When the Tigers took the field again, there were just five minutes and seven seconds remaining in the first quarter.
The first wave of attacks by both teams took a lot of time, and the offensive and defensive teams of both sides showed strong competitiveness. Perhaps the competitive state of both sides was not 100%, which caused the game to be a bit stumbling; but Overall, the consciousness of winning and the intensity of confrontation between both sides were excellent enough, presenting a wonderful first quarter.
The same goes for the next game.
The San Francisco 49ers' defensive team showed strong momentum and intensity, and repeatedly delivered tough defense. A sack, a forced rush pass, and two last-minute disruptive passes made the opponent's offense stumble. Repeatedly got into trouble with long yardage on third down.
But the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive team is no less impressive, with a high concentration of attention. Under the leadership of Andy Dalton, they often complete the crucial third-speed offense at critical moments, continue to advance, and stumble to continue the offense. Go down.
The chemical reaction of the game gradually became heated, and there were many tough collisions between the two sides. The yellow flag appeared four times, and the San Francisco 49ers' defense took possession of it three times. The number of penalty yards also allowed the Tigers to continue to advance.
In the end, the 49ers' defense almost stopped the Tigers in the red zone. At this time, Dalton was only 11 yards away from the end zone touchdown, but the 49ers still handed over a beautiful defense and put the Tigers back in the red zone. The offensive containment of the touchdown became a free kick. The Tigers did not take the risk of forcing the fourth gear, and after taking a free kick, the score was as close as "3:7".
Immediately afterwards, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team and Cincinnati Bengals defensive team, who appeared again, also showed their intensity.
On the one hand, Atkins on the defensive team still performed well, intercepting running balls and making hasty passes; during the crisis, he also knocked off a pass from Lu Ke, although he was not able to create an interception. , but still joined forces with his teammates to contain the 49ers' powerful offensive.
On the other hand, the offensive team led by Lu Ke had a balance of pass and run. After coming on the field, he escaped a sack and sneaked a 14-yard pass, leading the team to advance quickly and also allowing the opponent's defensive players to advance quickly. There was a lot of noise; then, the short passing tactics and strong running of the ball, the entire offensive tactics were reasonably distributed, and the four receiving players fully blossomed.
Unfortunately, when the Tigers advanced to the 17-yard mark of the half, a long pass was slightly too powerful; a running ball failed to advance the yardage; a short pass was successful, but it only advanced six yards and failed to get it. First attack. In desperation, the 49ers also chose a free kick.
After David Akins kicked a free kick without any suspense, the score reached "3:10".
At this time, there were less than sixty seconds left before the end of the first half. Despite this, the Tigers offense, which came on stage again, still did not give up.
In a football game, the first and second quarters are considered the first half, and the third and fourth quarters are the second half. During the first half, although there is a break, the offensive and defensive progress will not be cleared, only during the halftime break.
In today's first half of the game, the Tigers were the first to attack, and in the second half, the San Francisco 49ers were the first to attack. Therefore, during the fifty-eight seconds on the field, the Tigers continued to attack. If they wanted to score or score a touchdown, long passes were the only option; but unfortunately, Andy Dalton's pass was in place. The San Francisco 49ers' second-line defense did not lose focus, and both offenses declared the pass incomplete.
Finally, the game time ran out and the first half ended. The players from both sides returned to the locker room with a score of "3:10". The twelve-minute intermission ended quickly. Then, the two teams again Come on stage and fight again in another place.
The atmosphere of the game is still breathtaking!
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the sound of body armor and body armor colliding with each other was transmitted through the microphones ubiquitous in the arena. Even sitting in the studio, Kirk and Teddy couldn't bear it. Zhu frowned and exclaimed, "This capture was really brutal!"
"The Tigers' defensive tackle Geno Atkins and outside linebacker Manny Lawson teamed up to sack Lu Ke. There was no suspense and no chance left. The two ghosts knocked on the door and knocked Lu Ke down. Again. This sack really came too timely, finally containing the overwhelming momentum of the 49ers offense and easing the pressure on the Tigers."
"Lu Ke raised his hand to pass the ball, but was sacked at the moment of passing the ball. The football could not be passed, and the Tigers' defense team grabbed the football. Wait, is this an incomplete pass or a dropped ball? The referee needs to watch the replay to determine the answer."
The difference between an incomplete pass and a fumble is: whose hands the football is in.
