"It's a running play! No, no, it's a pass! It's a pass!"

As he was commentating, his voice involuntarily started to go off-key. His hoarse voice began to falter and change pitch. After gradually getting higher, it finally cracked, a sincere and natural display that perfectly showed the commentator's surprise and shock.

The sudden trick play came without any signs or warnings, catching everyone off guard. Even the commentators, who were watching the game from above, were stunned, not to mention the defensive players on the field. They were caught off guard and completely bewildered, only able to react with their instincts, their eyes blank.

"Marcus Lynch's fake run was so convincing that it attracted all the attention of the entire defensive unit. Both the first and second lines of defense compressed their defensive space, but then, Lynch turned and threw the ball, cleanly passing the football back to Lu Ke, completely faking out the opponent's entire defensive line.

The San Francisco 49ers' rookie quarterback made almost no adjustments, and with a quick flick of his hand, he completed the pass. A trick play! The 49ers, in such a tense and urgent situation, once again boldly pulled out a trick play! My goodness! This is almost breathless. Now the Detroit Lions' entire defensive unit is in chaos."

Teddy's jaw was about to dislocate as he looked at the scene on the field in disbelief. But at this moment, he didn't have more time to gasp and exclaim, because Lu Ke had made no adjustments at all. He completed the pass with a quick motion, a rainbow pass, a rainbow pass in the red zone.

After deceiving everyone, the high-arcing parabola flew over the offensive line, over the defensive line, and also over the cornerbacks and safeties of the secondary defense, appearing high above the end zone.

It easily flew over the entire dense defensive area, like a single sword thrust to the heart to seal the throat!

"There are no defensive players in the end zone, no defensive players, but there are no receivers either. Lu Ke's target is... Vernon Davis! The San Francisco 49ers' number eighty-five, Vernon Davis!

One inside cut, one straight line. A simple, straightforward running route, with no entanglements or interceptions. He easily broke into the end zone and completed the catch without any effort. Touchdown! This is a touchdown! The San Francisco 49ers have scored another touchdown!"

Kirk heavily pounded the desk. The reversal after the surprise caused his adrenaline to explode without restraint, releasing all his excitement and emotional energy. Not just the broadcast studio, but the entire Ford Field was buzzing. The shouts and yells of "touchdown" broke free from the restraints of every commentator's throat, releasing themselves fully and surging above the stadium. The sound was transmitted through radio waves to every corner of the North American continent.

Kirk was just one of them. "Touchdown! Touchdown!" He couldn't help but pound the desk again, exclaiming and repeating the same word to express his inner excitement. The entire desk "thumped" and groaned, and the dull, throbbing pain in his fist slightly calmed his surging emotions. Only then did he return to his commentary of the game.

"A play that was almost a perfect fake. The San Francisco 49ers deceived the entire Detroit Lions' defense. After the defense compressed their formation, a sneaky, straight-line rainbow pass to the end zone easily destroyed the entire defensive line!

Vernon Davis did not face any challenges. He wasn't even matched up against any defensive players. The closest player, Chris Harris, had completely misjudged the play. His center of gravity was off, and he was too far away. He only had time to chase back a few yards, but it was useless. He couldn't even get close and could only watch as number eighty-five completed the touchdown reception!

After a last-ditch long pass connection, the San Francisco 49ers struck while the iron was hot and took the touchdown!"

Even after watching the replay again, the exclamations of amazement didn't stop. There was no crisis, no confrontation, and no suspense. The entire pass and touchdown were as easy as taking a stroll. From the snap to the touchdown, it took only four seconds, but it perfectly showcased the tactical charm of the NFL.

"Effortlessly, with a flick of the wrist, it was as easy as picking something out of a bag. The San Francisco 49ers faced no challenge on this drive at the edge of the red zone and cleanly scored a touchdown, once again taking the lead. Playing on the road, they have taken the lead for the second time with a score of '13-7.' As soon as they kick the extra point, the score will be further changed to '14-7'."

After the passion was released, Kirk gradually calmed down and turned to Teddy. "What do you think?"

"This game truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most anticipated matchups of the week. Both the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions have delivered a brilliant offensive battle!" Teddy didn't hold back his praise.

