Dominate the Super Bowl

"Lamar Jackson is nothing special. Stop the exaggerated praise; it's everyone's responsibility."

The haters were there ranting away, not even requiring the Kansas City Chiefs to rebut, as Jackson himself was already restless.

What did you say? I'm nothing special? How about you try it yourself? I'll let you use both hands and one foot, and I could still crush you with ease.

Those haters, sitting in front of their computers with their minds full of nonsense, only have some power when they have a keyboard in hand. Take away their online mask, and they likely don't even have the courage to face a showdown in person.

The plot's twist brings yet another surprise—

"Jackson VS Keyboard Warrior."

The grand spectacle began with a bang, as Jackson was at a loss for words in front of the reporters but remained strong and unyielding in the face of netizens.

A good show is underway, and the onlookers have another treat.

However, these voices were ultimately a minority and couldn't cause a ripple, mainly because of Li Wei's imposing performance at the post-game press conference, subtly subduing the media. They truly realized:

The league's first man is being born right before their eyes.

No matter what, the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens by a large margin stands, as does Li Wei's unmatched performance for the third consecutive week, and the Kansas City Chiefs' 3-0 opening in a seemingly impossible situation. Reporters obediently kept their mouths shut, leaving only the haters to act up.

This proved wise, as the spotlight and admiration quickly returned to the Kansas City Chiefs, and this time in a professional, deep, all-encompassing focus—without exception from across the league.

The Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens game was the Thursday Night game, the first of the third week of the regular season, and the subsequent games had not yet started, drawing attention from all thirty teams in the league.

The reason being, the reigning champions had finally pulled out their secret weapon from their pocket.

Firstly, the Read Option Offense.

Originally, this was nothing novel, as the Read Option Offense had been in the professional league for five years, a tactic already thoroughly researched inside and out. The defensive group could easily handle it, so there was no worry.

Precisely because of this, Jackson spent the offseason honing his passing skills. He understood that, after the running quarterback craze that briefly swept the league, quarterbacks would ultimately need to return to traditional pocket passing as the best way to utilize their power.

Sometimes tradition means outdated, and people should make changes to keep up with the times.

Sometimes tradition means classic, honed and tested through the ages.

Quarterbacks belong to the latter.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs' Read Option Offense was slightly different, because of Mahomes' long pass ability, and because of Li Wei's ground advancement ability, the partnership of Mahomes and Li Wei made the Read Option Offense infinitely varied.

When facing other running quarterbacks' Read Option Offense, it only requires one lineman to closely watch the quarterback, which is why top linemen have shone brightly in recent seasons.

But facing the Kansas City Chiefs, it required closely guarding both Mahomes and Li Wei, and also adapting to the ever-changing "Chiefs Special."

Last season, Belichick and his New England Patriots were always worrying that Mahomes would play this tactic, but Reed did not integrate it into the tactical system.

This season, the Kansas City Chiefs finally showed their fangs, causing headaches for the entire league.

Whether it's Mahomes or Li Wei, these two Kansas City Chiefs juniors are proving their value further, shining brightly.

Frankly, this matter is troublesome but not enough to cause disarray. The league is full of experienced old foxes who have weathered countless storms, so panic doesn't come easily; the true trouble lies in another matter.

Secondly, the "Motion Offense."

To be precise, the new Motion, thoroughly overturning the league's understanding, with an impact no less than the Read Option Offense's first entry into the league.

This time, it might be even more astonishing.

After all, Read Option Offense relies on the running ability of quarterbacks, and old models like Big Manning and Brady can't execute.

However, this time the "Motion Offense" is a pass, and tactical coordination, which any quarterback and any wide receiver can complete.

Once teams master this tactic, the entire league's pass defense will face a daunting challenge; it's a revolutionary tactical innovation.

In fact, this tactic in the original timeline would have to wait until the 2023 season with the Miami Dolphins, introduced to the league by Mike McDaniel, not only making the Miami Dolphins the most efficient offensive group in the league but also quickly sweeping across the league within just one season.

Simply put, this kind of "Motion Tactic" can become "Short Motion." Unlike traditional Motion, which adjusts formation through movement, this kind of Motion announces the snap before players finish moving. The focus is not on judging the defensive group's formation but primarily on maintaining the initiative in the offensive group's hands.

The inspiration for this "Short Motion" originated from McDaniel's work experience in the Canadian Football League (CFL), mainly because the NFL's defensive group was evolving, seamlessly connecting man-to-man marking and zone defense. Regular Motion couldn't judge the defensive group's intent, presenting many anticipation difficulties, prompting McDaniel to recall Canadian football rules.

In the CFL, among the eleven offensive group members, up to five players could move forward, backward, or laterally; however, in the NFL, relevant rules are particularly strict.

McDaniel drew inspiration from this, cutting the long Motion in half and modifying it according to NFL rules, thereby winning an advantage for the offensive group.

But now, in this timeline, it appeared early in another form.

Li Wei, knowing nothing about football, naturally had no idea about the tactics later inspired by McDaniel, and the birth of this "Motion Tactic" counts as a surprise.

Everything stemmed from Li Wei, Hill, and Hardman, three players with absolute speed, during offseason training. Li Wei, this outsider with no knowledge of football, "innocently" asked why quarterbacks cannot pass while moving and have receiving players run their routes early.

Hill and Hardman both knew it was impossible, but Li Wei's words inspired Running Back Assistant Coach Clark to come up with a simplified version of the "Motion Tactic," which Li Wei then encouraged Clark and Reed to discuss.

Reed was very interested.

Then, this "Short Motion Tactic" emerged four years ahead of time.

Ahead of its entire era.

The impact is imaginable.

With the force of a hurricane, sweeping across the entire league.

At this moment, the league finally realized that the chaos caused by the Kansas City Chiefs during this offseason and preseason was all for secrecy—

In the NFL, tactical secrecy is an art.

After all, the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints had been caught up in spying scandals, highlighting the dirty insider moves of teams during season prep.

The Kansas City Chiefs knew they were the target of many arrows, and Reed didn't want them exposed too early.
