"Viewers... Viewers, welcome to this week's game broadcast on Fox TV. We are currently reporting live at Candlestick Stadium in San Francisco. There is still some time before the game starts, but Candlestick Stadium has stirred up a golden ocean. And it continues towards the entire city with the stadium as the center.”
"It is reported that this golden ocean is an event launched for a fan named Ryan Baldwin. This fan is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an incurable terminal disease, San Francisco 49 After our No. 14 quarterback learned of this situation, in order to cheer for Ryan, he called on every Niners to come forward and cheer for him with practical actions."
"So, this scene happened."
"I can't imagine how Ryan feels at this moment; but I can imagine how he feels as a Niner at this moment. God, this is such an enviable and desirable team. The team has experienced nearly ten years of accumulation and ups and downs, and has experienced countless setbacks and ups and downs. Now they are transforming into an incredible light and glowing with new vitality."
After repeated urging from the director, Kirk finally spoke.
Kirk's voice was choked with sobs, and you could feel his touch and excitement through his thick nasal voice. The mixed emotions surging in his chest could never be discharged, and he could only marvel and marvel silently.
Those who know Kirk know that he is a die-hard Niner.
Not because of work or because of Lu Ke, Kirk is originally a Niner. He has been a die-hard fan of the San Francisco 49ers since his grandfather's generation. The family has deep roots and has been influenced by him since he was a child. He also became a staunch 49ers supporter.
But after work, in order to remain neutral and objective, Kirk hardly mentioned his own tendencies and preferences. Instead, he performed game analysis and commentary dutifully. However, he inadvertently exposed himself when commentating on the San Francisco 49ers game. The fanaticism and excitement of being a die-hard loyalist.
Today, Kirk felt that pride like never before. He can tell everyone confidently and firmly: He is a Niner, and he is proud of it, not because the team is back in contention, but because of the bright and dazzling golden ocean in front of him.
Compared with Kirk's emotion, Teddy, a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, was much calmer, but he still couldn't help but want to sigh, because the scene in front of him had no borders or limitations, and everyone Any fan who truly loves football can deeply feel that sense of happiness.
Teddy said in a relaxed tone, "Can anyone tell me why this game was not held in a night game?"
It's a joke, but the hidden meaning behind it couldn't be more obvious.
For the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams, playing in such a strong support is definitely not an easy thing. The balance between pressure and motivation is equal for both sides, maybe playing away from home. The Rams were able to take a slight advantage - after all, they are not afraid of wearing shoes if they are barefoot; now it depends on how the players on both sides adjust their mentality.
In fact, even without the impact of off-field factors, this game is highly anticipated.
In the ninth week of the regular season, both the San Francisco 49ers and the St. Louis Rams have offseason weeks, but the two teams are in completely different situations.
The San Francisco 49ers ended the first half of the season with an eight-game winning streak and remain undefeated so far. They enter the offseason with high morale. For them, this is more like an adjustment time to relieve pressure.
The St. Louis Rams entered the bye week with a three-game losing streak.
During the previous offseason, the Rams, who held the second pick, were the focus of attention because the performance of Sam Bradford, the No. 1 pick in 2010, was still not stable enough. Although he won the title of Offensive Rookie of the Year in his rookie season, , but the 2011 season was plagued by injuries and his performance dropped significantly, which was disappointing.
After the 2011 season, the Rams changed their head coach. The experienced and experienced Jeff Fisher ended his one-year break and returned to the NFL head coach's seat. As a result, many people are speculating that Fisher may give up Bradford and choose Heisman Award winner Robert Griffin III.
But surprisingly, Fisher chose to believe Bradford.
Everyone knows the story later. The Rams traded the second pick to the Washington Redskins in a "trading" method, and the latter did not hesitate to select Robert Griffin III, which shocked the entire league.
After the start of the new season, the Rams' performance was remarkable, showing a strong recovery momentum.
They narrowly lost to the Detroit Lions in an away game, narrowly defeated the Washington Redskins at home, and lost to the Chicago Bears in an away game. Then, in the fierce rivalry in the same district, they successively defeated the powerful Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks, ranking among the top five in the regular season. Zhou achieved an excellent record of three wins and two losses.
