Chapter 791 Struggling
The curse from two years ago is happening again?
At that time, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans by 30 points in the wild card round, and then lost in a fierce battle to the New England Patriots in the divisional round.
This year, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts by 30 points in the divisional round, and then trailed the New England Patriots "14-0" in the conference finals.
Perhaps, the curse exerts its power? The possibility of a Hail Mary comeback from a 21-point halftime deficit like last year's divisional round and a cursed interception by the Kansas City Chiefs?
So, is the curse three years ago more powerful, or the luck of escaping from death last season?
So, are the Kansas Chiefs a pseudo-strong team that has been in trouble time and time again, and is tired of watching the drama of desperate comebacks? When will the drama of strong confrontation begin? This happens every time they meet a truly strong team!
Romo shook his head slightly and expressed a different view from the perspective of a quarterback.
"No, it's different."
"Last season, Brady played perfectly in the first half and completely dominated the game. He tried to prove himself, and mobilized his fighting spirit and state to the extreme; but he exerted his strength too early, and his follow-up in the second half was weak, and he suffered a reversal."
“Honestly, Kansas City was a little bit of a fluke with that win.”
"But today, the whole atmosphere is different. In fact, both teams have performed abnormally so far, which is somewhat similar to the just-concluded National League finals. They are too close to each other in terms of strength. The preparations and arrangements before the game are very careful. The formation was strong, but both opponents were restrained. Coupled with the weather, it became the real protagonist in the first half, which led to the current situation. "
"The game was ugly, even bad."
"The New England Patriots' lead relies on experience and foundation. This is the gap between a truly strong team and a strong team's backup. It is also the gap that the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to make up this season. The excitement of the game is far from what the score shows. In that way, the performance of the two sides is very, very close, and a turning point that subverts the game can happen at any time.”
"There is no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs may be the team least willing to lag behind at the beginning. For neutral fans, a desperate reversal is the only way to get excited; but for those involved, reversals push themselves into a desperate situation and then catch up again. This is It’s too difficult and it’s not possible every time.”
"More than anyone, the Kansas Chiefs least want to face such a situation; not to mention, today's bad weather conditions have brought more uncertainties, and now the balance of victory is tilting towards the New England Patriots."
"Although the New England Patriots' current lead is not as big as last year's divisional round, the entire situation, situation, and situation are more favorable to the New England Patriots. Belichick and Brady played very calmly."
"This may be the most difficult game the Kansas City Chiefs have faced as a young team."
Calm and objective, Romo immediately grasped the key points——
The heart curled up severely.
Romo has always favored the Kansas City Chiefs because he likes the spirit displayed by this young team and awakens his fighting spirit and passion.
After today, Romo likes the Kansas Chiefs even more. In them, Romo sees the dream that he has always dreamed of but has never been able to realize.
At this point, Romo knew that as a commentator he should remain neutral, but his heart tilted uncontrollably toward the Kansas City Chiefs.
More than ever, Romo hopes the Kansas City Chiefs can turn things around.
However.
Difficult, difficult to reach the sky.
oh.
The whole audience exclaimed in annoyance, holding their heads and not believing their eyes——
Kelsey, Kelsey, whom the Kansas Chiefs trust the most, actually has "butter hands".
On the second gear and seven yards, Mahomes created an opportunity through a fake run and a real pass. He quickly took a shot and found Kelsey to complete the connection.
In a terrible situation in the first half, Mahomes' poor pass success rate finally saw a glimmer of light. As a result, Kelsey had already completed the ball, but failed to control it and dropped the ball.
"Butter hands".
Pass incomplete.
Kelsey was annoyed and depressed, hugging her helmet tightly and holding her breath.
Levi stepped forward and patted Kelsey on the shoulder to express comfort:
It’s raining hard and your hands are slippery, so mistakes are inevitable.
Originally, the cold weather caused the leather to harden in rugby, making it more difficult to control; now it's slippery due to rain, and like a loach, Mahomes' bullet pass is even more difficult to control.
Mahomes also stepped forward, "Sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't control the power."
But Kelsey also knows that because it is difficult to control, the parabola of the rainbow pass is prone to deviation, so Mahomes chose bullet passing and increased strength in an attempt to increase the stability of the football flight - not Mahomes's wrong.
It turned out to be his own fault: he was impatient.
Before he could fully control the football, he tried to turn around and continue to advance, so that the butter hand dropped the ball.
Kelsey waved her hand, "No, my bad."
Seeing that Kelsey and Mahomes were about to continue to comfort him, Levi half-joked, "Okay, okay, it's your fault. Can we continue? Seven yards on third gear."
Even in difficult circumstances, Levi still did not lose his positive attitude.
Just like Anne.
Taking a deep breath, Mahomes and Kelce both perked up.
Seven yards on third down, the situation is still difficult.
Rain, cold wind, low temperature.
This weather is worse than Buffalo, it's hard to imagine this is Kansas City.
However, this is reality.
The Kansas City Chiefs quickly lined up and prepared to continue the attack.
Generally speaking, in bad weather, the passing attack may encounter obstacles, and the team should choose a ground attack to open up the situation. This is what the New England Patriots and Kansas Chiefs have done so far.
But now faced with the third-and-seven-yard dilemma, and with generally low offensive efficiency on the ground, the possibility of the Kansas Chiefs risking a pass is not small -
Regardless of success or failure, always give it a try.
If the quarterback is still Smith, Reid may be a little more conservative; now the quarterback is Mahomes; Reid is much bolder in critical moments.
So, run the ball, or pass the ball?
Especially when Levi is present and Damien takes a break. Is this a signal?
“Attack!”
Mahomes calls the kickoff.
With a turn, Mahomes handed the football to Levi on the side.
Running the ball?
No, immediately after, Mahomes retracted his right hand, quickly stepped back, raised his chin and scanned the entire field, looking for a passing target.
Fake running and real passing!
In an instant, the New England Patriots defensive players were on full alert. There were still thirty seconds left before the end of the first half. If Mahomes stole a Hail Mary at this time——
Not only were the Kansas Chiefs able to recover the score, they were also able to gain momentum.
Absolutely not!
Immediately, the New England Patriots' defensive team became busy, and they were always alert deep down, wary of the Kansas Chief's pass.
To be precise, Mahomes chose to pass the ball. This answer is not surprising.
However!
At this moment, Mahomes actually turned around again. After a fake move, he lightly tossed the football, fell into Levi's arms, and transformed again.
Fake fax runs!
