In an instant, the game became tense all around, both sides choosing to exert their forces simultaneously. O'Brien and Reed each strategized to outwit the other, creating a slightly chaotic scene, as if a thousand troops were interwoven together.

All five offensive line players closed in, like a retracted umbrella, they guarded Mahomes inside with the stance of a mushroom shield.

Bam bam bam!
Collisions happened instantly, one after another.
It was evident now that the Houston Texans' defensive group stepped up fully, applying continuous pressure like a force breaking through bamboo; yet the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line retreated a step early, lowered their center of gravity, and withstood the impact.
