David Akins did not make any deviations. After taking the free kick, the score on the field was rewritten again, "20:35", and then the Baltimore Ravens offense was about to take the field again.
Even the dullest and most casual fans can feel the tension and turbulence of the atmosphere on the court at this time. The San Francisco 49ers have scored touchdowns in two consecutive waves of offense. The flowing offense is completely unstoppable. After returning from the power outage, They only had one incomplete pass, and they were completely different from the offensive team in the first half.
Objectively speaking, this is the true level of the San Francisco 49ers' offense. The top strength that has ranked among the top of the league in the past two seasons is definitely not just talk on paper at the data level. However, on the stage of the Super Bowl decisive battle, everything is possible. After repeatedly missing opportunities in the first half, they finally found their form in time in the second half and stopped racing all the way into the abyss. The situation of the game is quietly changing.
No one should forget that the San Francisco 49ers successfully defeated the Atlanta Falcons in the second half in the National League Finals. Like the Baltimore Ravens defense, they both have the ability to improve their status and apply pressure. If they don't pay attention a little bit, in the first half The pattern of the second half will be completely reversed!
This is absolutely no joke.
Now, all the pressure is on the Baltimore Ravens. From the offensive team to the defensive team, this is true across the board.
Although the score gap is still fifteen points, and at least two touchdowns are needed to take the lead, the Ravens still have the absolute initiative; but the situation is full of countless variables. If the offensive team cannot score, it cannot delay the game. If Lu Ke cannot be kept firmly on the sidelines, the pressure on the defensive team will continue to pile up layer by layer, and the situation will only become more and more dangerous.
Therefore, now both the offensive team and the defensive team are under the same pressure. The Baltimore Ravens cannot throw all the blame to the defensive team. Joe Flacco must step forward!
After coming on the field again, the Ravens special team still chose to attack back, and it was Jacoby Jones again. Akins drove the football into the end zone, and Jones started to attack back without hesitation; but this time 49 However, the special team was prepared in advance and did not give Jones any more room to advance. He pressed Jones hard near the twelve-yard line.
If you want to win the race, you absolutely cannot step in the same ditch twice in a row.
Flacco comes on the field at our own twelve-yard line.
The Baltimore Ravens offense is aware of the crisis of the current situation; and the San Francisco 49ers defense is also aware of the subtlety of the situation at this moment. As much as the offense wants to stay on the field as much as possible, the defense wants to send the opponent off the field as quickly as possible. But it won't be easy for either side.
For the San Francisco 49ers, Lu Ke's two special skills can only be used on the offensive team. The offensive team's state is quickly returning to normal, but at the same time, the defensive team is still in a slow improvement process. They begin to need more It takes time to find your own rhythm and intensity.
However, the San Francisco 49ers' offense scored two touchdowns in a row, and they did it in an absolutely strong manner, which boosted the morale of the defensive team.
No, less than two minutes after his debut, outside linebacker Aldon Smith completed a crucial sack in the third-down defense and forced Joe Flacco's pass to make an outrageous error - —
The entire parabola was out of control. I could only see the height but not the distance. After climbing high to the top, it fell quickly, and there was no way to continue to advance. It was supposed to be a pass towards the mid-pass or long pass area, but it ended up falling near the linebackers' positions, not just three yards.
If it is a three-yard bullet pass, then the tight end can quickly complete the pass; but if it is a three-yard rainbow pass, then everyone standing in the short passing area has a chance. Just like now.
Patrick Willis used his body to knock away the position of No. 84 tight end Ed Dickson, giving Ahmed Brooks an advantageous position. In the chaos, In the game, Ahmed caught the football first and completed the first interception of Flacco in the game.
But...another "but" appeared.
Yellow flag foul!
As in the first half, the San Francisco 49ers defensive team's interception was thrown by the referee and a yellow flag was thrown. Flacco escaped for the second time and continued to maintain his record of never intercepting in the playoffs; but this time, The yellow flag foul caused huge controversy, causing the game to be interrupted for 75 seconds.
The referee's yellow flag was aimed at Aldon!
The referee believed that Aldon "maliciously charged the quarterback", that is, he made too rough a move during the sack of the quarterback. Not only did he blow the interception, but he also directly penalized the San Francisco 49ers five yards - That's five yards to the Baltimore Ravens.
