Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 412 411 Press home one's advantage

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally opted for a pass on third and twelve yards.

However.

Throughout the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars completed only twenty-one touchdown passes, ranking twenty-second in the league; they also gave away thirteen interceptions, tied for eighth in the league.

Clearly, Bortles was not the superhero to lead the offensive group out of the abyss.

Just before the playoffs kicked off, ESPN wrote a professional article, "Seven Quarterbacks in the League Still Available Who Could Replace Bortles"—without a doubt, they did not approve of Bortles' work with the Jacksonville Jaguars and believed that if the Jacksonville Jaguars wanted to go further in the playoffs, replacing Bortles was imperative.@@@@

However, the focus here isn't on that; the focus is on Ramsey, who liked the article.

And, it made the news, known throughout the league.

This time was the same.

Bortles, taking continuous step backs with no fake moves or read defense, prematurely exposed his passing target and offensive strategy:

The only wide receiver in the team who in this postseason's games, had receiving yards exceeding sixty yards in both matches, Allen Hurns.

Perhaps the only surprise was that the Jacksonville Jaguars did not choose a short pass but instead boldly risked a fifteen-yard intermediate pass, ready to score in one go.

Unfortunately, for Revis, there were no secrets to uncover.

Step by step, Revis had locked onto Hurns from the start.

Despite his age and injuries, which left him not as physically fit or competitive as before, he found a second wind on the playoff stage and in front of Ramsey, seemed to regain his vigor.

"Island King," referred to Revis's control and dominance within his coverage area.

From start to finish, Revis relied solely on his experience to perfectly block the position, overpowering Hurns to jump first right after Bortles threw the pass.

The entire positioning, timing, and suppression were all perfect.

Then—

Interception.

Revis intercepted the football right above Hurns' head.

Strolling as if in a leisurely garden, utterly relaxed.

In the last wildcard game, Revis initially showcased his excellent competitive state, and in this conference final, he further retrieved his control as a cornerback.

All season, Hunter had been full of spirit, his gaze locked on Li Wei, eyeing each opportunity with eagerness, never missing a chance—

The starting position, his goal.

Therefore, every time Hunter entered the game, he was full of energy.

This time was no exception.

On one hand, the Jacksonville Jaguars tried to overturn the game, changing the course of the match.

On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs tried to take advantage of their victory aiming to widen the score difference.

The intensity of the confrontation was imaginable.

Relying on Revis' interception, the Kansas City Chiefs launched an attack directly from the opponent's forty-yard line, needing only to secure one first down to enter field goal range, but the key was, the Kansas City Chiefs wanted to maximize the advantage of the interception, aiming for a touchdown; the Jacksonville Jaguars hoped to minimize the consequences of the interception, hitting a triple out on the spot.

The intensity, off the charts.

This was also why Reed deployed Hunter.

First and ten, the Kansas City Chiefs played a double identity passing trick, using Kelsey and Hill to attract attention, Smith made a short pass to Hunter, relying on the two receivers to clear the way, Hunter advanced the push.

Nine yards!

Right from the start, the Kansas City Chiefs relied on their dazzling passing tactics to strike the opponent unexpectedly, even denying the cornerbacks a chance to close in on the receivers, instead maximizing their passing advantage to its fullest potential, catching the Jacksonville Jaguars somewhat unprepared.

But the Jacksonville Jaguars soon showed their intensity.

On second and one, the home team's defensive group executed a five-man rush that tore through the pocket protection, nearly sacking Smith at the crucial moment. Smith lightly tossed the football to Hunter, who attempted to forcefully carry the ball forward but was embraced by the defensive end Campbell, with no chance, he went straight to the ground.

Loss of two yards.

The Jacksonville Jaguars layered, successive waves of defense once again demonstrated its power, securing their lines firmly.

So, was Li Wei ready to enter the game?

No, Reed was still looking at the bigger picture, not rashly putting all his eggs in one basket. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

On one hand, kicker Buck began warming up in preparation.

On the other hand, Smith handed the football off to Hunter to run again.

This time, Hunter did not disappoint the expectations!
