Dominate the Super Bowl

Pressure, released.

Gunsmoke, pervasive.

Be it the Philadelphia Eagles or the Kansas City Chiefs, both teams were fully in the zone, going head-to-head with a fiery collision that noticeably tensed up the atmosphere.

At one moment, Kelsey had left the field due to an injury, but after an on-field examination by the medic, it was confirmed there was no serious problem and the main tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs was back in the game—it was just a false alarm.

Immediately after, Philadelphia Eagles safety Jenkins was penalized with a yellow flag for a violent hit, but Kansas City Chiefs' third wide receiver Albert Wilson still left the field with a concussion.

The scent of gunpowder was gradually spreading.

Off the field, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs were far from being at each other's throats; to some extent, the players from both teams could be considered friendly.

On the field, however, the atmosphere of the Super Bowl was heating up, with the murderous look in their eyes slowly spiraling out of control, and the number of yellow flags making their appearance started to soar.

Neither side gave an inch, with bayonets meeting in close combat—

The major play was on.

The game was led by the Kansas City Chiefs, who seized the opportunity to turn a crisis into a shake-up of the battle situation, not only causing the rookie kicker to make a mistake but also enduring to the end in the Red Zone collision and securing the touchdown.

However, Pederson was not about to surrender without a fight.

Following that, the Philadelphia Eagles quickly steadied their footing and sent out an unexpected hero—

Corey Clement.

Wait, who?

If you've never heard the name, it's not at all strange, nor is it because the pre-game research wasn't thorough. Clement was someone who seemed to have popped out of nowhere.

This player, a running back, was part of the same rookie class as Li Wei and others, yet he was practically unknown. He went unnoticed during the draft and eventually joined the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted rookie for the practice squad.

All season, Clement barely got any decent playtime. The 5.8-foot-tall (178 cm), 220-pound (100 kg) running back's strength was average, completely unremarkable.

It was precisely because Clement wasn't up to the task that the Philadelphia Eagles traded for running back Ajayi from the Miami Dolphins midway through the season.

From a tactical standpoint, Clement's occasional appearances served to change the rhythm of the Eagles' running game, acting as a metronome, but his playtime was very limited, with his touches for the entire season amounting to less than forty.

Yet, it was this very Clement.

Who played the surprise factor.

Rushing and receiving, he swirled through the defense like a tornado, completely disorganizing the battlefield.

Once with a seven-yard short pass reception, which everyone thought was just an ordinary pass. But no one expected that Clement would enter Lynch's "Beast Mode"—

With a straight arm block and a bullish charge.

He went berserk, unbelievably sprinting fifty-five yards, pushing deep into the Kansas City Chiefs' territory, finally falling exhausted at the eight-yard line in the Red Zone, overturning the battle situation by his own power.

An absolute surprise.

Yet Pederson seemed not at all surprised, with an attitude of having full confidence in his plan. If everything was predetermined, Pederson's preparation for this game was indeed far beyond expectation.

This offensive wave, although the Kansas City Chiefs Defense displayed their strength again and forced the opponents into a third gear touchdown predicament, the Philadelphia Eagles mimicked Reed's tactics. Using Clement as a decoy, they executed a misdirection and finally secured a passing touchdown to retake the lead.

And this time, Elliott did not miss the extra point.

"16:10".

The Philadelphia Eagles, from top to bottom, gathered their courage once more, inspired by the continuous high-energy show from the offensive group, and the defensive group also had their moment of bursting forth with newfound strength.

The Kansas City Chiefs in their next offensive drive continued to exhibit top-notch performance, entangling and pushing forward, impressively moving through half the field and reaching the Eagles' twenty-yard line, seemingly poised to touchdown once again.

But the Philadelphia Eagles said no.

A sack on Smith.

A tackle on Kelsey.

An interception of Li Wei.

Struck out!

Among them, the strategy of the Philadelphia Eagles, using four players to spin a web to intercept Li Wei, was undoubtedly the most exciting and thrilling moment of the first half.

At last!

In defending against the ultimate challenge Li Wei, the Philadelphia Eagles had shown effectiveness, successfully intercepting amidst the Kansas City Chiefs' attempt to bite into the score, completing an interception worth its weight in gold.

And then, something even worse happened—

In the process of attempting a 37-yard field goal, Mahomes, responsible for holding the ball, failed to secure the football properly, leading to a lopsided center of gravity and causing Buck's field goal to veer ridiculously to the right of the goalposts.

The Kansas City Chiefs Special Duty Group also made a fatal mistake.

Mahomes, feeling guilty and frustrated, held his helmet and could not bring himself to turn and look at his teammates; Buck, too, stood with his hands on his hips and a somber expression, unmoved for a long time.

But then.

This time, Smith stepped up, taking on the captain's responsibilities, quickly stabilizing morale and refocusing the Kansas City Chiefs' attention—

"Remember the story Li Wei told? The fat lady hasn't started singing yet."

"We should concentrate on the present, we should firmly grasp every second from now on; what has happened has already happened, but the excitement continues."

"So, no one should miss the fat lady's performance because they were distracted."

Concentration, commitment, certainty.

This Smith, showing a different side for the first time, slightly stirred the somewhat bewildered Kansas City Chiefs back into focus.

Then—

Interception, on the field.

Foles, feeling immense pressure in the pocket, kept trying to pass the ball, a short eight-yard pass to Wide Receiver Jeffery, completing the connection.

However, feeling the pressure, Foles's pass spun irregularly, not a standard spiral, causing the football to bounce off Jeffery's forearm. Jeffery failed to control the football, and the alert Revis swooped in to snatch the ball away, completing the first turnover of the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not waste the opportunity. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

A classic fake run-real pass tactic, with Li Wei blocking for Kelsey, connecting successfully with Smith and scoring another touchdown.

This time, the highly-focused Mahomes and Buck made no mistakes.

"16:17".

The Kansas City Chiefs took the lead for the second time in the game, steadying their footing once again.

Then, after the two-minute warning break in the first half, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense pushed the Philadelphia Eagles' Offensive group to the edge of the cliff.

Despite the Philadelphia Eagles' running back Corey Clement again playing the role of a surprise element with his elusive running routes and acting like a Wide Receiver, under the predicament of third gear and eight yards, he astonishingly brought the Philadelphia Eagles back into the Red Zone.

Without a doubt, Clement was the most shining dark horse of the first half.

But, in the critical moment, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense held its ground, achieving the most important and difficult strikeout of the first half—

Fourth gear and one yard.

With eight seconds left in the first half, the Philadelphia Eagles were standing at the edge of the end zone, facing fourth gear and one yard, and Pederson made a choice that made the entire stadium gasp.

The Philadelphia Eagles didn't choose a field goal, but to go for it on fourth down.

Burning their bridges, an all-or-nothing gamble.

The atmosphere became entirely tense at this moment.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Offensive group and the Kansas City Chiefs Defense returned to the field, lined up against each other, their eyes burning with intense, intertwining determination.

After the strikeout, the Kansas City Chiefs still needed to complete one more down of defense, the last one.
