Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1091 - 1090 Chicken Soup for the Soul
Chapter 1091: 1090 Chicken Soup for the Soul
This season, the Kansas Chiefs Offense once again brings a complete surprise.
After "Cheating Motion" emerged, the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams were the first to try it, but they quickly realized that the Chiefs’ success was built on Hill and Li Wei, and other teams would see diminished effectiveness with this strategy.
However, this hasn’t stopped the League from thoroughly researching this tactic.
In just one month, all thirty-two teams in the League are now using "Cheating Motion," forming a new trend.
All of this originates from the Kansas Chiefs.
Building on their huge success in the past two seasons, the Kansas Chiefs continue to stay ahead in the League, constantly progressing and improving before opponents can thoroughly study them, which is undoubtedly challenging.
The Kansas Chiefs achieve this feat thanks to the versatility of Mahomes and Li Wei. Their seamless collaboration leverages their individual abilities to read and adapt to defenses, keeping Chiefs’ offensive strategies a step ahead of opponents.
As the season reaches its midpoint, still no Defensive group can confidently say:
"We can completely suppress the Kansas Chiefs’ offense."
But now, Mahomes’ injury has disrupted the tactical balance.
Not only is the team somewhat subdued, but Reed’s weaknesses in tactical adaptability during game situations have been exposed again.
Don’t forget, in the past three seasons, Reed has twice had to hand over tactical calling rights during games to the Offensive Coordinator due to tactical plans not keeping up with game changes.
This season, Reed’s ease in calling tactics during games stems from confidence, bolstered by diverse strategies, rich resources in the arsenal, and the ability to freely mix and match. Also, Mahomes and Li Wei’s outstanding adaptability during games compensate for Reed’s weaknesses.
Mahomes’ exit has disrupted the balance. Reed is neither panicked nor afraid, but his ability to make adjustments in the moment is indeed lacking. In the players’ changing mindset and condition, these weaknesses are further magnified.
The situation has suddenly become dire—
This is the Kansas Chiefs’ darkest moment of the season.
It’s not just a matter of winning or losing a game; it could even overturn the direction of the entire season and fundamentally change this year’s Super Bowl competition dynamics.
Not only difficult, but also severe, chaotic, blind.
A tangled mess.
Facing the Kansas Chiefs is Rodgers leading the Green Bay Packers.
Although Head Coach Lafleur lacks experience, seeming young, enthusiastic, but slightly impulsive and aggressive; they have Rodgers, who has refined his skills on the field for nearly a decade, now in the quarterback’s golden period—
The perfect blend of experience and age.
He has enough wisdom to identify problems and the skill to solve them, making the threat factor peak.
After the Packers intercepted Moore, Rodgers immediately followed with a series of fast-paced short passes, disrupting the Kansas Chiefs Defense’s pace, ultimately fooling the entire Defensive group with a meticulous fake, finding running back Aaron Jones for a touchdown.
Almost everyone thought top wide receiver Adams would step up and seize the moment, yet Rodgers played the running back Jones card, securing the touchdown in the simplest and most efficient way.
Rodgers didn’t rush, but steadily grasped the opportunity, building an advantage.
Then, Moore took the stage again.
Although slightly more composed under Li Wei’s support, Rodgers’ quick touchdown pace left Moore little time to breathe, and Reed’s coaching staff little time to adjust. Lacking real combat experience for six years, Moore still appeared awkward and slow to react.
Reading Defense, adapting to changes, throwing passes, offense-defense confrontations, etc., Moore’s overall reaction speed seemed sluggish.
Perhaps the audience doesn’t notice much, just milliseconds here and there; but in real competitive situations, where the situation is constantly changing, Moore’s reaction speed variance might face a whole new situation, jeopardizing the tactical advantage built by the Kansas Chiefs.
The Kansas Chiefs’ entire offense appeared somewhat chaotic.
Li Wei still performed excellently, helping the Kansas Chiefs secure two first downs, but he couldn’t carry the team alone. The Kansas Chiefs ended up with three and out.
Arrowhead Stadium was once again Rogers’ performance time.
A steady yet composed offensive wave, Rodgers appeared elegant and relaxed, even tempting the Kansas City Chiefs Defense to pressure fully, always looking for a chance to attack the backfield, causing the Chiefs Defense to panic and lose focus, with Rodgers running and passing, steadily progressing.
Not only elegant, but also free.
Finally, running back Jamaal Williams completed a one-yard rush touchdown, nullifying all efforts and persistence of the Kansas City Chiefs Defense, ultimately failing to stop the Green Bay Packers.
"14:0."
All time in the first quarter depleted, Green Bay Packers shut out the Kansas Chiefs, leading comfortably with two touchdowns advantage, seizing the advantage.
"The score gap is obvious, but not huge. A two possession lead hasn’t fully opened the gap; the upcoming game can’t conclude yet."
"The real problem is the Kansas Chiefs’ connections are somewhat sluggish, failing to keep up with the pace. They haven’t shown what they are best at this season. They’ve exposed their weakness before the Green Bay Packers Defense applied enough pressure, which is not good news."
"Additionally, news has just been confirmed from the League front line."
"Patrick Mahomes has left Arrowhead Stadium, heading for further examination in the hospital. It’s basically confirmed that he won’t return for the game."
Upon receiving the news in the live broadcast room, Li Wei also received the same information from Coach Burns on the sideline—
Knee joint dislocation; but it’s uncertain if the most sensitive, vulnerable, troublesome ligaments are affected, further imaging at the hospital is necessary.
Good news is the knee isn’t swollen at present, conditions temporarily stable.
Bad news is he may not return for this game, and they need to rely on themselves.
Coach Burns can feel the team’s oppression and dullness, with bustling eyes all focused on Li Wei.
The situation is particularly tricky.
Coach Burns glanced at Li Wei, "What are you going to do?"
Li Wei took a deep breath, "Breakthrough head-on."
Yet without further explanation, directly stepping forward, heading towards Moore, Kelsey—
In front is a dilemma, a predicament, even more challenging than Li Wei’s last suspected concussion exit, for the position of quarterback is ultimately somewhat different.
So, what should be done now?
According to international conventions, next would be instilling chicken soup for the soul, forcibly motivating with passion.
But Li Wei knows, for the young, this trick works, slightly inspiring them, making their blood boil, igniting their small universe; however, it’s ineffective for veterans like Moore, their soul already covered by a thick layer of dust, chicken soup like industrial saccharin chemical products won’t work.
So, what to do?
Surrender?
Ha, daydreaming.
