"We are! The Nine! We are! Warriors!"
"Go! Go! Lions, come together!"
"We are! Nine! We are! Tactics!"
"Up! Up! Lion..."
Boom, boom, and continuous sound echoed throughout Ford Field. The eardrums began to agitate violently. Even my own voice had lost its meaning. Amidst the hoarse shouts, I could only feel the slight tremor of my eardrums. Vibrate, and then capture the mouth shape of others through your eyes to make sure you are still on the correct beat.
Crazy, real crazy. Fans of the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers launched into a roaring cheer. The two sides stood on the court one after another, going back and forth and began to roar at each other. However, gradually, the Lions, who had the inherent advantage at home, began to cheer. We are losing ground, fragmented and retreating.
It's incredible.
After expansion and renovation, Ford Field can now accommodate 70,000 fans to watch the same game as Candlestick Stadium. However, due to the economic downturn in recent years and the fact that this is a city crazy about hockey, the attendance rate of Ford Field has never reached that level. At its peak, this season's winning streak finally allowed fans to enter the stadium again to support the Lions. Today, the attendance rate in the entire stadium exceeded 90%, and approximately 65,000 seats were filled. .
At least compared to Cincinnati, this attendance rate is satisfactory enough.
Among the 65,000 fans, the north side stand has completely become the home court of the San Francisco 49ers fans. About 15,000 people came to Detroit to cheer for the team's away game; such a fan lineup, for the away game In terms of competition, it’s really incredible. The remaining 50,000 people are all home fans, which is more than three times the opponent's fans.
For some teams, even the home fans are hard to come by. Take the Green Bay Packers, for example.
The Green Bay Packers’ season-ticket reservation queue is thirty years old, and the average wait for a season ticket is ninety years—because they have to wait for someone to die or someone to give up; many families give up their children as soon as they get their birth certificates. Put your name on the website where you can buy season tickets, and season ticket holders must also name their successors in their wills.
Of course, in addition to season tickets, single-game tickets are still left for sale in each game. However, since 1960, the Green Bay Packers' home court has maintained a 100% attendance rate, which has not been the case in half a century. It has changed, and this is also a unique record in the league.
Therefore, even queuing up to buy single-game tickets on site is an extremely difficult task. This is true for home fans, let alone away fans? At Lambeau Stadium, away fans are never seen.
There is only one Green Bay Packer in the entire NFL.
Today at Ford Field, 15,000 away fans poured in. This set a new record for the San Francisco 49ers since the millennium. After ten years, this young team has finally begun to shine in all aspects. It showed a new vitality and showed an upward momentum and rising posture.
Now, facing 50,000 fans at home, the San Francisco 49ers fans burst out with unimaginable momentum. About one-third of the fans shouted, "We are!" and the remaining two-thirds of the fans shouted in unison. Shouting, "Nine!" a third of the fans shouted again, "We are!" and the rest of the fans responded again, "Warriors!"
One light and one heavy, back and forth, the sound wave created by the sound ladder was so sonorous that it could penetrate the clouds and crack the rocks, and forcibly suppressed the support of the Detroit Lions; it was not the volume, but the vastness of the momentum.
The support of the nine people was simple and neat, strong and tough, and the whole rhythm was methodical and advanced layer by layer, which brought endless shock; on the other hand, the support of the Lions seemed pale and boring, even a little weak, and could not form an effective effect at all. After years of confrontation and lack of support, fans have gradually forgotten how to support.
As a result, the Detroit Lions' call for support was interrupted, like a ball of loose sand, completely unable to form an effective confrontation.
Looking at each other in bewilderment, the Lions fans finally came up with a solution, "Gridiron-Heroes", which is the official fight song of the Lions. Every time the team faces difficulties, the fans hold hands and Singing side by side and becoming the most solid backing for your team, now is the critical moment.
"Viewers, viewers, what you are watching now is the sixth week of the NFL regular season. The Detroit Lions are playing against the San Francisco 49ers at home.

But how could we forget that the Lions also seemed to have found their leading man and had their best season start in six decades. Therefore, this game is bound to be full of excitement and worth looking forward to. "
Teddy and Kirk were still sitting in the studio, waiting for the live broadcast of the game.
It’s not just Fox TV, and it’s not just ESPN TV’s live broadcast. At this moment, there are more than thirty radio programs and countless secondary online broadcast platforms, watching this game, sitting on the TV and The audience in front of the computer is countless.

What do these data actually represent? In horizontal comparison, the audience, ratings, and online discussion of this game comprehensively surpassed the Thursday night game, Sunday night game, and Monday night game in the sixth week of the regular season, becoming the ratings champion of all programs in the United States this week. .
This is not a night game, but it is better than a night game. The level of attention is almost as high as the Thanksgiving Day game and the Christmas Day game.
From a certain perspective, the peak showdown between two young quarterbacks - surpassing the showdown between Lu Ke and Andy Dalton in the third week of the regular season, has become an important reason for young people to pay attention; in addition, Lu Ke As an undrafted Chinese-American rookie, he has successfully established himself in the league. This is also indispensable. Everyone is curious, whether it is with good intentions or malicious intentions.
The game attracted a lot of attention, unintentionally and unexpectedly. Ford Field is just part of a sizzling frenzy across the continent.
Standing in the players' tunnel, Lu Ke's mood began to rise. In his sight, he could faintly see the turbulent white ocean colliding with the boiling blue ocean, creating surging water splashes; but after his emotions reached their peak, he slowly Slowly it began to calm down, calmness and composure took over the brain.
Ding, the mission comes as scheduled again.

Complete tactical area control in official games; mission requirements: short pass usage rate is at least 30%; mission reward: base point +1.
Win the official game: Mission requirements: None; Mission reward: Base points +3. "
This time the game mission has undergone major changes, and it actually requires running the ball for a touchdown? And also requires detailed passes in the area? The usage rate of short passes must be above 30%? This further increases the requirements for game control. Does he have to think carefully about the details of these tasks before every pass?
The competition tasks were becoming more and more difficult; but before Lu Ke had time to think deeply, he immediately discovered another task.
“Goal mission: Develop a passing lineage of quarterbacks.

Wait, what is a target mission? And what are these failure penalties?
But Lu Ke had no time to think deeply because the players were leaving the tunnel in droves and the game was about to begin.
"We are! The Nine! We are! Warriors!"
The fans of the San Francisco 49ers stole the show and set off a white storm on their opponent's territory. It swept the entire stadium and surged through the entire player tunnel, getting closer and closer. Coming louder and louder.
There is no need to elaborate or mobilize. Every 49ers player began to get excited, with only one thought in his mind:
