In the red zone, the offensive team committed three fouls and was penalized 20 yards in total; the defensive team fouled twice and was penalized 15 yards in total. The third offensive opportunity was repeated six times due to fouls, consuming four minutes and eight seconds of game time, and ultimately ended with the San Francisco 49ers striking out.
In the last attempt, faced with a one-yard touchdown in third gear, Lu Ke chose to hand the football to Marcus. Marcus tossed and turned, trying to break a line and complete the one-yard advance, but failed to find any chance. He was even tackled one yard behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of one yard.
Fourth gear and two yards.
Lu Ke stood in the pocket of the offensive line, looking at Marcus with some regret as he was pushed to the ground by four defensive players. He still felt a little regretful.
The cold weather is fair to both teams, because neither of their home stadiums is so cold. The impact of weather always causes trouble invisibly. The physical exertion of both the offensive and defensive teams exceeds expectations, which is also a yellow flag. Due to repeated reasons, in the end the defensive team had a slight upper hand in the red zone, disrupting Lu Ke's offensive rhythm with the advantage of the crowd, and stopped two yards before the end zone.
The previous mercury-laden offense unfortunately failed to bring a touchdown.
But the regret only surged for a moment. Lu Ke quickly collected his emotions, clapped to greet his teammates, and took this opportunity to adjust his breathing and prepare for the next wave of attacks. The important thing is that their state showed an upward curve, and If you stick to the score, that's a good thing.
The offense goes out and the special teams comes in.
Because he was too close to the end zone, it was very easy for the opponent's special team to block the shot. Therefore, Akens deliberately delayed the game and was fouled. He was penalized five yards by the yellow flag, allowing the free kick to evolve from 19 yards to 24 yards. Then, Akins Kens made an immediate success and successfully helped the team recover three points.
"16:10".
The Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers both failed once in the end zone. The former completed a 21-yard free kick, and the latter completed a 24-yard free kick. The score once again formed a chasing and chasing situation. Now there is still a point difference of one ball possession, and the game has entered an anxious stage.
The fighting battle is well-deserved!
So, is the defense willing to just let the offense shine?
At least the San Francisco 49ers defense refused to allow Manning to focus on him - don't forget, this is the fifth-ranked defense in the league. Although it may be difficult to withstand Manning's firepower in terms of pass defense, on the defensive front During the confrontation, they were still able to seize some advantages.
Ten yards from the first gear, running back Moreno's ground rush was intercepted hard and only allowed two yards.
On the second gear and eight yards, the defense team suddenly chose to rush the pass with six players. Defensive end Ray McDonald teamed up with inside linebacker Patrick Willis to break the pocket protection. McDonald completed the final blow and sacked Manning. On the ground, a loss of eight yards.
On the third gear and 16 yards, Manning continuously changed the kickoff call and used a fake kickoff to try to deceive the San Francisco 49ers' early move. However, he failed to succeed and finally had to choose to officially kick off.
"Four-man pass rush!"
"San Francisco went with a four-man pass rush, with peaker Glenn Dorsey and defensive end Ray McDonald splitting the offensive line, and now center Manning Ramirez and right guard Luis Vasquez are missing Your position is dangerous! Danger! Dorset and MacDonald are pushing two offensive contributors to rush towards Manning!"
"Step back!"
"Manning was continuously stepping back! But Manning's pocket steps obviously couldn't keep up! Impact! Dorset pushed Vasquez and hit Manning!"
"Manning! Manning lost his center of gravity! Manning was trying to protect himself! He moved his steps! Wow! Manning, with his center of gravity unstable, took the initiative to move forward and entered the center of the confrontation. He fought for He won a passing space! Manning is preparing to pass the ball!"
"Incredible! This is really incredible!"
"Manning! Manning's pocket steps are a little staggered! Wow, Dorsey and McDonald threw away the offensive linemen and turned around to form a outflank! Jarrod Eddy is filling in! Willis is returning! Danger! Manning! MacDonald! God, it’s MacDonald again!”
"McDonald tackled Manning from behind! Sack! McDonald sacked Manning for the second time in a row! Willis also arrived shortly after and forced Manning and McDonald to the ground with a impact that lowered their center of gravity! Sack! It was a sack! The San Francisco 49ers defense sacked Manning!"
"Drop the ball!"
"Manning showed up and dropped the ball! God!"
"Eddie! Jarrod Eddie flew over! Eddie was fighting for the ball with Orlando Franklin! Jarrod Eddie got the first step!"
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Tony Jerrod-Eddie grabbed the ball! Ray McDonald teamed up with Patrick Willis to make a fumble. Tony Jerrod came on as a substitute for Justin Smith. Eddie got the ball! God! God! First transition of the game!"
