Chapter 681 Who is the Sacrifice
“The opportunity is in our hands. We will win.”
"I'm confident and we're going to win, it's that simple."
Lamar Jackson gathered his teammates, looked around with firm eyes, and spoke impassionedly, with passion and blood boiling.
Immediately, Edwards understood the deep meaning of Jackson’s words——
Obviously, this is a reference to Levi's famous quote from the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year.
"Hehe." Edwards laughed, "We are all confident, and we will win. Hey, Lamar, we are not satisfied with just a free kick."
Edwards paused, "Hail Mary?"
Jackson looked serious and did not join in the joke, but he shook his head, "A Hail Mary is an attempt in desperate situations. I will end the game before the desperate situation comes."
He disdains to be with Levi, and it is like this every time. He faces desperate situations again and again, and is stuck in the quagmire again and again. Maybe the reversal of the Jedi is wonderful for neutral fans, but to be honest, if he can crush and sweep, who would want to What about a decisive victory?
Anyway, he doesn’t need it.
Forty-three seconds, three timeouts, the Baltimore Ravens were able to kill the game, and Jackson wouldn't let the team get into trouble, and he refused to learn from Levi.
snort.
Jackson snorted, "Count to three. One. Two. Three!"
"Crow crow crow!"
All the offensive players completed their support in unison, turned around and came on the stage with their heads held high, they were ready——
Killing the game their way at Arrowhead Stadium and taking a win away from the No. 1 seed in the American League.
Jackson believes that the Baltimore Ravens will enter the playoffs. Not only that, the Baltimore Ravens will also become the dark horse of this year's Super Bowl. Like the Kansas Chiefs last season, they will surprise everyone with their unparalleled performance. He will prove that, What Levi can do, Lamar Jackson can do too.
And, he will do better.
Jackson let out a long breath and worked hard for two seasons, waiting for this moment.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The audience at Arrowhead Stadium, without exception, all stood up, high-fiving and shouting in unison, pushing the atmosphere to the extreme.
The overwhelming pressure rolled down.
"attack!"
Jackson's voice was crumbling and precarious in the violent wind and rain, as if it might be torn into countless pieces at any time.
However, Jackson was very determined. With a turn, the football was handed to Edwards——
Hehe, surprise or no surprise, surprise or no surprise.
At the critical moment with forty-three seconds left in the game, the Baltimore Ravens actually chose to attack on the ground at the 25-yard line in their own half.
Hubble was simply too bold and crazy. Even if he had three timeouts, this tactical choice still completely exceeded expectations. He is worthy of being a hero.
Facts also proved that Hubble caught Reed by surprise, and the entire Kansas Chiefs defensive team retreated to concentrate on pass defense.
The frontcourt was almost cleared, including linebackers and cornerbacks, all retreating to open up space and give Edwards ample and wide space to advance on the ground.
It reminds me of the final moments of the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season; the difference is that at that time, the Kansas City Chiefs had to score a touchdown, but the Baltimore Ravens only needed a free kick to kill the game.
Hubble doesn't care what Jackson's personal thoughts are. What he needs is a victory, no matter what way.
Therefore, Hubble unexpectedly chose to attack on the ground, accurately and sharply catching the dislocation of the Kansas Chiefs' defensive tactics.
Edwards was delighted: Yes.
Ahead, there is an open area with no obstructions.
Edwards secretly reminded himself, don't be greedy, just get the first attack from ten yards to avoid wasting time and pave the way for the follow-up. Although he very much hopes to become the team's superhero, now is not the opportunity.
Ten yards is fine.
Ten yards is enough.
Diagonally ahead, a red figure appeared, and it was Chris Jones. Edwards did not panic. Not only did he not panic, but he also showed a ferocious smile——
Just right, add a sacrifice.
"Bus" Edwards has never faced an opponent in a one-on-one match in the league this year. Basically, the collision was a car accident, and he was not the one injured anyway.
Edwards did not slow down or adjust his posture. He accelerated and sprinted with all his strength. The speed was not fast, but his weight and strength were unreserved. He faced the opponent head-on in the posture of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and slammed into it.
Wait, where are the people?
The collision that was supposed to happen did not happen. This made Edwards stunned. However, his body was heavy and his brain could not keep up. For a while, he had no idea what was happening.
Chris Jones knows that if he fights Edwards one-on-one, he will never come back. If he wants to stop Edwards, he must use his brain.
Bend your knees, bend your waist, and lower your center of gravity.
Jones squatted completely low and did not choose to use his shoulders to complete the impact. Instead, he aimed at Edwards' waist, abdomen and hips, and used his shoulders to connect head-on.
The collision was slightly slower than expected, but without waiting long, what should have happened still happened.
Jones stepped forward without reservation, releasing his power, pushing his shoulders back and forth, and shocking energy burst out from deep in his Dantian, instantly breaking his balance——
Not the balance of the horizontal line, but the balance of the vertical axis.
Edwards held his breath, unable to exert any force at all. The next second he realized that the whole world was turned upside down, and he was immediately dizzy.
"God!"
"Over-the-shoulder interception!"
"It's unbelievable that Jones of the Kansas Chiefs actually completed a solo interception and successfully blocked Edwards with just his own strength."
"Is this a sumo wrestling match?"
Ho ho ho!
Ahhh!
Arrowhead Stadium erupted instantly, and the entire stadium shook.
Jones stood up straight and threw Edwards completely away, completely ignoring the dazed guy who fell to the ground.
Snap. Snap.
Clap your hands, effortless.
On the edge of the court, Hubble was stunned with a breath in his chest.
This... what is this?
Looking at Edwards, who was dizzy and confused, with a question mark clearly written on his face, "Who am I and where am I?", Hubble's doubts were destined to be unanswered; but now Hubble was annoyed because he had no time -
pause!
The Baltimore Ravens must use a timeout without advancing even one yard, otherwise the passage of game time will be unbearable for them.
So, does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?
Hubble took a deep breath, stayed calm, and quickly started commanding.
Now, the Baltimore Ravens have no choice but to pass the ball. The pressure and hope all fall on Jackson's shoulders.
The quality of this gem picked up with the 32nd pick in the first round is a test. Hubble needs to be bolder.
Ten yards in second gear.
All the attention of the audience was swarming towards Jackson. Even a half-hearted spectator like Karen knew that the Baltimore Ravens must pass the ball now.
"Defense!"
Although the support at Arrowhead Stadium was overwhelming, the air was still condensed. Jackson stared straight ahead, ambition stirring in his chest——
It's a good time, it's a moment like this.
"attack!"
Kick-off call, explode.
