Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1179 - 1178: Disrupting the Rhythm

Bosa: Here we go.

In an instant, Bosa’s pupils contracted, noticing Li Wei’s movement direction, directly facing him, preparing for a frontal breakthrough. This made Bosa’s entire body tense, fearlessly charging forward for a head-on collision.

One step, two steps.

Bosa was going all out, and he could see that Li Wei was too. Let them face off head-to-head and fight to the finish.

The power deep within the dantian fully erupted.

Three steps.

Impact.

The collision of solid, heavy forces erupted with astonishing energy.

Bosa completely gave up the idea of tackling and prepared to use sheer force to topple Li Wei—

In the face of absolute power, Li Wei was nothing. Speed and agility were Li Wei’s advantages, and choosing a frontal breakthrough had no chance at all.

But wait, didn’t Li Wei know this?

A thought flashed quickly through Bosa’s mind but didn’t have time to ferment. The power of the head-on collision already made the whole world shake.

Li Wei, directly knocked down.

But, what about the football?

Bosa himself was also tottering, and only now noticed that Li Wei’s embrace didn’t hold the football. Was it a fumble?

Out of the corner of his eye, Bosa caught sight of a red shadow slipping past Li Wei like a shadow clone, swirling around Li Wei and Bosa, turning into a wisp of smoke.

Bosa instinctively pounced to the left, but caught nothing. Only then did he realize it was a shadow; he was a step too late.

His heart chilled—

Tricked.

Mahomes bent and hunched to hide the football he held.

Li Wei, fully committed to running, firmly caught the defense’s attention, while the recently slumping Mahomes was utterly ignored.

But Mahomes didn’t mind.

He stayed focused, fulfilling the quarterback’s duties amid chaos and confrontation:

Read the defense.

The Los Angeles Lightning front chose a seven-man pass rush, gambling everything on intensive pressure; yet the defensive backfield’s four players shadowed step by step, closely sticking to Kansas City Chiefs’ passing targets.

Clearly, they didn’t want a repeat of the tragedy of leaving Kelsey unguarded.

For a while, no passing windows; meanwhile, Li Wei and Bosa’s frontal confrontation couldn’t buy much time, plus Ingram’s menacing presence. Mahomes made a snap decision, completing a judgment and making a choice.

Following step by step behind Li Wei, until Li Wei and Bosa collided, Mahomes sidestepped, his light footsteps crossing the line of scrimmage.

"Run, Patrick! Run!"

Mahomes was fully immersed, complete focus poured into his feet pushing against the ground, using his entire mind and body to feel the impact’s rebound force, light as a feather at full speed.

Push off, run.

Force, sprint.

Everything was just that simple, the wind whistling around his eardrums.

Then, the Los Angeles Lightning defenders finally reacted to the encirclement.

Without hesitation, Mahomes slid to the ground, ending the advance.

Ten yards, another first down.

"Beautiful! Mahomes!"

"Kansas City Chiefs bring another surprise!"

"In the face of being completely suppressed by the opponent’s defensive frontline, Kansas City Chiefs simply exploited the opponent’s strategy, luring the enemy with a false advance to the East, reversing balance with a read option offense executed with variations twice in a row."

"This time it was a collaboration between Li Wei and Mahomes, with one clearing the way, Mahomes seizing the opportunity to secure another first down."

"The situation has turned around."

The Los Angeles Lightning defense realized the crisis at once, they absolutely couldn’t allow the opponent to gain momentum, or it would render all their previous efforts in vain.

Kansas Chiefs’ offense finally reclaimed a bit of rhythm, but they were not satisfied with just that, this was merely the beginning.

Back and forth, maneuvering and deploying, the atmosphere was obviously tightening.

First and ten, Mahomes quickly short-passed to Hardman for a completion, but the Los Angeles Lightning defense tightened its net, completing a tackle immediately.

Second and seven, Mahomes screened a short pass to Li Wei, who caught it behind the line, advancing six yards with Kelsey’s clearing, before encountering a three-man encirclement.

Third and one, Damien came on to push for a yard, breaking through head-on with a strong stance to continue the offense, securing a first down, entering the opponent’s half at the forty-yard line.

The intensity of the contest kept escalating!

So, what exactly was Reed planning?

With numerous unpredictable tactical changes, the Chiefs continued to disrupt the rhythm, forcing the Los Angeles Lightning defensive frontline’s pressure attempts to repeatedly fail, breaking the opponent’s will in the fierce clash, reversing the situation.

Simply put, the pressure from the Los Angeles Lightning’s defensive frontline objectively existed, even if Kansas City’s Chiefs understood the opponent’s tactics, it remained troublesome; but the Los Angeles Lightning’s defensive frontline couldn’t maintain endless pressure, they would become fatigued and hit a low. Reed was now forcing them to change tactics, to disrupt the game’s rhythm.

After that, a ground run by Damien, a read option offense short pass by Mahomes to Watkins, a screen short pass to Kelsey—

Third and three conversion successful, Kansas City Chiefs continued to advance in the Los Angeles Lightning’s half.

Alternating speed, combining passes and runs, Kansas City Chiefs hadn’t even used the "Cheating Motion," yet the offensive group was already revitalized, continuing the advance.

Meanwhile, Mahomes was slowly adjusting, adapting to the intensity of the game.

The Los Angeles Lightning defense realized their window was rapidly closing, and they must go all out without reservation.

The atmosphere subtly changed.

But who would have thought the Kansas City Chiefs were keenly aware of the tense situation—

Li Wei moved before the snap, "Cheating Motion" was deployed!

Bosa was itching to go, slightly anxious, barely able to control himself—

Behind him, outside linebacker Davis was already keeping pace with Li Wei.

Near the red zone, Los Angeles Lightning deliberately maintained a zone defense posture, seemingly wary of Mahomes launching a long pass direct to the end zone; but in fact, still playing man-to-man, they prepared to deploy multiple pass rushes again, as long as they could sack Mahomes once, they would not only halt the Chiefs’ momentum but intimidate Mahomes as well.

Todays Mahomes had already thrown one interception, maybe the defensive group could create another surprise?

However, amidst truths and untruths, the Los Angeles Lightning’s defensive tactics were still exposed, no wonder the entire league grit their teeth at the Kansas City Chiefs’ "Cheating Motion."

Reed must be credited with keeping a cool head.

But now, Los Angeles Lightning were in too deep to turn back, their only option was to execute their tactics to the extreme.

"Attack."

Mahomes announced the snap.

Bosa immediately stepped up, moving swiftly, with the determination of a tiger on the prowl, instantly breaking through the offensive line’s clearing, wasting no time cutting into the pocket where Mahomes was now in sight.

Bosa kept advancing, not letting his guard down.

But once again, he was a step too slow.

Mahomes stepped back, paused, raised his hand to pass, releasing the ball in just over a second, not giving Bosa any chance as he completed the throw.

Effortlessly, gracefully, with flair—

Who was the target of the pass?
