revis smiled, tragically and tragically.
Finally, Revis was selfless for once in his career, not fighting for himself, but for the team, for the teammates who fought side by side, and for the fans who burned their lives.
This feeling actually isn't bad.
Bang bang. Bang bang.
Everyone's heart beat against their chests.
In the only punt of the game, the Philadelphia Eagles still showed Peterson's courage and tried to play some tricks. The main purpose was to waste time and disrupt the rhythm, continue to cause trouble, and increase pressure on the opponent.
Reed, however, remained sane.
He knows that there is no point wasting time on punting now. With such time, they might as well let the offensive team come on and play one more ball.
Therefore, although the Philadelphia Eagles deliberately shorted the punt to lure the Kansas City Chiefs into a counterattack, the Kansas Chiefs' special team performed very steadily and steadily controlled the football within their own 33 yards without any counterattack.
Finally, the Kansas Chiefs offense appears again.
So, how to fight this wave of attacks?
In fact, this scene is not unfamiliar. Facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Tennessee Titans, the New England Patriots, etc., the Kansas City Chiefs have faced such moments; it’s just that the situation in front of them is more difficult——
Because Reid only had one timeout in hand.
Moreover, time is still passing.
As you can imagine, the tactical options are immediately limited to a limited range.
They have no time to choose ground attack, passing attack is a high probability event; at the same time, instead of passing the ball casually, they need to pass the ball to the sideline, create an out-of-bounds stoppage as much as possible, and control the rhythm of the game.
Disaster.
In addition, don't forget that facing the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans, different offensive strategies and different tricks have exposed their cards, which also means that the Philadelphia Eagles are not so easy to fall into.
It is difficult to reach the sky.
The air, completely tight.
Levi noticed Smith's nervousness immediately, and his palms couldn't help but sweat. He knew that Smith still had the shadow of the ball he just dropped, and the pressure in big moments might be a shackle for Smith.
But don’t forget that everything has two sides to one body.
Shadows can also be motivations.
Levi also did not forget the fragility in Smith's eyes after he dropped the ball. Those unwillingness and struggles, those grievances and depression were still vivid in his mind.
So Levi bumped Smith's shoulder.
Smith was startled and looked up sharply.
Then, Smith saw Levi, whose brow bone was bandaged with gauze, smile.
"Captain. I want to win once."
The same words burst out with different powers.
Smith's heart shrank and he subconsciously turned to look at the player tunnel. Revis refused the team doctor's advice and stubbornly sat down without returning to the locker room; Berry still stood there like a statue on crutches, watching them intently. .
A fighting spirit and pride burned in his chest.
He is sincere, he really wants to win once, he really really wants to.
