Entering the second half of the first quarter, the San Francisco 49ers used a crisp and smooth offense to score the first touchdown in just four gears. The strong and tough performance officially announced the recovery of the state. The much-anticipated "Battle Battle" is finally officially launched!
Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to the field again. Facing San Francisco's response, he was unmoved at all and showed his usual calm game temperament.
He first used a ground rush to disrupt the defensive rhythm, and then used a fake move to deceive the defensive second line - pretending to pass to tight end Julius Thomas, but changed the direction of the shot at the moment and found the ball. Eric Decker, who was 15 degrees behind Julius and three yards away, Julius attracted three defensive players, but Decker was unmarked and easily advanced ten yards; then he attracted another fake run and a real pass. Without all his attention, he turned around and completed a 35-yard long pass, finding Wes Welker who was speeding up at all speeds.
Although the long pass failed in the end, Wilk was running at full strength and was disrupted by cornerback Tarell Brown, causing him to overturn. In fact, Manning's pass was already in place, but Wilk lost it because of the loss of the ball. Focused and failed to complete the ball; but Brown fouled.
Wilke's breakthrough speed was so fast that Brown was forced to foul, and it was a double foul. He barely knocked Wilke over, otherwise Wilke would have completed the ball - and the result was destruction. Passing the ball, Manning's 35-yard long pass failed to succeed; but the yellow flag foul resulted in a ten-yard penalty, which was still given to the Denver Broncos for the first offense. Between the in and out, the defensive team's losses were still reduced. .
Although the long pass failed to succeed, Manning still showed a different look in this game:
In previous years, in the cold months of December and January, Manning's performance has been criticized repeatedly, and he has never been able to show the top level that matches the regular season. This is why he has only one Super Bowl championship ring so far. One of the reasons is that this year's playoffs seem to prove this point. The score in both games was less than 30 points. The firepower is still strong, but it lacks the domineering and strength of sweeping the army in the regular season - of course, the opponent's strength has increased. The different atmosphere from the playoffs is also an important reason.
Before the start of this Super Bowl, due to the cold wave warning, Manning's performance also encountered many concerns and doubts. However, judging from the games so far, Manning was fully prepared, even desperate preparations.
In the three waves of offense so far, Manning's tactical layout is very meticulous, making full use of every link of the offensive team to create advantages, and the fake moves and fake tactics are even more dazzling. This also keeps the San Francisco defensive team always in a In a passive situation, even in the first wave of offense and defense with Justin Smith on the court, San Francisco was not able to effectively contain Manning's calculations and games; at the same time, Manning also boldly chose to pass the long ball to attack, and has succeeded twice so far. Once, but it can be clearly seen that the appearance of long-pass weapons has restricted the defensive layout.
Although the weather is cold now, Manning is bound to have poor touch, and long passes are very dangerous. Moreover, Manning's passing accuracy has always been problematic. He often encounters interceptions and is more prone to mistakes in low temperature weather; but Manning is still brave. On the one hand, it is because San Francisco's defensive second line does not pose many threats. On the other hand, it shows Manning's risky gambling, which is his determination to win.
Obviously, in today's game, Manning is ready to give it a try.
Know the smallest details. It can be foreseen now that the San Francisco defense will face very, very severe pressure - this is an upgraded version of the best offense in history, and Tony Jarrod Eddy, who came on to replace Justin Smith, was originally Another backup rotation player for defensive end Ray McDonald, his playing time this season is second only to the two starting defensive ends. There is no need to worry about strength and experience, but after all, Justin is still missing to break out in the playoffs. The strong strength of the team also further weakened San Francisco's ability to exert pressure on the defensive front.
really! Manning showed the San Francisco defense the ability to be a "master tactician".
A ground rush, a short screen pass, and a quick shot, the entire offensive rhythm instantly increased, forcing the San Francisco defense team to also speed up. The defensive front line headed by Willis and Aldon continuously exerted strong pressure on the Denver Broncos offensive line. But it played right into Manning's hands——
Manning used himself as bait and put up a shotgun formation, but he retreated early to create distance, and left running back Moreno and tight end Julius on both sides of the pocket to increase protection, and he took the initiative to leave the pocket. In the interval, he found wide receiver DeMarres with a short pass.
It was still Demaryus Thomas. When Manning's passing accuracy showed obvious fluctuations and deviations, he relied on his own personal ability to turn the tide and complete a shocking one-handed catch. Cornerback Tarell Brown's head will steal the football and help Denver advance into the red zone.
The intensity of the offensive and defensive duel in the red zone increased several levels. The San Francisco 49ers used an absolutely tough attitude to cause running back Moreno to hit the wall, and cut off all passing routes to force Manning's pass out of bounds. In the blink of an eye, It once again put the Denver Broncos into a third-down touchdown dilemma.
At the critical moment, Demaris stepped forward again!
Manning's fake run and real pass failed to deceive the defensive team. Aldon teamed up with Jarrod Eddy to tear the pocket. Just when Manning was about to sack Manning, Manning passed the football first. Then he was knocked to the ground by Aldon, but the rugby ball was finally sent out.
Under strong pressure, Manning's pass showed serious irregular rotation, and the flight arc and intensity were in a turbulent and chaotic state. It was about to become an anti-aircraft gun and veered directly off the track, but Demaris could be seen. Relying on his own ability, he jumped on the spot like plucking green onions on dry land, and suppressed the opposing cornerback Tarell Brown with an unparalleled toughness. Faced with Brown's airtight personal marking, Demaris suppressed Brown's shoulders. , took advantage of his strength to take off, and stopped the football with both hands before it was about to go beyond his control.
While catching the football with his fingertips, it dropped quickly. Before Brown "carried" Demaris out of bounds on his shoulders, Demaris quickly slid across the ground with his toes and successfully controlled himself within the bounds. Then he almost completed the catch, scoring the Denver Broncos' third touchdown of the game.

"Faced with San Francisco's continuous pressure from the front line, Denver's offensive line was already unable to withstand it. Manning repeatedly fell into heavy pressure and tried to complete the pass.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

"etc!"
"The situation on the field changed, the San Francisco 49ers issued a red flag challenge, wow, what is going on?"
The whole place was in an uproar!
Hubble threw the red flag without hesitation and challenged the referee's decision. But the problem was that the audience and commentators did not see any problem at all. The confusion turned into an uproar with the appearance of the red flag, and then it became like a volcano. With the game erupting, can this game be more exciting?
"Jim Hubble challenged...the legality of the touchdown! This was an unexpected situation. Let's take a look at the video replay - Hubble believed that Demary Thomas failed to control his feet in the boundary after catching the football. Inside? Please video and zoom in on the details, we can now see:"
"Under Brown's defense, Thomas completely relied on his personal ability to catch the football, but Brown still did not give up and used his own strength to try to push Thomas out of bounds, but Thomas controlled his body, first with his right foot, then with his left foot... Wait! Wow, things have changed.”
"Out of bounds!"
"When Thomas' left foot landed, the toe went out of bounds. It was just a tiny part of the toe, but Thomas did go out of bounds with his left foot! This is an out-of-bounds catch! This is an invalid touchdown! Wow, God! It’s incredible that Hubble’s Red Flag Challenge succeeded!”
"From our video perspective, Hubble's judgment was correct, Tarrell did not give up until the last moment, and his persistence caused Thomas to go out of bounds, completing a crucial red zone defense for San Francisco. If the referee changes the call, it will be the Denver Broncos' first strikeout of the game! Wow, can this game bring more surprises?"
"We now need to wait for the referee's decision to see if they can confirm what we just saw from a different angle."
