Chapter 763: 762 Can’t Stop
“Jesus Christ!”
“This is just too thrilling, too spectacular. The Kansas City Chiefs Defense, struggling and wavering all season, has found its rhythm at the crucial moment of the divisional game and exploded with such energy.”
“Eric Murray, who replaced the injured Eric Berry as the starting safety last season, just couldn’t find his rhythm and had mediocre performance.”
“But, wow.”
“But! In this divisional game, Murray seemed to feed off the atmosphere of the field. At the pivotal moment, he anticipated the play, jumping a step ahead and swatting the football away before Hilton could get it, completely snuffing out the Indianapolis Colts’ desperate attempt to counterattack.”
“Strikeout.”
“With Fuller up front and Murray in the back, the Colts’ leading wide receiver, Hilton, made two fatal errors in this offensive drive. He missed the opportunity in one-on-one situations. So, was it a case of Hilton underperforming, or did the Chiefs’ oft-maligned secondary rise to the occasion?”
“Of course, let’s not forget Jones. Wow, Chris Jones was just a beast, and the energy he brought to the defense in this drive completely electrified Arrowhead Stadium.”
Blah blah blah, the praise went on and on.
This scene was definitely unexpected, a real surprise; yet, it happened just like that.
The stage was set, the spotlight ready, and all eyes of the world were on Luck, waiting for the “The Chosen One” to put on a spectacular show. However, Jones, Fuller, Murray, and other defensive players stormed the stage, causing chaos, and completely stole the spotlight.
In the end, they simply flipped the stage, forcing the much-anticipated protagonist to leave in disarray!
After more than six minutes of back-and-forth, the Indianapolis Colts had pushed past midfield. Luck still proved himself, with the goal zone within reach. Richie believed in Luck’s long pass ability and prepared to sneak an attack on the end zone, but was countered by the Kansas City Chiefs Defense.
A smashing blow!
Murray: Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh!
Murray stood before the end zone, roaring like the Hulk transforming, instantly igniting the entire Arrowhead Stadium as it burst out in a deafening chant—
“Defense!”
“Defense!”
The world was pulsating, and one could even clearly feel the slight trembling beneath their feet. From inside out, everyone felt the conviction and momentum of Arrowhead Stadium at the perfect start of this divisional game.
However, this was just the beginning.
“Oh oh oh, touchdown! It’s a touchdown! From Kelsey!”
“Kelsey catches a thirteen-yard pass for a touchdown. The Kansas City Chiefs Offense remains unstoppable, and this time it’s the tight end who scores.”
…
“Wait, wait, what’s this strategy?”
“A fake pass and a real run, but it’s not Running Back Levi with the ball. It’s… Hill?”
“Is this the ‘Chiefs Special’?”
“The Indianapolis Colts Defense completely failed to anticipate this move. Their attention was so fixed on Mahomes and Levi that they were utterly confused when they saw Hill burst out.”
“Hill. Hill!”

“Such nimble footsteps, dodging a tackle!”
“Dodges a second tackle!”
“Hill’s light steps maximized his speed advantage. Kansas City Chiefs’ top running back Levi might feel a bit threatened now, Hill’s rushing was just too pretty.”
“Fifteen yards!”
“Thirty yards!”
“Unstoppable! Galloping ahead! Hill has completely broken away from the encirclement, throwing the Colts Defense into utter disarray!”
“Forty-five yards!”
“Fifty yards!”
“Hill is still going!”
“The Indianapolis Colts defense is powerless to turn the tide.”
“Hill… touchdown…”
“A 63-yard rushing touchdown! This is definitely a scene I did not anticipate!”
“If it were Levi? Okay, no problem, Levi is capable of that; but Hill? I never imagined a wide receiver would also take on the role of a running back one day, let alone steal the spotlight on the playoff stage.”
“A 63-yard rushing touchdown, Hill made it look as easy as drinking water and eating food.”
“Wow, a game on another level.”
“Touchdown! The Kansas City Chiefs score another touchdown, completely demolishing the Indianapolis Colts, utterly dominating the first half of the game.”
“Unbelievable!”
“Five years ago, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Andrew Luck led this team to a ’45:44′ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, a game that was also called the Indianapolis Miracle.”
“It still stands as a playoff classic to this day.”
“Now, the Indianapolis Colts need to perform another miracle to turn the situation around and defeat the American League’s top seed to advance to the next round.”
“The task is daunting.”
The game is a mess.
Strictly speaking, it’s not surprising, because anything is possible in the playoffs, and under the tension and pressure of a single-elimination, any outcome is reasonable, even complete collapses of super-strong teams are not uncommon.
Besides, based on pre-game matchup analysis, the Kansas City Chiefs were widely favored to win, and victory was expected to be the rightful and anticipated result.
However, the completely one-sided first half still triggered an outcry.
“7:28”.
The reigning champions are far ahead and are completely crushing their opponents on both offense and defense.
The Indianapolis Colts only briefly shone at the beginning, and then their spark was extinguished, plunging into never-ending chaos.
A one-sided situation.
Things were very bad—for the Indianapolis Colts, it was much worse than imagined, and they could only see a glimmer of hope by fighting with all their might.
Moreover, the situation could get even worse, as the Indianapolis Colts chose to attack first in the first half, meaning the already far ahead Kansas City Chiefs would start the attack in the second half, with the chance to extend their lead even further.
The situation might slip further into the abyss.
Leonard felt like a piece of dog shit, even worse than garbage.
In the locker room, watching Luck with a calm face, meditating amidst the noisy finger-pointing and blaming, he stood out in his exceptional quietness; for some reason, Leonard read a breath of despair from Luck’s serene face.
Leonard choked up—
Yes, if the defense couldn’t stop the Kansas Chiefs Offense, what use was there for Andrew Luck, even if he were possessed by the god of football?
During the Super Bowl two years ago, the New England Patriots completed an unprecedented comeback to defeat the Atlanta Falcons and clinch the title. After the game, all the praise went to Brady, witnessing the legend of the quarterback’s another comeback myth, but people overlooked one thing—
Throughout the second half, including overtime, the New England Patriots Defense shut out regular season MVP Matt Ryan-led Atlanta Falcons Offense, the offense that scored twenty-eight points in the first half, couldn’t score a single point after the halftime break and couldn’t advance any further.
Before Brady sounded the clarion call for a comeback, the defense stepped forward first, laying the foundation for victory; they were the unsung heroes.
Breathing deeply, Leonard regained his spirit, navigated through the chaos and unrest of the locker room, and approached Luck, patting his quarterback’s shoulder.
“Andy, leave it to me, we’ll lay the foundation for the team’s comeback.”
