Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1102 - 1101 Single Point Breakthrough

From the data, it seems the Green Bay Packers are still relying on Rodgers to win games.

But LaFleur is not worried, because he knows they are on the right track.

However, it takes time to integrate strategies, and it also takes time for Rodgers to break away from McCarthy’s influence and enter a new system, so they need to be patient and adjust slowly.

As long as the team is given enough time, the modern sideline attack system can shine brilliantly at the Green Bay Packers, and LaFleur is confident in himself.

Because the Green Bay Packers possess the ultimate weapon that Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers and McVay’s Los Angeles Rams never had:

An elite quarterback.

So, how should the defensive group counter this tactic?

The answer is not that simple.

The defensive group cannot expect to take down just one player and thereby crush the entire tactical system. When other teams focus all their attention on Rodgers and believe that sacking Rodgers can break LaFleur’s tactics, they fall into the trap of the modern sideline attack system.

Firstly, when Rodgers senses pressure, he can adjust the strategy at any moment.

Secondly, even if Rodgers does not adjust the tactics, his personal ability is enough to turn the tide.

In the first quarter, the Green Bay Packers completely suppressed the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, do not forget, at the beginning of the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs faced McVay’s Los Angeles Rams, they made Goff and Gurley suffer, and Reid has some insights into how to deal with the modern sideline attack system——

The key actually does not lie with the quarterback, but with the running back.

Of course, everyone knows that the core soul of the Green Bay Packers is Rodgers, which is an objective fact. This season, the passing-to-rushing ratio of the Green Bay Packers also proves this, passing remains their strongest weapon; but the key to disrupting LaFleur’s offensive tactics lies on the ground.

The key to the strategy is to suppress and even cut off the Green Bay Packers’ ground offense, with the focus not on forcing Rodgers back into the passing attack mode, but on having Rodgers return to the isolated heroics mode——

That is, the McCarthy mode.

By severing the ground offense, the modern sideline attack system’s variety, mobility, and flexibility fall into trouble, losing its diversity.

On the surface, it seems there is no difference.

In essence, it changes the balance of the offensive and defensive confrontation.

At the start of the Super Bowl, Gurley’s ground offense kept getting stopped repeatedly, falling into the predicament where Goff had to rely on passing to turn the situation, leaving McVay’s variations entirely unplayable.

In fact, looking at the regular season data, the Los Angeles Rams also have a passing ratio far higher than their rushing ratio. However, the Kansas City Chiefs gained the initiative through defense by extinguishing the ground offense, dominating the match.

In front of Rodgers, it’s somewhat tricky, but the strategy remains the same.

Moreover, Rodgers has yet to completely change his playing habits, which might become an opening for the Kansas City Chiefs to break the balance.

With a seamless attack by Li Wei, the Kansas City Chiefs, from the coaching team to the defensive group, have stabilized completely, and when they take the field, their condition is rejuvenated.

At the Green Bay Packers’ twenty-five-yard line, both sides have completed their formations.

Jones takes a deep breath, turns to look at the linebackers Higgins and Regland behind him, exchanges a glance, and directly gets into state without saying more.

Bend over, brace, lean forward.

Jones assumes a position ready for a fierce breakout, eyes locked on Rodgers.

Quickly getting into state.

Rodgers immediately feels the incoming pressure, as if like a cobra locking onto its prey, the entire forward momentum is evident.

So, is this a smoke bomb?

Originally, the core of LaFleur’s offensive system was to compress the time of gathering merchants, to raise the offensive rhythm as much as possible, compressing the setup time of the defensive group, and although it’s not a non-gather merchant offense, it firmly grasps the rhythm in the hands of the offensive group, further amplifying the offensive group’s active advantage.

However, Rodgers noticed the change in the game’s atmosphere and immediately realized the Kansas City Chiefs Defense’s morale was high due to Li Wei’s recent touchdown, and with seasoned experience, he slowed the rhythm, intentionally keeping the defense tense, bit by bit exhausting their concentration.

Simultaneously, Rodgers altered the tactics, testing the defensive group’s reactions with probing plays.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense stayed unmoved, maintaining their formation.

A glint of understanding flashed in Rodgers’ eyes, he then announced the start of the play.

"Attack!"

Without hesitation, Rodgers held the ball and moved laterally with running back Aaron Jones, purposely leaving the pocket and exposing himself.

At the same time, he makes a handoff motion with his right hand as though preparing to hand the football to Aaron Jones but doesn’t hand it over immediately, maintaining a holding position and scanning for defensive movements.

Indeed, defensive end Chris Jones rushes in with fierce intent in his eyes.

With an outward deflection, using the reactive force from pushing the offensive tackle to drag himself, Chris Jones charges towards Rodgers unstoppably.

Blitz!

Rodgers sees not only Chris Jones, but the following linebackers also complete their positional swaps, step by step advancing, attempting a blitz.

This seems to be a six-man rush! The Kansas City Chiefs are going all in.

Rodgers remains exceptionally calm. His fake actions rank among the best in the league’s quarterbacks, he retracts his right hand, seemingly ready to execute a quick short pass, yet feints, handing the football into Aaron Jones’ hands instead.

And, Rodgers postures as if preparing to throw, continuing to advance, to distract the defense.

Right from the start, Rodgers intended to use himself as bait but handed the football to Aaron Jones for a ground advance, employing the simplest eastward feint to achieve advancement, fully utilizing Kansas City Chiefs’ hot-blooded impulse.

Approaching, collision.

Just when it seems Rodgers is about to collide with Chris Jones, unexpectedly and unbelievably, Chris Jones without glancing at Rodgers strides right past his sight.

Rodgers is stunned.

The next second, linebacker Regland is already rushing towards Rodgers.

Rodgers immediately realizes: He’s been tricked!

Chris Jones prominently displays a blitz posture; combined with the linebackers’ crossover swaps, it indeed showcased a blitz quarterback stance, but behind the smoke bomb was a small trick of positioning swaps——

The blitz remained a blitz, but the intent wasn’t drinking.

Rodgers naturally thought the sack target was him, but his cleverness misled him.

Disastrous!

"Jones VS Jones".

Matchup, forming.

Aaron Jones had no idea he was the real target.

Absorbed in his work, analyzing how to break through, finally getting an opportunity from the quarterback, ready to showcase his skills——

Believe it or not, this was only his third ground carry in today’s game.

Despite already having been targeted as a receiver three times and scoring a touchdown, he never forgot his primary duty.

His steps ready to launch, a figure suddenly shoots out from a diagonal, directly attacking.

Aaron Jones bewildered: What’s going on?
