Chapter 584 Widening the gap


Chapter 584: Widening the gap
“Wonderful.”

Michaels regained his rationality and did not cheer, shout or raise his voice, but in his rationality, he could find more sincerity.

"A long touchdown that spanned half the field and headed straight for the end zone, and a long touchdown run on the ground. The defending champion showed an excellent competitive state."

"Perhaps, the audience who have just turned on the TV at this time may be confused when they see the score numbers. What on earth is the commentator talking about? Isn't this a one-sided game? Where is the excitement?"

"The progress of the game is far more intense than the score."

"The Pittsburgh Steelers also show confidence and determination. Tomlin's full preparation for this game can be felt in the tactics and execution on both ends of the offense and defense. They have brought enough pressure and impact, and their performance so far is definitely not bad."

"To be precise, it's not just 'not bad'. It can be described as outstanding."

“However, the excellence of the Pittsburgh Steelers is further proof of the excellence of the Kansas City Chiefs.”

"The Kansas Chiefs in front of me are familiar. The dazzling tactical coordination can still make people shine. The steady and steady offensive strategy often hides an edge. If you don't pay attention, you can give your opponent a fatal blow."

"At the same time, the Kansas Chiefs in front of us are also unfamiliar. Although this team showed the explosive power to survive in desperate situations in the playoffs last season, which was also the key to their final victory; but now, there is no need for desperation or desperation. When things get difficult, they can unleash their explosive power.”

"This is progress, but also transformation."

"So, even though the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing well, the Kansas City Chiefs are still ahead by two touchdowns."

This is the part that really makes Michaels’ eyes shine——

Who would have thought that under the spotlight, the defending champion could actually bring unexpected surprises?
“However, this is just the beginning.”

"So far, the number of gears is too small. We can only get a glimpse of part of the results of the Kansas Chiefs' offseason training. It is still too early to draw conclusions now."

"There's still a lot of suspense."

"Is it too early to enter the peak state now? How long can this state last?"

"Is that all you need to show your cards in the opening stage? How will this young team respond while waiting for the opponent to adapt to the intensity and launch a counterattack?"

"After the intensity of the confrontation escalates to a higher level, can they maintain this rhythm? If they are disrupted, how will they perform in the follow-up response?"

"And so on and so forth. After all, the first quarter of the game has just begun."

"But there is no doubt that the defending champions are worth looking forward to. The energy and fighting spirit they have shown is refreshing."

"To be precise, they have the confidence of defending champions, but not the pride of defending champions. They still put themselves in a position of continuous progress and growth. When facing opponents, they do not wait for challenges and impacts, but take the initiative to fight."

"Last season's Super Bowl MVP Levi still showed his desire to win. Just after the game started, his running and receiving yards had both exceeded 50 yards, and he scored a running touchdown and a receiving touchdown. The touchdown, it was a dominant performance and it was eye-catching.”

"Mahomes, who is under pressure to take over Smith's main quarterback position this season, has also shown his youthful vitality. He has shown the results of his offseason training in terms of defensive reading and timing of passes, and has adapted to the professional game. Faster than expected.”

"This kind of mental outlook is different, young and energetic, youthful and passionate. To be honest, I am very much looking forward to the next performance of the Kansas City Chiefs, very, very much."

Admire. Admire. Still admired.

Michaels temporarily left the analysis at the tactical level and looked at the overall perspective. It can be seen at a glance that the Kansas Chiefs suppressed the Pittsburgh Steelers, comprehensively suppressing and leading from the tactical level to the mental level.

The situation is indeed difficult for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Falling behind is bad enough; going all out but still not seeing any hope of reversing the situation is a mental blow.

Michaels hit the nail on the head—

Sure enough, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in trouble again. Roethlisberger almost encountered an interception, and the passing attack was hindered again. This time even the struggle seemed insignificant, and he struck out hastily, giving the opportunity to continue to expand the lead to the Kansas Chiefs.

The defending champion showed no mercy.

This time, Levi temporarily left the game to rest and adjust, and Hunter came on in rotation; but Mahomes still played a wonderful wave of balanced pass-and-run offense. He did not act too hastily, but played steadily and further firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

In the end, Mahomes connected with Kelsey with a 13-yard pass for another touchdown.

"0:21".

Competition, beat flowers.

It was only the first quarter of the game, and the Kansas City Chiefs were already far ahead and widening the gap. Not only did the offensive team perform well, but the defensive team, which has been criticized, was also remarkable and successfully shut down its opponents.

The whole audience was shocked.

Last year in the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers were locked in an inseparable battle. Although the Kansas City Chiefs won in the end, they were consumed so much that they ushered in a painful six-game losing streak and fell into a long trough. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense team was even more concerned about the limelight. The energetic Levi learned a good lesson.

Everyone is looking forward to meeting again in the new season. Even before the Bell incident, the league had already arranged this game as the opening game. It can be said that it is highly anticipated.

However, that's it?

Not only was it a surprise, but it was also a huge disappointment.

All of a sudden, heated discussions started bustling——

It seems that the Pittsburgh Steelers without Bell are equivalent to a tiger with its teeth pulled out. Bell’s strategic significance to Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers is greater than imagined; I wonder if the Pittsburgh Steelers regret labeling Bell with an exclusive franchise for two consecutive years. .

In front of the LCD screen, relatives and friends were cheering and toasting in celebration, but Bell was not.

Bell folded his hands on his chest and stared at the screen dully.

On the one hand, he is really angry with the Pittsburgh Steelers and wishes they had lost all their games this season.

On the other hand, seeing the Pittsburgh Steelers in such a mess, the fighting spirit in my bones is about to start, and I want to roll up my sleeves and immediately go on stage to compete with the Kansas Chiefs.

Feeling conflicted.

Bell thought he had no feelings for the Pittsburgh Steelers anymore. From last year to this year, through repeated torture and tossing, no matter how much friendship he had, his friendship had been worn away; but he didn't expect that he still felt uncomfortable.

Can't laugh.

Bell knows Tomlin, though.

Tomlin has been able to serve as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers for twelve years without ever wavering. It is generally believed that it is because he brought the Pittsburgh Steelers a Super Bowl championship; but Bell knows that is not the case.

Tomlin is tough enough, smart enough, and tough enough. He can handle the relationship with the team owner and the team manager. Similarly, on the court, he can also be patient and look for opportunities.

In such a difficult situation, Tomlin's tenacity and calmness are definitely unknown factors that cannot be ignored. What's more, are the Pittsburgh Steelers really that vulnerable?

Apparently not.

In the second quarter of the game, Tomlin's counterattack came.
