Chapter 1341 Close at hand
Dazzling, overwhelming, ever-changing, light and agile.

This is often used to describe the offensive tactics of the Kansas City Chiefs; however, no one would have thought that the Tennessee Titans would be the ones to launch this trick attack.

Near the midfield line, on first down and ten yards, the defense managed to sneakily complete its move during a timeout, catching the Kansas City Chiefs off guard.

Vrabel really brought out his best player and treated the last moments of the first half as a life-and-death battle before the end of the game. This was a battle of momentum!

And, Vrabel succeeded again. Who could have thought that Derrick Henry would copy and paste Levi’s performance and play the role of a passer?

After Corey Davis received the ball, he fought his way out of the chaos.

This substitute player who had served as a rotation wide receiver for a long time was even laid off in the middle of the season. Then, due to many injuries to the Tennessee Titans, he was signed back a month and a half later. His main task was to add depth to the bench. This almost inconspicuous little character was now under the spotlight.

Pushing the ground, running wildly, and moving through.

Davis moved lightly through the chaotic backfield, crossed the 40-yard line and then the 30-yard line, and after shaking off the impact of linebacker Ray Grande, the red zone was already within reach.

Seeing that the passing connection between Henry and Davis was about to complete the buzzer-beater in the final moments of the first half, safety Mathieu rushed out from the side.

At this moment, Mathieu can clearly feel the blood of the Kansas City Chiefs boiling and burning. Although this is only his first season at Arrowhead Stadium, the atmosphere in the locker room, the style of play, and the habits of training are changing his stereotype of the professional league, and he is feeling the purity and simplicity of football that he just fell in love with.

I just enjoy the feeling of running, competing and playing on the field.

Ten years ago, before entering the NCAA, he was also a teenager who simply loved football; but in the past three years, he has been caught in a cycle of layoffs, job hunting, interviews, adapting to new players, and more layoffs. He has long forgotten that joy and has evolved into a mediocre middle-aged man.

Until now, he still remembers when he arrived at the training base on the first day of the offseason this year. He thought he was the first to arrive, but he saw Hardman; then they discovered Levi who had already been warming up. It was an ordinary scene that is still vivid in his mind.

Focused, persistent, and resolute, Mathieu’s attention is completely concentrated.

Grapple. Ram.

Fall down.

Clean, direct, and immediate, the burst of power and speed instantly cut off Davis’s advance. The two men rolled into a ball and slid out on the grass. Even if you were just watching, you could clearly feel the pain of the collision of power, and all the bones in your body were protesting.

“Matiu, wow, Mathieu stopped Davis!”

“At the critical moment, Kansas City Chiefs’ last line of defense, safety Mathieu, completed a tackle and intercepted the Tennessee Titans’ trick attack.”

“Wow, this is unbelievable!”

“Vrabel’s tactical strategy was almost enough to score a touchdown. The unexpected move overturned everyone’s expectations and completely disrupted the Kansas City Chiefs’ judgment.”

“Although they didn’t score a touchdown, the Tennessee Titans’ offense has now reached the 18-yard line, not only entering the free kick area, but also aiming directly for a touchdown. Vrabel pushed the ups and downs of the first half to a climax, and the excitement of this game was beyond imagination.”

“Wonderful!”

“It’s really wonderful!”

“In the 2017 wild card game, the Kansas City Chiefs challenged the Tennessee Titans away. The starting quarterback at the time, Mariota, completed an incredible quarterback-to-quarterback touchdown. Mariota passed the ball, and the football was intercepted and returned to Mariota’s arms. Finally, Mariota entered the end zone to complete the touchdown.”

“That accident caused the young Kansas City Chiefs to completely lose their way and they almost lost the game until the very last moment.”

“This divisional game in front of me has once again awakened my memory.”

“This time, Vrabel relied on a dazzling trick attack to completely overturn the offensive and defensive confrontation and reawaken the momentum of the Tennessee Titans.”

“Next, whether the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense can stand firm, quickly make adjustments, and stop the Tennessee Titans’ touchdown attempt may determine the outcome of the game.”

Vrabel was a little disappointed that he didn’t get there in one go, which was obviously a pity. But Vrabel also knew that there was no time to regret. They had to hurry up and continue to advance before the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense came to their senses.

The opportunity is right before your eyes.

Therefore, Vrabel did not use a timeout and quickly gave instructions to Tannehill. The Tennessee Titans, who have always been good at positional warfare, rarely sped up the pace and lined up again like a storm.

There is no breathing time, no room for adjustment.

Subconsciously, Mathieu looked towards the side of the court. He didn’t know why, but he found Levi in ​​the crowd.

All the other players of the Kansas City Chiefs stood up, except Levi.

Levi was sitting on a bench, looking relaxed, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, chatting with Kelsey. There was even a hint of smile on his face, and his eyes kept looking towards the court.

It was not that he was distracted. Obviously, Levi was still paying close attention to the game, but he was not nervous or anxious. Instead, he trusted the defensive team 100%.

The calmness and leisurely stroll in the garden can instantly calm down all the troubled thoughts.

Then, Mathieu withdrew his gaze and saw that Jones, Fowler, Regland, Breland and others had also withdrew their gazes from Levi. They exchanged glances with each other, without words, and raised the corners of their mouths tacitly. They were ready to continue fighting again.

nervous?

No, because they are not fighting alone.

“attack!”

Tannehill didn’t give the ball any time to catch its breath and immediately announced the start of the game.

This time, there was no trick, Tannehill simply turned around and handed the football to Henry.

Return to ground attack.

However, just as Henry was running like a tank, Tannehill stood up straight and began to observe the layout of the offensive and defensive confrontation.

Wait, fake run and real pass?
One second. Two seconds.

Tannehill did not hesitate or delay, raised his right hand and passed the ball diagonally to the right.

The football drew a light reddish-brown parabola and flew toward the dead corner of the end zone. A white and blue figure flashed into the position like a ghost.

That was AJ Brown, one of the candidates for the best offensive rookie of the season.

Everything happened too fast.

Safety Sorensen moved closer as soon as possible, but found that he started too late and it was too close to the end zone, so he didn’t have time to get in the way of the ball.

How to do?
Sorensen simply adjusted his aim, jumped in the direction of the football, and forced a fight with AJ Brown for the ball.

The football fell into AJ Brown’s hands; but Sorensen still did not give up. He intervened between AJ Brown’s arms with his right hand, stretched his body to the extreme with all his strength, and poked it lightly.

The football got loose, fell, hit AJ Brown’s helmet, changed direction, and flew backwards.

Mathieu stood at the back, staring at the football flying towards him in amazement, and subconsciously reached out to grab it.

what happened?