This penalty triggered boos from the audience.
Jim Hubble was the first to shout to the referee: There was no foul on defense this time!
Aldong kept shouting injustice like Dou E: This time it is true! He completed the sack exactly as required by the rules. He turned his head sideways, lowered his hands, and tackled at the correct range around his waist. He also released his strength after the tackle was completed and did not continue to treat the quarterback roughly. He had no idea why he was being thrown a yellow flag.
The Baltimore Ravens offense remained silent. They did not argue with the San Francisco 49ers defense, but stood by and watched. So the San Francisco 49ers players communicated with the referees on the court. Aldon was a little emotional, but he still managed to control it. After restraining himself and not going out of his way, Willis, as the captain of the defensive team, stepped forward and asked the referee if he confirmed the penalty just made.
After relatively rational communication, the problem still has not been resolved.
Willis shook his head at Jim Harbaugh. The referee insisted on his penalty, but Jim Harbaugh hesitated for a moment, and finally did not choose the red flag challenge-the penalty of "malicious collision with the quarterback", which was different from the penalty after dropping the ball. Compared with similar penalties, they are often subjective judgments by the referee, and it is difficult for the head coach to overturn the penalty.
This penalty still caused numerous controversies after the Super Bowl, and even caused the league to discuss and modify relevant collision rules again. The dispute exists objectively and is not Ardon's unreasonable one. But during the game, they still couldn't overturn the referee's decision.
The game restarted after a seventy-five-second interruption.
If this was an interception just now, then the Baltimore Ravens offense would have struck out, and the San Francisco 49ers offense would have appeared again, which would have a crucial impact on the entire game; but... the interception was blown away After that, Flacco won the opportunity to try the third gear conversion again.
Just like the first half, and just like the previous three games of the playoffs, Flacco, who had narrowly escaped death, found Anquan Boldin with a fifteen-yard pass. The No. 81 wide receiver who shined in the playoffs miraculously caught the football while being double-teamed by three players, continuing the Ravens' offense.
Lu Ke said before that you must not underestimate Flaco.
Flacco's ability does not lie in his stability. In fact, for most of the game, his level is to maintain a stable output, just like the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers Alex Smith, but Flacco's short passing ability is obviously not as good as Alex's; but Flacco's ability lies in sudden explosive power, which is exactly what Alex does not have.
In this wave of offense, Flacco was stuck in the third gear transition for four consecutive offenses, but he got the first offense again four times in a row.
Once may be luck, twice may be coincidence, three times is strength, and four times is inevitable.
The San Francisco 49ers defense is struggling to keep up the pace and increase intensity, but Flacco is always able to find an opening in the third-down transition. In the final analysis, the defensive team is still not in optimal condition, but the offensive team led by Flacco is still in good condition. So, this is what happened.
The Baltimore Ravens offense spent nearly seven minutes stumbling all the way from their own ten-yard line into the red zone.
In the key red zone defense, the San Francisco 49ers defense finally got their energy together.
On the first play, running back Ray Rice was knocked down directly behind the line of scrimmage. Not only did he not advance, but he also lost yards.
In the second touchdown, Flacco found the wide receiver Jacoby Jones with a quick short pass. Because the shot was very fast, the defensive team had no time to react. Jones caught the football without any doubt, but outside linebacker Aldon - Smith and cornerback Carroll Rogers stepped up very timely and tackled Jones hard at the first opportunity. They only lost three yards and were four yards away from the end zone.
Just four yards, all tied up in a third-down touchdown.
Should we give it a go or play it safe?
John Hubble chose the latter.
Instead of passing the ball, Flacco once again handed the football to rotation running back Vontah Rich. The significance of choosing Vonta, who is a full-back, at such a critical moment is to play steadily. We hope that Vonta can continue to advance like a bulldozer, avoid mistakes, and score touchdowns at the same time.
The 49ers defense made no mistakes and knocked Vontah down on the line of scrimmage. The four-yard gap became a huge difference.
The Baltimore Ravens were not frustrated at all, because the third quarter was over. They consumed all the remaining game time in this quarter and had a free kick opportunity. They were the real winners.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, No. 9 undrafted rookie kicker Justin Tucker kicked a 21-yard free kick, rewriting the score to "20:38"!
The score gap widened to 18 points again.
