Chapter 1091 Chicken Soup for the Soul
This season, the Kansas City Chiefs offense has once again been a complete surprise.

After the emergence of “Cheating Motion”, the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams became the first to try it, but they soon realized that the success of the Kansas City Chiefs was built on Hill and Levy, and the effectiveness of other teams adopting this tactic would inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, this still did not stop the league from studying this tactic in depth from all aspects.

In just one month, all 32 teams in the league are now using “Cheating Motion”, which has become a new trend.

It all started with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Based on the great success of the previous two seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs are still able to stay ahead of the league and continue to improve before their opponents thoroughly study them inside and out, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

The reason why the Kansas City Chiefs were able to achieve this feat lies in the diversity of Mahomes and Levi. Through the tacit cooperation of the two players and the full use of their respective ability to read and respond to the defense, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive tactics are always one step ahead of their opponents.

The season is almost halfway through, but no defense can confidently say:
“We were able to completely neutralize the Kansas City Chiefs offense.”

However, now, Mahomes’ injury and departure have disrupted the tactical balance.

Not only were the players a little dull, but Reid’s lack of on-the-spot adaptability when arranging tactics was once again exposed.

Don’t forget that in the past three seasons, Reid had twice handed over the power of on-the-spot tactical calls to the offensive coordinator because his on-the-spot tactical arrangements could not keep up with the changes in the game.

This season, Reid’s ease in calling tactics on the spot comes from his confidence. On the one hand, his tactics are diverse and profound, and his arsenal is rich in resources that can be combined at will. On the other hand, Mahomes and Levi have excellent on-the-spot adaptability, and they can make up for Reid’s shortcomings.

Mahomes’ departure broke the balance. Reid was neither panicked nor afraid, but his ability to adjust on the spot was indeed insufficient, and with the changes in the players’ mentality and state, such loopholes were further magnified.

The situation suddenly became serious.

This is the darkest moment of the Kansas City Chiefs’ season.

It’s not just about the outcome of a game, it may even overturn the entire season and completely change the competitive landscape of this year’s Super Bowl.

It is not only difficult, but also severe, chaotic and blind.

What a mess.

Standing opposite the Kansas City Chiefs are the Green Bay Packers led by Rogers.

Although head coach LaFleur lacks experience and seems young, energetic but a little irritable and radical; they have Rogers, who has been polishing the field for nearly ten years, and now is the golden age of quarterbacks——

The perfect combination of experience and age.

With enough wisdom to discover problems and enough strength to solve them, the threat factor is at its peak.

After the Green Bay Packers intercepted Moore, Rodgers immediately followed up with a series of short passes combined with a fast-paced offensive combination to disrupt the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense. Finally, he deceived the entire defense with a sophisticated and realistic fake move, and found running back Aaron Jones with a four-yard short pass to complete the touchdown.

Almost everyone thought that Green Bay Packers’ top wide receiver Adams would step up and seize the opportunity, but Rodgers played the running back Jones card and scored a touchdown in the simplest and most efficient way.

Rogers did not rush into the game, but instead took steady steps to seize opportunities and build up his advantage.

Then, Moore appeared again.

Although Moore calmed down a little with Levi’s pressure and support, Rogers’ touchdown was too fast, which did not give Moore much time to breathe, nor did it give Reid’s coaching staff much time to adjust. Moore, who lacked practical experience in six years, still seemed unfamiliar and slow to react.

Reading the defense, adapting to circumstances, passing the ball, attacking and defending, etc., Moore’s overall reaction speed seemed slow.

Maybe the audience didn’t feel it, just one or two milliseconds; but in the real game, in the ever-changing situation, the difference in Moore’s reaction speed may face a whole new situation, ruining the advantage established by the Kansas City Chiefs in the tactical layout stage. The entire offense of the Kansas City Chiefs was a little messy.

Levi’s performance was still outstanding, helping the Kansas City Chiefs get two first downs, but he was alone and the Kansas City Chiefs ended up being struck out.

It’s Rogers’ time again at Arrowhead Stadium.

In a steady and unhurried attack, Rogers looked free and easy. He even induced the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense to step up and put pressure on them, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the backfield, causing the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense to panic and lose sight of the big picture. Rogers continued to advance by running and passing.

Not only chic, but also casual.

In the end, running back Jamaal Williams ran for a touchdown on a one-yard run, which made all the efforts and persistence of the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense go to waste. In the end, they still failed to stop the Green Bay Packers.

“14:0”.

The first quarter ended with the Green Bay Packers shutting out the Kansas City Chiefs and taking the lead with two touchdowns.

“The score difference is obvious, but not huge. The two ball possession advantages still haven’t completely widened the score. We can’t draw any conclusions about the next game.”

“The real problem is that the entire Kansas City Chiefs’ tandem was a little slow and slow to catch up. They didn’t play what they do best this season. Before the Green Bay Packers’ defense put enough pressure on them, they had already exposed their weaknesses. This is not good news.”

“In addition, the alliance front has just confirmed the news.”

“Patrick Mahomes has left Arrowhead Stadium and gone to the hospital for further examination. It is basically confirmed that he will not return to this game.”

Levi got the news from the live broadcast room and from Coach Burns on the court.

The knee joint is dislocated; but now I am not sure whether the most sensitive, fragile and troublesome ligament is injured. Next I have to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination.

The good news is that there is no swelling in the knee and the condition is temporarily stable.

The bad news is that they may not be able to return to this game and they need to rely on themselves.

Coach Burns could feel the depression and dullness of the team, and all eyes were focused on Levi.

The situation is extremely tricky.

Coach Burns glanced at Levi, “What are you going to do?”

Levi took a deep breath and said, “Break through head-on.”

But he didn’t explain further, and just took a step forward, towards Moore, Kelsey and the others.

What we have in front of us is a problem and a dilemma, which is even more difficult than when Levi himself left the field last time due to suspected concussion. After all, the position of quarterback is slightly different.

So, what to do now?
According to international practice, the next step should be to instill chicken soup for the soul and get people excited.

But Levi knew that this trick worked for young people. It could motivate them a little, make their blood boil and ignite their little universe. However, it didn’t work for veterans like Moore. Their hearts were already covered with a thick layer of dust, and industrial saccharin chemicals like chicken soup for the soul were of no use.

So, what to do?
Surrender?
Haha, daydreaming.
