Chapter 414 Four Gears and One Code

One defense, Jackson.

Second defense, Persian Rusni.

Levi was mentally prepared for this scene, because the middle lane was the hardest hit area, and it was truly thrilling at every step; but Levi was not omniscient and omnipotent, and he did not have eyes at the back of his head. When he was about to engage in a fight with Persian Rusni, a slight interfering force came from behind him.

Not heavy, but off balance.

Judging from the position, it should be another defensive tackle, Abby Jones.

But now there is no time to look behind, the crisis in front of us is the key.

Although the force behind him was not strong, it was sudden and caught Levi off guard. He was unable to protect himself and his body center of gravity fell forward. He tried his best to control himself with the strength of his waist and abdomen, but was unable to stop himself from falling forward.

The figure of Bosrusni enlarged in his pupils.

Since I can’t dodge, I’ll fight head-on.

Levi simply gave up control, threw the weight of his entire body forward, and even pushed the ground continuously, rushing towards Bosrusni like a derailed train.

Bosrusni was caught off guard.

The linebacker was preparing to tackle, and then he saw Levi walking into the trap. His joy lasted less than half a second before it turned into horror.

Pounce, bump, and push.

A series of actions came without pause or interval and hit Bosrusni on the head.

Persian Rusni lost his balance and stumbled backwards; Levi used his helmet to support Persian Rusni’s shoulders and continued to rush forward.

Push off the ground and exert force.

These two simplest actions pushed Persian Rusni forward.

at last!

Bosrusni could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground, rolling backwards. He saw that Levi was about to break free and continue to move forward.

Levi could already see the two safeties galloping towards him, but as soon as he fell to the ground, Bosrusni grabbed Levi’s calf tightly and fell to the ground holding Levi in ​​a way that they both died.

This time, Levi couldn’t get away.

despite this!

Levi continued to advance 8 yards, turning the Kansas City Chiefs’ second-and-15-yard predicament into a third-and-7-yard situation, once again demonstrating the strength of the running back.

Levi looked at Persian with bright eyes. He was almost about to complete the breakthrough and advance a few more yards before the safeties formed a siege, but Persian’s decisive performance eliminated this possibility.

The intensity is indeed rising steadily.

With a smile on his face, Levi was full of fighting spirit. He reached out to help Persian Rusni stand up, patted his shoulder, and without saying anything more, turned around and continued to line up.

Three gears and seven numbers.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that both teams used all their trump cards without reservation. Facing the powerful Kansas City Chiefs, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense fought back without giving in, and the game finally became exciting.

really!

On third down and seven yards, Smith made a quick short pass to find Hill, trying to catch his opponent off guard; however, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ secondary defense was highly focused, and cornerback Boyer completed the tackle in the first time, giving Hill no chance to continue advancing.

Four gears and one code.

at last!

The Jacksonville Jaguars suppressed the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense with an absolutely tough and iron-blooded attitude, showing themselves as the favorite to win the championship.

There was cheering at the Everlasting Bank Center.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs had no need to feel regretful, as they had already reached the front of the red zone. Buck’s free kick was almost not difficult, and as long as they could successfully score it, they could still continue to expand the score.

However, Reed watched the court quietly.

Eleven yards from the front of the end zone.

Would you give up such an opportunity?
Be conservative and choose a free kick to widen the score gap to ten points; be adventurous and aggressive, that is… “Strong play in fourth gear.”

“It’s unbelievable that Reed chose to force fourth down.”

“The Kansas City Chiefs were quickly lining up, and the Jacksonville Jaguars were totally unprepared for this. Smith was ready to catch his opponent off guard.”

“kick off!”

“Smith, Smith is stepping back, this is actually a passing attack!”

Four gears and one code.

The Kansas City Chiefs took a rare risk and did not take a safe free kick, because Reid realized that this was a battle of morale.

Compared with the scores, what the two sides are competing for is momentum and fighting spirit.

It is true that the Kansas City Chiefs can steadily build a score advantage, but this also means that the Jacksonville Jaguars defense can gain a foothold and the subsequent games will return to a stalemate.

So, it’s better to give it a try.

Even if they fail, they still maintain the score advantage, and the game will continue to be stalemate, with the outcome unknown.

If successful, the Kansas City Chiefs will be able to further break the existing situation.

Reed decided to take a risk——

The catch was an accident.

They hastily chose to force fourth gear, lined up in a hurry, and kicked off immediately, giving the Jacksonville Jaguars defense no time to deploy tactics.

With the word “fast”, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive team set the rhythm.

But, passing the ball?
Is it wise to challenge the Jacksonville Jaguars’ league-best passing defense with the Kansas City Chiefs’ somewhat inconsistent passing offense this season?

The Jacksonville Jaguars immediately entered a familiar pattern.

Fast, so what? Their basic tactics are ingrained in their bones.

In the first step, the two cornerbacks Boyer and Ramsey both got in position, staring at Kelce and Hill intently. The outside linebacker Telvin on the strong side also quickly approached Kelce, ready to help Ramsey at any time.

The second step is to apply pressure from the front line. The Jacksonville Jaguars are not only well-known as the sack village, but their ability to continuously maintain pressure on the defensive front line is also top-notch in the league. Even if there are only four people rushing the pass, it should not be underestimated.

When Smith announced the opening kick, the Jacksonville Jaguars began to defend reflexively. This is also an important reason why strong defensive teams can often gain advantages in the playoffs and are stable enough to face any accidents.

Then, they noticed Smith’s passing steps and the linebackers and safeties immediately scattered.

This is the front of the red zone, and an eleven-yard pass can directly target the end zone; therefore, when the defense does not rush the quarterback with all its strength, the first reaction is to cut off all receiving points and put the quarterback in trouble.

In a back-and-forth, the Kansas City Chiefs played for the unexpected, while the Jacksonville Jaguars played for stability. In a flash, the strength of the fourth-down defense was fully demonstrated, so that no one had time to think about one question:
Fourth down and one yard, why did Reid choose to pass the ball?

At this point, with the defense once again showing off its “sack village” style and the offensive line’s pocket protection in jeopardy, Smith turned around:

A flat throw.

The football fell into Levi’s arms.

Fake fax run.

It turns out that this is the real tactic and the real intention behind the Kansas City Chiefs’ choice to quickly line up and kick off.

And, this is still not all——

Tactics within tactics, Reid’s choice to force a fourth-down, first-down play was definitely not a blind risk.

The moment Levi caught the ball, all the Kansas City Chiefs players moved.

The offensive line pushed the defensive line to the left, and Kelce on the right also pushed Ramsey to the right sideline, so that the space on the right side was wide open.

This is the real secret.