"Incredible! I can't believe my eyes!"
"Look at the energy that the San Francisco 49ers defense team unleashed on the front line. They were strong and tough, showing their absolute strength. They continuously tore through the Denver Broncos' offensive line in an unreasonable way. They rushed the pass with six people at a time and made sacks. ; Four people rushing the pass at once, still making sacks and fumbles!"
"Faced with the outstanding performances of the two offensive teams, the defensive team was obviously unwilling to let their opponents have the spotlight alone. The San Francisco defensive team took the lead in stepping forward! It showed unparalleled toughness on the defensive front, and continuously rushed the pass and resulted in a sack. , completely killing the Denver Broncos’ offensive rhythm!”
"The San Francisco 49ers created the first ball transfer of the game! This is also the focus of the pre-game analysis. The state of this defensive team is not stable, but at critical moments, they are always able to burst out with enough energy. From the regular season From the last game to the wild card game, they successfully helped the team complete the final fatal blow. If the Denver Broncos underestimate this defensive team, they will pay the price, and now the turning point of the game has appeared!"
"Brilliant! This is absolutely brilliant! The San Francisco 49ers defense earned their offense a sixteen-yard offensive position in the front of the end zone!"
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
The nine people in the entire Metropolitan Stadium once again erupted in mighty shouts and cheers. Kate Wiggins had completely abandoned her reason, jumping, roaring, screaming, and waving her arms continuously. Boxing, cheering for the team and shouting:
This is the San Francisco 49ers!
No matter how powerful the opponent is, no matter how difficult the challenge is, no matter how terrible the dilemma is, they will never surrender easily! Regardless of the outcome, they fought persistently and resolutely until the last moment, and then calmly welcomed their own ending with their heads held high!
Just like Ryan Baldwin!
Staring at Macdonald and Jarrod Eddy roaring passionately in the stadium, Kate's vision was blurred, and her whole heart was trembling slightly for this team.
God, she loves this team so much, she's crazy about it! Until this moment, her heart was closer to Ryan than ever before.
On the edge of the court, Lu Ke turned his head and cast his gaze towards Justin Smith, only to see Justin clenching his fists and roaring crazily and passionately towards the court, with his shining eyes shining brightly, unwilling to give in. But he is also passionate. Even when he is sitting off the court, he is there with his teammates.
Justin seemed to notice Lu Ke's eyes, raised his head and looked over, then waved his fist and shouted selflessly, "Go out and take them down!"
Lu Ke did not speak, but clenched his right fist, waved heavily, responded to Justin, and then led the offensive team on the stage.
The defensive team players high-fived the offensive team one after another, and Willis even bumped into Lu Ke's shoulder, placing the heavy responsibility on Lu Ke's shoulders.
From just coming off the field to re-entering the field, it only took a short two minutes to adjust, but the breathing of the offensive team players has returned to normal, and the energy in the strong confrontation has picked up again. This allows Lu Ke's offensive layout to be able to Have more possibilities.
Both sides formed an array.
There is no obvious change in the position of the Denver Broncos defensive team, but the position of the linebackers and cornerbacks is obviously closer, seeming to assume a zone defense posture; however, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team only needs one shift. The test came out, it was originally a multi-line offensive formation——
Three receiving players were placed on the right wing, but they were not arranged horizontally, but arranged vertically in a straight line; under Lu Ke's command, Ted Ginn, who was standing second vertically, moved from Lu Ke and Marcus He crossed the gap and headed to the left wing, joining Crabtree.
At the same time, outside linebacker Travison, who was responsible for marking Ginn, also moved his position. This was obviously still a confrontational defense, not a zone defense.
The most important thing is that Lu Ke did not leave much time for the defensive team to react. Gene's footsteps had just stabilized, and before Traverson could reach his position, he had already announced the kick-off.
"attack!"
This made the Denver Broncos defensive team panic immediately. Because of Gene's lateral movement, after Lu Ke caught the football, he adjusted his steps and made a pass in the direction of Gene; more importantly, the originally positioned player Boldin, who was in the last vertical position on the right wing, also moved laterally to the left——
In other words, it was originally a multi-line attack, with three receiving players placed on the right wing, but now only Logan is left. All other receiving points are moving towards the left wing, plus Lu Ke's pass. With the ball movement, the Denver Broncos, who were already half a beat behind, were now even more confused.
Every opposing defensive player who receives the ball has to be separated by the entangled Chuhehan boundary between the two forward lines. They look at each other from a distance like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, while watching Lu Ke's passing movements and paying attention to the receiving ball. Due to the movement of the ball players, the cornerbacks and linebackers in the entire short passing area were all disrupted, and even the safety guard's vision became a mess.
So, what exactly is Lu Ke planning?
