With six minutes and 25 seconds left in the second quarter, the San Francisco 49ers took the lead for the first time in the game!
"So far, this offensive battle can still be regarded as the most exciting top-level matchup of the season. Peyton Manning and Lu Ke teamed up to give a perfect game."
"Manning completed 13 of 18 passes, 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one fumble; Lu Ke completed 10 of 12 passes, 147 yards, and two touchdowns."
"Both quarterbacks have undoubtedly shown MVP-level top standards. It can be seen from the score that both teams have exerted their ultimate capabilities on the offensive end, although both defensive ends are working hard to keep up. They have picked up the rhythm and performed well, but the real brilliance is still on the offensive team. This is the true peak matchup! The game that I have been waiting for all season finally shines!"
"Peyton Manning and Lu Ke both demonstrated the ability of top 'tactical masters'!"
"Currently in the entire league, the only quarterbacks who can reach such a high level and dominate at the tactical level are the two players standing on the court at this moment. This is definitely worthy of repeated study and reference by all quarterbacks in the league. In one game, they showed all the efforts that the quarterback can try at the tactical level, and created enough advantages for the offensive team to firmly grasp the initiative, which is truly the ultimate achievement."
"The game has entered the second half of the second quarter, and the competition between the two sides is becoming increasingly fierce. This is undoubtedly a major happy event for the fans."
In the studio, Teddy was making a simple summary. Through the attack and defense just now, the game took a turn. Now the San Francisco 49ers have taken the lead, which also means that the Denver Broncos must bear more responsibility. There is a lot of pressure, and the game situation has changed subtly.
Kirk added his point of view in a timely manner, "I think everyone underestimates the impact of the defensive team. Not only did San Francisco's defensive team just change the situation, but Denver's defensive team also has the ability to disrupt the rhythm of the game, because The half is coming to an end, and the physical strength and energy of both sides are facing challenges. The San Francisco offensive team, which is plagued by injuries, is likely to decline in physical strength and be unable to provide effective support to Lu Ke."
"We must not forget that football is a collective sport. No matter how perfect the quarterback's performance is, without the support of his teammates on the offensive team, he cannot complete the advancement. Now it depends on how much support the San Francisco 49ers offensive team can give Lu Ke , and whether the Denver Broncos defense can seize the opportunity; similarly, the Denver Broncos offense is facing similar problems, which is why I think the defense needs to step up."
Only in a very, very small number of games can the offensive team maintain a strong state throughout the game, and there may not even be a punt in the entire game; but most of the time, the offensive team may have slight deviations, resulting in strikeouts, just like in Denver. The Broncos' previous offense.
Now, the two offensive groups with full firepower are facing such a challenge, and the first one to meet the challenge is Manning!
During the kickoff, the Denver Broncos chose to kick the ball back, but the returner failed to break the line and was tackled at the twenty-yard line; to make matters worse, the return team also committed a pulling foul. , was penalized ten yards, which also means that Manning must start the attack on the ten-yard line in front of his own end zone.
For the San Francisco 49ers defense, this is opportunity.
Facing the tense offensive starting position at the forefront, Manning still showed no mercy and showed his determination to win:
After running the ball on the ground, running back Ronny Hillman, who came on the rotation, successfully advanced four yards; when the pocket protection encountered a bumpy situation with severe pressure, he took the initiative to step forward and pass the ball completely, and found the outside receiver Ai Rui with a fifteen-yard pass. Kerr Decker completed the first-down conversion in a desperate manner and left the dangerous position at the edge of the end zone.
Although the defensive team created huge pressure, Manning still showed a highly focused attitude, calm layout and decisive tactics. The most important thing is that whether it was a mid-pass or a long pass, Manning did not face the pressure. Conservative and timid, this is an upgrade of the entire tactical system, once again showing the style of the league's first offensive team this season.
But, as Kirk said, it's time for the defense to perform.
Facing the first ten yards again, Manning suddenly attacked without warning, challenging a 40-yard long pass, trying to connect with the team's top wide receiver Demary Reese Thomas; but cornerback Tarell Brown once again Completed a wonderful blocking position, blocking Demaris' sprint line, forcing Demaris to fail to reach the passing point as expected. He was still about two steps behind, resulting in the passing of the ball. undone.
Even Aikman in the studio couldn't help but exclaimed, "Manning is in very good shape now. It can be seen from his tactical choices of mid-pass and long passes that he is full of confidence. Even the cold weather can't stop him. He, although his passing accuracy and passing arc have indeed been affected a lot, he still dares to challenge, which means that the San Francisco defense team needs to take more precautions."
