Chapter 413: Strength Upgrade
“Wow!”

“As expected of the Kansas City Chiefs, who rank first in ground offense this season, facing a third-down, third-yarder, they did not shy away but broke through head-on.”

“Hunter, actually chose the middle route!”

“Relying on the opening of the offensive line, Hunter forcibly gave up three yards from the middle, and broke through the Jacksonville Jaguars’ ground defense with an absolutely tough and resolute attitude. This time the home team’s human wave tactics failed.”

“The reason is that the horse is wavering.”

“Marou couldn’t be sure whether the Kansas City Chiefs would choose to run or pass the ball. The third-down, third-yard play was neither long nor short. The Kansas City Chiefs had many options, and Marou had to consider all of them, which affected the execution of the play.”

“From this one detail, we can see that the Jacksonville Jaguars are indeed feeling tremendous pressure, because the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense is opening up the situation step by step.”

“Now, both teams are at their strongest and will clash without giving up an inch. It depends on who can hold on to the end.”

On first down and ten yards, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive front line finally showed its power and formed an effective collision, causing Smith’s pass to be inaccurate and fail to connect successfully.

On second down and with 10 yards to go, Smith made a short pass. After Kelce caught the ball, he challenged Ramsey. The two were completely entangled and Kelce barely advanced six yards.

On the third down and fourth down, the Kansas City Chiefs faked a run, using a fake-to-real tactic to disrupt the opponent’s deployment. Hunter advanced with the ball, but was tackled by two linebackers. He was about to fall to the ground, but Hunter gritted his teeth and moved forward a little, completing a four-yard advance with great difficulty.

However, the distance cannot be judged by the naked eye.

The referee even took out a measuring tool and measured the advancing distance on the spot. It was finally confirmed that Hunter was about to fall on the line where the third gear conversion was completed. Amidst the protests and boos at the Everbank Center, the Kansas City Chiefs got the first attack again.

Difficult, stalemate and thrilling.

The intensity of the game reached a new level, but the Kansas City Chiefs still went against the current and came to the front 20 yards of the end zone, step by step.

Followed by.

Linebacker Telvin keenly saw through the Kansas City Chiefs’ fake run and real pass tactics and rushed into the pocket first; the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line was completely focused on the defensive end Campbell and defensive tackle Jackson trying to break through, so that another defensive end Naku easily cut into the pocket and completed the flanking with Telvin on the left and right.

Smith tried to dodge Telvin’s collision, but failed to escape Naku’s grasp, was tackled, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Loss of five yards.

“Roar!”

Naku also roared, and celebrated by bumping chests with Campbell and Jackson.

“Capture and Kill Village” finally showed its power.

When the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense applies pressure, it’s easy to create an advantage with dazzling tactical coordination, which has been proven by different teams throughout the season.

In a slightly unfavorable predicament, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive front line still stood up, with an effective hit and a sack, directly knocking back the Kansas City Chiefs’ attempt to continue their rise.

“Hunter’s weakness is that he is still a little unfamiliar with breaking blocks.”

“This time, Hunter failed to stop Telvin Smith’s step, resulting in his quarterback being sacked; of course, even if Hunter completed the break, it would not necessarily change the situation. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ pass rushing performance was indeed excellent, but Hunter needed to stay focused.”

“Hunter’s focus is all on offense, trying to prove his worth by advancing yards; but one of the charms of football is that every position and every link can show its value.”

“Oh, Reed sent in Levi.”

“It seems that the Kansas City Chiefs realize that the closer to the end zone, the more intense the defense becomes, and they need a player who can intimidate the opponent.”

“When Levi is on the court, even if he is just a bait, he always plays his best role and no one can ignore him.”

“Next, second and 15 yards, let’s see how the Kansas City Chiefs choose their tactics.”

Pass the ball? Or run the ball?
Levi, what role do you play?
Even the fans at the Evergreen Bank Center focused all their attention on Levi, not to mention the players who were facing Levi on the court?
The answer is – running the ball.

Defensive end Campbell was delighted, running the ball, it was indeed running the ball.

Campbell’s first reaction was to rush forward unreasonably in a curve to the outside, completely ignoring his opponent, pressing his body weight on the opponent’s right shoulder, and using the opponent as a steel pipe, circling clockwise.

Such a simple move, but with high technical difficulty, Campbell completely suppressed his opponent and cut into the pocket before he could even blink.

In the chaos and confusion, Campbell was momentarily distracted:
Wait, where’s Levi? Didn’t Levi break through to the outside? Why can’t I see him?

Indeed, after Levi took the football from Smith, he took two steps sideways to the right, but immediately realized that his opponent had seen through his route.

The defensive intensity has increased instead of decreased.

Not only Campbell, but you can also see linebacker Telvin and cornerback Ramsey both taking steps forward. It is clear at a glance that the Jacksonville Jaguars are defending Levi with the highest treatment.

If the Kansas City Chiefs chose to fake a run and then pass the ball, they would have the advantage now; but the key point is that this time it was indeed a running tactic.

How to do?
Between forcing in and outwitting, Levi chose the latter.

After all, the current situation is different from the previous one. This time the other party is well prepared.

He paused, braked with his right leg, and then pushed his body back into the pocket.

For a brief second, Levi straightened his back and scanned and observed. If there was a target for the pass, he wouldn’t mind shocking the world –

Tomlinson’s training template comes with a passing option.

Unfortunately, no.

Because there was no communication during training, Kelce and Hill were helping to break the ball or distract attention, and no one expected that Levi might pass the ball.

Regret.

But Levi did not hesitate. He quickly scanned and read it and started walking.

Middle road.

It is too late to move to the left now, and we might fall into another encirclement. But it is different in the middle. The heavy troops in the middle are scattered on both sides, and there is a short window before they react and return.

Push off the ground, step forward, and rush forward.

Passing Smith, Levi plunged into the meat grinder of the two forwards.

However, it is not completely airtight, there is a gap in the middle.

Levi turned sideways, stood on tiptoes, and walked lightly across the crowded area, and then he saw defensive tackle Jackson was the first to react.

Turn, move, intercept.

Just as Jackson was about to grab Levi, Levi dodged like a butterfly, with his waist and abdomen moving backwards, barely avoiding Jackson’s right hand, and stood on tiptoes and moved sideways with crab steps, leaving Jackson’s hideous and stunned face behind.

however.

Before I could catch my breath——

boom!
Middle linebacker Boslusny accurately tackled Levi.

So, this wave of ground advancement is over?
