Chapter 1104: Strikeout
Judging from the positioning, there is still no change in the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense. This wave of defense has made it clear that they are improving their condition and intensity.

This is also the result of the advancement of modern defensive tactics. The defensive team is getting better and better at hiding its defensive strategies, and the quarterback often finds it difficult to see through them at a glance. It is for this reason that offensive coaches are constantly exploring new tactical strategies.

The modern outside offensive zone system led by Shanahan and the “Cheating Motion” that emerged from the Kansas City Chiefs this season are all like this.

At this moment, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive position did not reveal much information. Rogers immediately realized that he still had to focus on himself and not be led by the defensive team.

Focus. Focus!
“attack.”

Chris Jones started immediately——

Push off the ground, step forward, impact, and break through!
His speed and strength exploded instantly, and he rushed forward with an absolutely powerful posture, suddenly tearing through the defense, and with a series of powerful kicks on the ground, his body had already pounced towards Rogers.

Rogers was on full alert.

This was the third time in a row that Chris Jones had put pressure on the pass rush, but this time his speed and rhythm were incredibly improved, slightly faster than the previous two times, even if only a little bit, the strong wind and heat wave still made his pores shrink.

This time, not only Rogers, but Aaron Jones also became alert at the first moment.

Rogers stretched out his right hand and reached the football towards Aaron Jones. Seeing that the handover was about to be completed, he took it back without hesitation, stepped forward, and switched to Aaron Jones’s back.

Feint shot.

Rogers was still preparing to pass the ball himself, but third-and-8 was too difficult on the ground.

After pausing and making a 180-degree U-turn, Rogers pulled his body back, not only relying on Aaron Jones to break the ball, but also shifting his center of gravity, getting rid of the danger of being sacked or hit, and gaining space for himself to pass the ball.

Rogers has thought of everything.

However, when he turned around, Chris Jones had appeared on the right side, rushing towards him with a ferocious face, and the strong wind with open arms was about to swallow Rogers.

Rogers: ???

Without time to think, his body instinctively pulled his feet back and then bypassed the tackle. Rogers’ unparalleled athletic talent was fully demonstrated, and he barely missed Chris Jones’ arm.

Chris Jones: Oops.

Chris Jones knew from the beginning that this was a passing attack. In the third-down, eighth-yard situation, Rogers had a 95% chance of passing the ball; especially in the previous two raids, they targeted running back Aaron Jones without exception. When he saw the red jersey for the third time in a row, Rogers’ subconscious mind was prone to a slight tilt.

First and second gears are all preparations, third gear is the real decisive battle.

Chris Jones improved his condition across the board, however, Rogers still showed his unparalleled pocket footwork, which was definitely not inferior to Jackson or Watson’s top athletic talent, and narrowly avoided a sack.

But Chris Jones did not lose focus. He turned around and rushed forward, following Rogers’ footsteps closely.

You chase, I catch up.

Rogers is moving fast, his mind working at high speed—

Run the ball or pass it?
With a quick glance, Rogers noticed linebacker Ray Grande, who was ready to attack in the short pass area, staring at him motionlessly.

Obviously, Ragland was waiting for Rogers to run with the ball himself.

Pass the ball!

Pause, turn, retreat.

Almost like an animal instinct, Rogers took a step back while turning and changing direction, and it was this step that made Rogers miss Chris Jones’ position again.

Amid the bloody storm, Rogers looked to the right again and tried to pass the ball.

however–

Damn.

Aaron Jones was stuck in position, this time as a cornerback.

Fowler gave up on defending the tight end and carried out the tactic of defending the running back to the end. In this wave of offensive and defensive confrontation, he focused on defending the running back and completely eliminated Aaron Jones as a chess piece.

How to do?
When he raised his eyes slightly, he saw that the tight ends and wide receivers were all stuck in the mud. The Kansas City Chiefs relied on the positional defense strategy to cover the short pass area tightly, and each player was closely attached to his defensive target.

Adams was trapped in a double-team, and linebacker Higgins and safety Sorensen completely cut off Rogers’ passing vision.

To make matters worse, another safety, Mathieu, was still roaming in the center field, keeping a close eye on Rogers’ every move.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

How did the Kansas City Chiefs defense do it?
In a flash, Rogers had no time to think deeply. He seemed to see a red figure in his blind side again, and he braked suddenly.

However, he never expected that a huge force coming from the side would firmly grab Rogers’ waist, and at the same time, with the overwhelming weight, he fell down hard due to gravity.

Rogers: Grass.

“Capture and kill!”

“God, capture and kill!”

In the VIP room, Ariana jumped up suddenly, her heart stuck in her throat. She looked around anxiously but blankly, trying to find a professional to confirm:

“That’s a sack, right? A sack?”

There was a good-natured laugh in the VIP room, “Yes, that was a sack. Ariana finally understands football.”

Ariana didn’t mind. She raised her arms high and joined the carnival at Arrowhead Stadium, “Catch! Catch!”

“Chris Jones’s relentless pursuit finally paid off!”

“Rodgers…was trapped on all sides, with nowhere to escape. The entire pocket of the Green Bay Packers was completely shattered. The Kansas City Chiefs only used five players to rush the pass, but two players broke into the pocket to complete the encirclement.”

“Finally, Chris Jones made the sack, the first sack of the game!”

“This, this… is incredible!”

“The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a brilliant team performance, completely shutting down the Green Bay Packers’ chances on both the front and back lines.”

“The defending champion is back!”

Ah, ah ah!
Carter had completely lost his mind, roaring wildly at the court like the Hulk, no words, no vocabulary, only roars.

passionate!

The entire Arrowhead Stadium was in a frenzy.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the strength and ability of the Kansas Chiefs.”

“First, the offensive team scored a touchdown with a 72-second run, and then the defensive team used a 67-second run to force the opponent to strike out.”

“In less than five minutes, the defending champions have completely reversed the situation, not only getting back on track to score, but also disrupting the opponent’s rhythm.”

“The unexpected injury of starting quarterback Mahomes disrupted the rhythm, but the defending champions found a way to get back into the game under the leadership of team captain Levi.”

“The suspense of the game is back!”

Passion, roar.

In the live broadcast room, Michaels could not control his voice at all. His cheeks turned red as if he was drunk. He roared, cheered and jumped.

Throughout the game, it was the Kansas City Chiefs players who were the calmest and most composed.

There was no cheering or celebration. Everyone exchanged firm glances, the belief of winning bursting in their eyes, and they were firmly united into a rope.

The counterattack has just begun.