Ten yards later on the second play, the Denver Broncos' offensive tactics were seen through. The San Francisco 49ers defensive team stepped forward and not only tore through the pocket protection, but also intercepted running back Hillman John Fox's ground-pushing tactics. In the end, Hillman tried his best and only advanced two yards.
On third down and eight yards, the San Francisco 49ers defensive team suddenly changed its rhythm. The entire defensive position retreated completely. Only four players were left on the front line to rush the pass. Seven players were gathered on the second line to complete the layout of matchup defense and zone defense. The entire defensive focus is tilted towards the passing side.
Unexpectedly, the four-man pass rush achieved very good results, once again putting huge pressure on pocket protection. Manning had to find passing targets in the bumps, but unexpectedly found that all passing routes were blocked by San Francisco. Locked down, the situation is very critical.
In a crisis situation, Manning didn't have much time to find a better passing target, so he chose a short pass in the central zone and tried to complete the ball through the personal ability of tight end Julius Thomas, but Julius failed. He was caught in the double-team of two defensive players and failed to complete the ball.
So, on fourth down and eight yards, the Denver Broncos also suffered their first strikeout of the game.
Entering the final stage of the first half, the San Francisco 49ers continued to gain the upper hand on both offense and defense. Not only did they overtake the score, but they also further gave Lu Ke a chance to play again. This also allowed San Francisco, which had always lagged behind in the first half, to Got the chance to expand their lead.
"The current situation is reminiscent of the National League Finals. In the continuous strong confrontation, the San Francisco 49ers gradually eroded the advantage from both ends of the offense and defense, and finally turned the advantage into victory step by step. This team with strong willpower is With this ability, a familiar scene is now happening again.”
"But the difference is that the cold weather at the game is creating more difficulties. Although this team has survived the coldest game in history, it must be noted that they have experienced consecutive wild card games, division games There are many tough battles in the National League finals, and the impact of injuries must also be taken into account, so how much energy their physical strength can still explode is unknown, and this is destined to be a difficult game."
The special teams of both sides appeared again, and the San Francisco 49ers also chose to return the kick. Although Osgood successfully returned the ball to the fifteen-yard line, a yellow flag appeared on the scene.
The referee ruled that the return team committed a pushing foul and lost ten yards. This also forced the offensive team to return to the four-yard line at the front of their own end zone to start the offense.
"...Did the same plot just happen? Peyton Manning was forced to retreat to the ten-yard line to start the offense. He showed his courage, but ultimately suffered a strikeout; now Lu Ke is forced to Retreat to the four-yard line and start the offense, and then it depends on Lu Ke's performance."
Ten yards from the first gear, running back Frank Gower ran with the ball on the ground without any tricks. He just looked for a breakthrough from the central area head-on to avoid mistakes. Correspondingly, he would inevitably face an area where the defensive team was heavily stocked. It ended up being just three yards.
In the second gear and seven yards, Lu Ke passed the judgment of the defensive player with two consecutive fake moves, and then found Logan on the opposite side with a short five-yard pass. After Logan held the ball, he calmly and calmly used his flexible steps. He got rid of the close guard of cornerback Dominic, found the advancement line in the narrow space, squeezed through the first attack conversion line, and got the first attack for the team. At the same time, he also came to the vicinity of the 14-yard line and broke away. The red zone.
Immediately afterwards, there was another short pass and a run, and the steady attack led the team ashore, out of the danger zone, to the vicinity of the 22-yard line, and ushered in the official timeout.
"Different ways of playing, but showing similar control abilities. Manning and Lu Ke led the offensive team in their own way to get rid of the problem of the offensive starting position. Now, the more important question is whether Lu Ke can lead the offensive team to How about continuing the whole momentum and scoring again?”
After the timeout ends, the game restarts.
Faced with two yards on third down, Lu Ke handed the football to running back Gall, and then attacked the front line to cover, opening the way for Gall to advance from the ground and get the first offense.
"Frank Gower has the ball! Gower is looking for space to advance!"
"Danger!"
"Denver only uses four people to rush the pass, but it has successfully ripped open the offensive line's pocket protection and penetrated the pocket! Now they are going all out to suppress Gall!"
"Danger! Goyle!"
"Sylvester Williams teamed up with Malik Jackson to surround Gower. Gower was trying to break through! Williams tackled Gower head-on! Gower was trying to get away! Gower! Gower fell Down! Jackson's secondary impact caused Gall and Williams to fall together! God! Dropped the ball!"
"Gower dropped the ball!" 2k reading network