As a Fox Sports commentator, they had bought the broadcasting rights for all of the San Francisco 49ers' games this season. Inevitably, Teddy was more supportive of the 49ers. But today's game was a back-and-forth, with sparks flying. The strong offensive battle was truly magnificent, and the passionate emotions were simply unstoppable.

"Calvin Johnson completed a devastating individual touchdown in the second half of the first quarter. After breaking through layers of blocks, he used his personal abilities to break into the end zone, vividly showing the beauty of a powerful catch. Then, Lu Ke used a series of dazzling tactical combination punches to come back from the brink of death multiple times, perfectly combining the wisdom and power of the sport. The final strike was a fatal one! Brilliant, brilliant, it's truly too brilliant!"

Teddy only used a few simple sentences to summarize the game so far, and in the end, he even applauded. Even though the second quarter of the game wasn't even halfway over, the excitement was already worth the price of admission. The only pity was that this game wasn't a night game and didn't get to be broadcast on the national stage.

Kirk nodded in agreement. Then, in the replay video, he began to commentate, expressing his own opinion.

"In the last drive, Lu Ke, Logan Newman, and Marcus Lynch, these three players from UCLA, built a stable and efficient 'iron triangle.' They connected with each other three times in a row at crucial moments, relying on their chemistry to gain yards. Finally, they completed the touchdown through a connection between Lu Ke and Vernon Davis.

After becoming the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Jim Harbaugh tried to establish a West Coast offense in the team, to replicate his successful philosophy at Stanford University. Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick were both considered, but he didn't expect that he would eventually lay the foundation of the offense on the three musketeers from UCLA. Such a coincidence is truly interesting."

In the NCAA, UCLA and Stanford were bitter rivals, the kind that were sworn enemies.

For the first time, the concept of the "UCLA Iron Triangle" was presented to the audience through Kirk. In fact, this idea wasn't new, but it was the first time it was mentioned during a live broadcast. This also gave people a more three-dimensional understanding of the chemistry between Lu Ke, Logan, and Marcus.

No one expected that these three musketeers would be able to write their own history in the league.

Inside Ford Field, it was a tale of two extremes. Cliff Hart held the large red "King of the Bay Area" flag high and ran through the stands. The flag, which was fluttering in the wind, was making a loud rustling sound. A wave of people began to surge wherever he passed. At the same time, the collective cheers exploded.

"We are! Niners! We are! Warriors! We are! Niners! We are! Warriors!"

The uniform shouts overlapped one after another, colliding with each other. The resounding sound soared in the crazed heat, and the echoes of one wave after another overlapped, creating a deafening roar that surged through the entire Ford Field.

All fifteen thousand 49ers fans were in an uproar. With one voice and one heart, they completely detonated the powerful momentum after the team's touchdown. The fifty thousand Lions fans in the other three stands tried to counter with boos and shouts, but after being hit with a series of blows, the fans were a bit stunned for a moment. Without a unified organization, they couldn't even put up a fight.

So, for a moment, Ford Field became the home of the San Francisco 49ers. That momentum was continuously building, rising, and exploding with a destructive force.

After a long period of decline, the San Francisco 49ers, who had gradually become like a pile of sand, from the players to the fans, from the coaches to the spectators, and from their style to their spirit, had now finally come together again, once again radiating their own brilliance and color!

Just as Teddy said, in this high-stakes matchup, both teams' offenses have shown good form. So far, the performances of Lu Ke and Matthew Stafford have been outstanding and evenly matched. Now, after Lu Ke's second touchdown pass, the stage was once again handed over to Stafford, and the pressure was once again on the 2009 number-one draft pick.

Leading the offense onto the field again, Stafford took a risk with his first pass, a long pass. A thirty-seven-yard pass found Calvin Johnson, who was moving quickly on the left side. Johnson undoubtedly completed the catch, but because of an offensive pass interference penalty, the referee ruled the play invalid and nullified the brilliant pass connection.

Despite this, Stafford still strongly declared his fearlessness.

Faced with the opponent's excellent performance, Stafford was completely unfazed, and he continued to show his excellent form this season, especially his courage and stability at critical moments. He was always willing to make bolder choices between taking risks and being conservative.

This not only led the Lions to five consecutive wins, with two of them being hard-fought comebacks, but also in this game, he was gritting his teeth and rising to the challenge! Difficulties and setbacks were simply not a problem!

The game was truly becoming a great one.
