U.S. Bank Stadium was like a pressure cooker, with tension gradually climbing to its zenith, seemingly on the verge of explosion at any moment.
First and ten.
Pederson took advantage of the Kansas City Chiefs' wary mindset, going against expectations with a clean and straightforward choice to run the ball, maintaining the initiative tactically.
Blount, the number one running back who had hardly had a chance to perform in the game, was not willing to let Clement steal the limelight. Finally, he demonstrated his bulldozer-like strength by pushing forward against the Chiefs' stiff resistance on the ground, managing to forcefully advance three yards.
Although the progress was limited, Blount fully exhibited the solid and substantial characteristic of the ground game, holding out in a deadlock and effectively consuming game time.
Reed called their first timeout.
Second and seven.
Foles faked a pass and went for the run, handing the ball to Blount for the second consecutive time.
