Chapter 1147: 1146 fully blossom
“41:35”.
The visiting team ahead, the ho team trailing.
The Kansas City Chiefs struggled to take away a victory on the road, grinding out a tough win for the third consecutive week without Mahos.
The ga unexpectedly evolved into a high-scoring battle.
The Tennessee Titans Offense neither ambitious nor aggressive, perfectly aligned with the requirents of the Shanahan offensive system, executing a brilliant offense.
Tannehill perford excellently.
19 completions on 16 passes, 181 yards, one passing touchdown, no interceptions.
He had no obsession with the “quarterback saves the world” ntality, instead, he returned to the team’s lineup as a team mber, fulfilling his quarterback duties effectively at the right ti and place, coordinating the offense skillfully; his impressive stats proved the value of a blue-collar worker.
anwhile, Henry shone throughout the ga.
23 carries, 188 yards, two rushing touchdowns.
Averaging 8.17 yards per carry, an astonishing performance that left the audience spellbound; after three seasons of refinent, Henry finally blossod spectacularly, undoubtedly becoming one of the league’s elite running backs.
With his individual ability alone, Henry was enough to give everyone a headache.
It was precisely because of this that the Tennessee Titans’ offense played fiercely throughout the ga, staying tightly in the ga amidst the cheering support of the ho fans—
A sticky toffee.
Like all other teams facing the Tennessee Titans, the Kansas City Chiefs failed to shake them off and were dragged into the Titans’ rhythm.
It was evident that Moore, as a quarterback, had a noticeable ceiling; after two gas, his tricks were seen through by Vrabel, with few ans to break free from suppression and constraint during the ga, he fell into the muddy intense atmosphere of offensive and defensive confrontations, with so of his defensive reads and tactical choices being questionable.
However, the real growth of the Kansas City Chiefs offense this season was in:
Team collaboration.
Not just Mahos and Li Wei, but also the tactical cooperation among Kelsey, Hill, Watkins, and Hardman gradually showed variety and depth. Even when Mahos changed to Moore, reducing the team’s changes, Moore was still able to open the situation with “Cheating Motion” to make progress.
This was the league’s first comprehensive appreciation of the ever-changing “Cheating Motion”.
Dazzling and overwhelming.
Why “Cheating Motion” was given such a prefix was because it was like a cheat tool; even if the Kansas City Chiefs disclosed their formations and different combinations early on, even if the opposing defensive group was aware of the Chiefs’ tactic, it was still inescapable:
Because Kansas City Chiefs players had nurous potential collaborations.
Look at a set of data to know—
Hill, nine tis as a passing target, two tis rushing the ground.
Kelsey, seven tis as a passing target, three tis rushing the ground.
Hardman, three tis as a passing target.
Watkins, five tis as a passing target, once rushing the ground.
Blossoming across the board, total cooperation; Kansas City Chiefs refused to put all eggs in one basket, using a comprehensive layout to open up their offense.
Li Wei was no exception.
Li Wei, four tis as a passing target, seventeen tis rushing the ground.
However, it was precisely the dazzling and unforeseen offensive layout that led the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive rhythm into the Tennessee Titans’ defense, unable to unleash explosive force but slowly and steadily advancing.
In this way, both sides remained in deadlock and stalemate until the fourth quarter.
With two minutes and seven seconds left in the ga, the Tennessee Titans took the lead with a field goal, “34:35”, Vrabel made a bold decision—
Gambling kick.
Because Vrabel knew, they needed to avoid the Kansas City Chiefs Offense coming onto the field as much as possible, the Tennessee Titans gambled with the risk-taking kick.
Unfortunately, it ended in failure.
The Kansas City Chiefs seized the ball and earned an offensive opportunity near the midfield on the forty-three-yard line; at this point, Reed demonstrated his decisiveness.
After two consecutive false passes and runs, facing a third and two situation, the choice was unexpectedly to pull off a trick play, like a magician’s sleight of hand hidden in his sleeve.
Li Wei and Hill’s relay run executed the “Cheating Motion”, drawing the Tennessee Titans Defense’s attention, first focusing on Li Wei, then on Hill, disrupting the entire defensive frontline layout.
Only then did they realize in a flash that Moore unexpectedly chose not to pass but to run himself—
Read Option Offense.
Combining Read Option Offense with Cheating Motion, a tactic occasionally used when Mahos was the quarterback, now executed by Moore, caught the Tennessee Titans Defense off guard, and the defensive players’ judgnt, reactions, and starts beca noticeably disjointed.
The entire defensive layout was disrupted.
Moore posed ready to make a rush attempt to convert the third and two, but then ca a third twist.
When Moore moved forward to the line of scrimmage, Li Wei fell back for a handoff, silently handing the football between them as Moore moved forward as a decoy, firmly attracting the scattered attention of the Tennessee Titans, while Li Wei returned to the pocket to search for a passing target.
From Li Wei to Hill, then to Moore, and finally back to Li Wei, seemingly chaotic but actually fluid and coherent, the tactical transformation was completed three tis in just two or three seconds; seemingly full of risks but actually grounded in practice matches and familiar coordination, dispersing any so-called danger.
Then, Li Wei secured a clean pocket, without facing any rush, pressure, or interference, even having ample ti to adjust and wait.
The Tennessee Titans, caught off guard at every step, panicked, instinctively searching for Hardman and Kelsey; from Li Wei’s field of view:
These two receivers had already created openings, one responsible for the deep zone, and the other for the front-field, giving Li Wei various choices.
Amidst the disarray in the backfield, Li Wei steadied himself, posed to throw to his right—
Kick off, step forward, rotate, swing his arm.
Next step, release.
But Li Wei abruptly halted before the final step, effortlessly continuing to rotate, turning fifteen degrees into sixty, his body deviated from the path, finally facing the left side, accomplishing the final throwing action amid the brief cover of a feint.
This was the fourth twist.
The Tennessee Titans Defense: … Damn.
At this mont, the dizzy and disoriented Tennessee Titans Defense couldn’t keep pace with the rhythm, even if they saw Li Wei make the throw, they couldn’t determine his target, helplessly watching as the football soared overhead, tracing a beautiful arc.
Ten yards!
Fifteen yards!
Twenty yards!
Judging from the arc, Li Wei didn’t get greedy, nor did he venture for a super long pass; this throw was still within Li Wei’s controlling ability.
A twenty-five-yard pass, light and accurate, flew toward the left sideline.
A streak of red appeared at the landing point; surprisingly, it was—
Hill.
Wait a minute, Hill?
Was it really Hill? How could it be Hill? Wasn’t Hill surrounded by the Tennessee Titans Defense players because of the “Cheating Motion”?
