Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: Purgatory on Earth
Brady, have you lost your mind?
Maybe.
Brilland was keeping a watchful eye on the scattered New England Patriots wide receivers around him, avoiding being encircled, alert and vigilant.
But then, he saw Brady, eyes red, blindly and frantically charging straight at him, like a bull seeing a red rag.
What’s going on?
Brady? Number twelve for the New England Patriots? Are you sure there’s no mistake?
Brilland didn’t have ti to think, his body instinctively sidestepped, stepping to his right, positioning himself just enough to avoid Brady—
Brady missed.
Yes, just like that, he missed.
And then… there was nothing.
Brady: ??? What just happened?
Brady barely had ti to think as his montum propelled him forward, crashing to the ground in a full body sprawl, like a hungry dog lunging for food.
Brilland: ??? Is that all?
Brilland also wore a puzzled expression, wondering what just happened?
However, he had no ti to worry about Brady, as danger still lurked ahead.
On the sidelines, Belichick remained calm and composed—
No panic, there was still opportunity.
They still had two tiouts left, Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t just kneel to end the ga; they could still rely on the New England Patriots’ Defensive group to force a turnover, and stage the greatest Super Bowl coback in NFL history; they still had a chance to fight.
People often think that New England Patriots’ victories over Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons in the two Super Bowl championships were luck, but to Belichick, victory is the only thing that matters, and those are just the whines and complaints of losers, insignificant.
The reason the New England Patriots can be the New England Patriots is because they have only victory in their eyes, using any ans necessary to achieve it.
Victory… is still possible.
However, everything rested on intercepting Brilland in ti; the clock was the Patriots’ biggest enemy.
“Surround him, surround him!”
Belichick remained unfazed, calmly strategizing even as the stakes mounted.
But, as head coach, Belichick’s control over the situation was ultimately limited.
At the very least, he couldn’t control Brilland.
Brilland was clear-headed. His task was to burn the ga clock, not score a touchdown, so as he maneuvered within the surround, he didn’t persist in charging forward but rather slipped elusively, circling around like a cat playing with a mouse.
Finally, the net tightened around him, bringing Brilland down.
Wow!
The Kansas City Chiefs’ rest area collectively raised their arms in cheer, one by one chanting loudly.
“Brilland!”
“Brilland!”
Chuckling and cheering, the Kansas Chiefs Offense and Special Duty Group stood shoulder to shoulder celebrating loudly, showering Brilland with praise without holding back.
The laughter seed especially jarring.
Because in Gillette Stadium, there was dead silence—not just quiet, but a deathly hush, like purgatory.
Three days ago, here, Foxborough residents were ready to give the Kansas City Chiefs a grand welco gift, welcoming them in a hellish manner.
Three days later, still here, Gillette Stadium indeed beca a hell, but the flas that lit up were not the Kansas City Chiefs but themselves.
Foxborough residents are really having a tough ti.
In the forecast, this was supposed to be a “Goat VS Rookie” offensive battle; however, December in Foxborough turned this into a defensive showcase.
In so monts during the third and fourth quarters, the Offensive group reclaid the spotlight with Li Wei and Brady shining successively; but at the end, it was the Defensive group that rose to the occasion, in true December Foxborough fashion, putting an end to this match—
Ga ti, fifty-seven seconds.
Theoretically speaking, the New England Patriots still had a chance.
However, the Kansas City Chiefs had just obtained possession via interception and the Patriots couldn’t choose a gamble kick, even the chance to gamble was blocked.
The Patriots’ only chance was to recover possession from the Kansas City Chiefs with their league-leading Defensive group before both tiouts were used up.
Otherwise, there was no other possibility.
Difficult. Like ascending to heaven.
Even the theoretical chance was minuscule.
“Last season’s regular season, New England Patriots t Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium, where both sides fought neck and neck all the way to the very end.”
“At that ti, both sides had opportunities under Kansas City Chiefs’ active control, Mahos sent an interception that ruined their advantage.”
“New England Patriots did not waste the opportunity, gladly accepted victory, which is so far their only victory against Kansas City Chiefs.”
“However! At this mont!”
“New England Patriots urgently needed points to snatch a lifeline for this ga, Brady’s pass was intercepted by Brilland, a full year cycle, again facing Kansas City Chiefs, again at Gillette Stadium.”
A torrent of emotion, overflowing with enthusiasm, comntators couldn’t stop their passion from erupting, the boiling blood in the ice-cold Foxborough created a warm haze, and the heroic voice echoed through the air over Gillette Stadium.
“God, this all!”
“In an all-out counterattack by New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs showed their determination, fully retaliating.”
“First, Li Wei led the Offensive group with an unbelievable performance scoring a touchdown in a hard-hitting face-off, pushing Patriots back to the cliff edge; then the Defensive group intercepted Brady’s last attack in the end zone, cleanly ending the match.”
“Wonderful!”
“This… wow, wonderful!”
The brain is always trying to find more magnificent and intense words to describe the scene, but after a pause, it’s still the simple and straightforward words that hit ho.
Apart from wonderful, it’s still wonderful.
The significance of this match is far beyond just a win or loss—
Given all signs before the ga, New England Patriots were indeed the best choice to end Kansas City Chiefs’ undefeated season; simultaneously, looking at the ga’s progress, the Patriots did provide Chiefs with their toughest season test.
However, Chiefs still outperford.
Not just defeating Patriots, but also maintaining a two-possession lead, and responding tily to reclaim control when Patriots launched two waves of counter-attacks and seed to see the dawn of victory.
This performance indeed showcased Kansas City Chiefs’ transformation this season, a complete tamorphosis.
From erging as a sensational dark horse in the 2017 season, they’re now erging as a truly strong team standing atop the league, launching a formidable assault towards an unprecedented three consecutive championships in half a century of NFL history.