Everyone is discussing that the National League West has become a death group. All three teams have shown their ability to sweep through the playoffs; and the St. Louis Rams, who are best at fighting divisional civil wars, are like chicken blood. As long as They are particularly strong when encountering rivals in the same district. With one addition and one subtraction, the division showdown becomes crucial.
But after that, the Rams suffered a head-on blow, losing consecutively to the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, and New England Patriots. Their record before the offseason had dropped to three wins and five losses.
Suddenly, the name "Death Group" seemed to have ceased to exist.
But in fact, no one can underestimate the Rams.
Among the five losses so far, the Lions were last year's playoff team, the Bears were the top three defensive teams this season, not to mention the Packers and Patriots, and even the Dolphins, who seemed a little weak, were The team has also re-emerged this season and is currently bravely challenging the Patriots' hegemony in the American League East with a record of four wins and three losses.
In other words, the Rams lost the game in a strong matchup. It can only be said that they took a breath and their strength was still lacking; but in the division civil war, after they had breathed enough, they He will transform into a god of death, and even if he cannot defeat his opponent, he will definitely be able to skin him.
Facing the San Francisco 49ers, who are currently the champions of the NFC West and remain undefeated this season, the St. Louis Rams do not need to mobilize at all. The team is highly motivated and gearing up to inflict their first defeat of the season on their rivals in the same division. —
Last season, the Arizona Cardinals did it, and the St. Louis Rams, who have been upgraded this season, will not miss it easily.
This game takes place against this background.
For the Rams, they naturally do not want to be reduced to a backdrop, let alone a historic moment when their opponents unite as one? They expressed sympathy for Ryan's situation; but that was about it, and they were happy to be the spoilers that ruined their opponents' historic moments, truly fulfilling their duties as division rivals.
Can you personally break your opponent's undefeated golden body? And still under the attention of such a golden ocean? Is there anything more joyful than this?
Therefore, the St. Louis Rams team is full of fighting spirit, and their motivation is even greater than that of the San Francisco 49ers; after all, their opponents are now burdened with huge pressure from people who can only win but not lose.
From time to time, my mentality has undergone subtle changes.
The first touchdown of the game came as early as expected, because it always seems to be like this in San Francisco 49ers games, and it has become a common norm; but what is surprising is that the first touchdown today But it's not the San Francisco 49ers, but the St. Louis Rams.
"The San Francisco 49ers' defensive team made a mistake in coordination. Cornerback Chris Gulliver tried to complete the block in time to intercept the rush of St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson, but outside Guard Aldon Smith is also trying to fill his defensive gaps."
"Faced with such a situation, Jackson made a timely emergency stop to get away and lost his position; Smith and Gulliver tried to change their focus to complete the second defense, but the two got stuck on each other's lines and failed to close the door. A gap was left, and Jackson accurately seized the opportunity and ran out of a gap."
"Touchdown! It's an eight-yard touchdown run!"
"It is worth mentioning that this is the St. Louis Rams' first touchdown in the past three games! It is also their second touchdown in the past two games! They are indeed the champions in the same conference, every time Facing opponents in the same conference, the Rams are always able to improve their state in time, exploit the weaknesses of their opponents in the same conference, and strive for victory."
"This time, facing the San Francisco 49ers, who have remained undefeated in the regular season, the Rams, playing away from home, took the initiative! They used the running ball to break through the 49ers' defense, which has the best running ball defense this season. It's wonderful! It's really wonderful. !”
Before the game started, Bradford, who correctly guessed the coin, chose to attack first without hesitation. This move showed the strong confidence of the St. Louis Rams, completely ignoring the comparison of record, status and strength. Facing today The game showed the determination to win.
On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers defensive team was a little constrained in the first wave of defense. They missed at least two important tackles and a defensive mismatch. The failure of the last shutout was also the best portrayal; in addition, the impact on the opponent's offensive line was not enough. It worked. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford passed and ran the ball and scored a touchdown.
The pressure of the game and the transition of power create different game states. It's clear that the St. Louis Rams have no intention of being a supporting player in this game.