The so-called incomplete pass means that the quarterback passed the football. At this time, the football in mid-air is an ownerless thing. If the offensive team receives the ball, then the ball is completed; if the defensive team receives the ball, then the ball is completed. It's an interception; no one catches the ball and it lands directly, resulting in a dead ball. Then the ownership returns to the quarterback again. At this time, if the defensive team grabs the football again, it will be invalid.
The so-called dropped ball means that the ball rights of the football still belong to the offensive team, either in the hands of the quarterback, or the receiving player completes the ball, and then at this time, the defensive team shoots away the football or uses an impact to create a dropped ball. Then football returns to a state of ownershipless things. Whoever grabs the ball owns the ball.
So, when the quarterback starts passing the ball, the defensive team completes the sack, causing the football to fall to the ground. How to determine whether the pass is incomplete or the ball is dropped? The principle is: whether the quarterback has made a passing movement, pulled back his arm, waved his forearm, completed or is about to complete the throwing action.
If it is done, it is an incomplete pass; if it is not done, or there is no time to do it, it is a dropped ball.
In the defense just now, Atkins and Lawson were so fast that they completed the sack almost the moment Lu Ke passed the ball. Whether the pass was incomplete or dropped is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the referee must confirm it through slow-motion replay.
But no matter which penalty it was, what is certain is that the San Francisco 49ers' offensive momentum suffered a heavy blow.
After the start of the second half, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team still showed strong ability to advance. As the brains of the team, Lu Ke was always able to lead the opponent by half a step in tactics, occupying every flash of offense. Upside.
He got the first down for six consecutive times and advanced 68 yards to the 22-yard line in the opponent's half. Among the six first downs, none fell into the unfavorable situation of the third-down offense, and four of them were second-down. Ten yards were completed in one gear, two first-down conversions were achieved in the first gear, six passes and four runs were made, bringing the essence of pass-run balance to the extreme. The entire offense was smooth and unstoppable.
Strictly speaking, the Tigers' ground defense was very good today. Thanks to the forward tilt of the surprise attack tactics, the first line defensive players remained highly focused and did not leave many opportunities for the running backs. Marcus - Lynch, Anthony Dixon and Kendall Hunter took turns, but none of them ran up big numbers.
However, Lu Ke's passing gradually opened up the situation. In just the six passes in the second half, he succeeded five times and advanced 39 yards; under the constraints of passing, the running backs were unable to Running a phenomenal amount of yards, he was still able to advance four to five yards per push, which was very efficient and put more pressure on the Tigers.
With his keen capture of fighter opportunities, accurate reading of the defense and decisive passing, Lu Ke fully displayed the strong skills of the quarterback, and the Tigers' defense team was somewhat overwhelmed.
As Kirk said, after four minutes and fourteen seconds of the second half, the 49ers' offense had reached the 22-yard line, six yards on the second gear. If Lu Ke continued to complete the pass, the red team would The district is close at hand.
Facing the crisis, the Tigers players held their breath and suddenly accelerated and released, completely tearing apart the 49ers' offensive line. Atkins and Lawson teamed up to complete a crucial sack, temporarily stopping the bleeding. .
"The sudden burst of Atkins and Lawson was really fierce. Lu Ke had no chance. He was sacked directly on the ground before he could pass the ball. However, one second before he was sacked, Lu Ke seemed to try to pass the ball.
Yes, judging from the TV station's slow-motion replay, Lu Ke's passing action had been completed before the sack. This was an incomplete pass. I don’t know what the referee’s penalty was, but judging from the outside lens, it should be that the pass was incomplete. "
In the studio, Kirk and Teddy were also watching the replay to understand the specific situation.
"In this offense, Lu Ke's tactical arrangements still have the upper hand. It can be seen that Logan Newman and Michael Crabtree have already run out of gaps, and Lu Ke has also seized the opportunity, so Ready to pass. Wow, that's a pass toward Crabtree, and if it goes through, it's at least a ten-yard gain to get to the edge of the red zone in one go."
The replay can capture details that cannot be seen during the live broadcast. Teddy's sighs overflowed involuntarily, "Atkins and Lawson's sacks were so timely. A little slower than half a beat, Lu Ke It's going to be a different pass again. It's going to be a different game."
"Atkins showed an amazing competitive state today. This is his 2.5th sack." For sacks completed by multiple people, each person counts half a time. "At the same time, there were three hasty shots. He The performance of one person supported the entire Tigers' defensive team, even better than Andy Dalton, and stole the glory of today's rookie showdown!"
Before Teddy's words of praise ended, Kirk added, "Under Atkins' amazing performance, the 49ers still took the lead in the score, and Lu Ke still performed brilliantly, which means that What?"
