After returning to the field, Matthew Stafford was not only not nervous or soft-handed, but he became even more composed and bolder. He showed a do-or-die attitude in adversity, proving to every spectator that the Detroit Lions' five-game winning streak was not an easy feat, but was truly earned through absolute strength.

The tough offensive stance was fully displayed.

After the first pass was called back due to a penalty, Stafford started organizing the offense from scratch. He first handed the ball to Jahvid Best, the second-year running back who had rushed for 115 yards in the last game. He was met with layers of interceptions from the 49ers' defense, but after several collisions, Best miraculously didn't go down. He stumbled and ran all the way down the left side, finally successfully getting a first down.

Then, Stafford went all out, effectively controlling the pass-run balance.

Best and another running back, Kevin Smith, took turns running, and the running game was quite good. The two wide receivers besides Calvin Johnson also maintained a steady performance, with three catches to continuously gain yards. In addition, under critical circumstances, the San Francisco 49ers committed two yellow-flag penalties, automatically giving up a first down... The Lions' entire offense had completely opened up the game.

Although the 49ers' defense was highly focused and increased their defensive intensity, they consistently made tackles and didn't give up big yardage, often forcing the Lions into second and third-down crises. However, they were always unable to effectively defend on third-and-long. The one time they successfully defended, a yellow-flag penalty nullified their previous efforts and automatically gave up a first down.

So, in a stumbling fashion, Stafford took less than four minutes to successfully advance into the San Francisco 49ers' red zone.

Then, facing a second-and-five situation, Stafford threw a screen pass to Calvin Johnson in the left corner. Surrounded by three defensive players, Johnson used his physical advantage to stubbornly catch the football and escaped a tackle. He dragged a defensive player with him, forcefully broke into the end zone, and successfully scored his second touchdown of the game.

There was nothing they could do. Absolutely nothing.

The Detroit Lions' strategy was clear: Matthew Stafford connects with Calvin Johnson, there was no need for guesswork. The San Francisco 49ers successfully made a defensive play. Three defensive players formed a circle around Johnson, not losing their positions or missing any routes, like catching a turtle in a jar.

But Johnson, with his personal talent and ability, managed to force his way out. The 49ers' safety Colin Jones even committed a foul—grabbing a player's helmet—but still couldn't stop Johnson's bulldozer-like drive. He was dragged into the end zone with him, completing the touchdown together with his opponent.

The foul was invalid, the touchdown was successful.

This was an unsolvable problem, just like Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks. Once he entered a great state, he was unstoppable.

Even if the strategy was exposed, even if the target was exposed, and even with joint coverage, they just couldn't stop him. What was even more frightening was that if the defense poured all its energy into focused coverage, the quarterback of the offense could use such a talented player as a smokescreen, aiming at the weak defensive area and instantly delivering a fatal blow, leaving the defense overwhelmed.

Besides sighing, the defense could only be glad that a talented player was not omnipotent. They couldn't dominate every play. How to defend against Calvin Johnson was a topic that every team in the league had to study.

Another touchdown, another Calvin Johnson. The Detroit Lions once again showed their tough offensive stance, keeping pace and tying the score for the second time.

San Francisco scored a touchdown, Detroit scored a touchdown. Then, San Francisco scored another touchdown, and Detroit scored another touchdown. The score on the field showed an interesting curve. Then, the score came to "14-14." Such an intense game was sparking with excitement, making every spectator cheer with delight!

If this game were to be broadcast as a night game, both Lu Ke and Stafford would have undoubtedly gained a large number of fans. Unfortunately, it was not a night game.

Nevertheless, the online broadcast still sparked countless discussions, and netizens were all excited and thrilled. Both Lu Ke and Stafford were considered part of the new generation in the league. Their sudden emergence was truly an eye-opener.

The game continued in this manner, truly entering a state of intense competition!

The San Francisco 49ers got possession of the ball again, but this time, the Detroit Lions' kickoff had an incredible effect. The 49ers sent out Kyle Williams to return the kick. After catching the ball, Williams couldn't find any space to return it, but he still tried to make a return. In the midst of twists and turns, the Lions' special teams unit quickly made a tackle and even caused a loss of yards.

In the end, the San Francisco 49ers had to start their drive from their own seven-yard line.

Facing such a bad starting position, Lu Ke once again made a calm judgment. Using a cross-route run, he threw a thirteen-yard pass to Ted Ginn. After catching the ball, Ginn broke through two tackles with an unstoppable momentum and successfully advanced to around midfield. It was only then that he was tackled by Louis Delmas's coverage, which stopped the drive.

Then, Lu Ke first handed the ball to Marcus Lynch, who successfully made a tough ground drive and got a first down. Then, he made two consecutive short passes to Michael Crabtree on the left side, and one short pass to Logan on the right side. This was followed by a four-yard running play by Lynch, and the San Francisco 49ers were already within field goal range.

Unfortunately, this offensive drive ended there. The next three offensive attempts were not ideal, and they couldn't get another first down. Facing a difficult fourth-and-two situation, Jim Harbaugh didn't take the risk of going for it on fourth down and instead sent out David Akers. The veteran kicker steadily kicked a thirty-eight-yard field goal.

After scoring three points, the San Francisco 49ers successfully took the lead again, "14-17," maintaining their advantage.

Matthew Stafford's offensive rhythm seemed to be affected to some extent. After coming back on the field, the first offensive pass was incomplete. The second offensive pass was successful, but a yellow-flag penalty on his own teammate not only nullified the pass but also resulted in a five-yard loss, forcing a second-and-fifteen.

Then, a failed running play and a wildly inaccurate long pass led to a clean three-and-out, without much struggle or controversy. The balance of today's game was broken for the first time. After the San Francisco 49ers scored, the Detroit Lions immediately scored, keeping the score tight. This stalemate was finally broken as the second quarter came to an end.

However, at this point, two minutes had passed in the second quarter, and there wasn't much time left until halftime.

After coming back on the field, although Lu Ke found Vernon Davis with a long pass to the right side, a twenty-one-yard connection, Vernon immediately went out of bounds to stop the clock. But the next three offensive attempts were all in vain. Following the Detroit Lions, the San Francisco 49ers also had a quick three-and-out and couldn't continue their scoring momentum.

After the punt, the Detroit Lions had sixteen seconds and three timeouts. Matthew Stafford still tried to lead his team to advance, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

First, a sixteen-yard pass was broken up by the San Francisco 49ers. Then, Stafford was sacked by Patrick Willis, the 49ers' number fifty-two veteran, who also caused a fumble. Fortunately, the Lions' offensive line provided timely coverage and secured possession, preventing any further mistakes.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The score was temporarily "14-17." The San Francisco 49ers, playing on the road, had a slight advantage with a field goal.

After the second half began, the Detroit Lions started on offense.

In the kickoff return, the Lions showed good form, continuing their fierce momentum from the first half. A single return successfully brought them to their own forty-five-yard line, giving them an excellent starting position.

After coming onto the field, Stafford didn't miss this opportunity. A twenty-two-yard pass once again found "Megatron" Calvin Johnson. Johnson charged into the end zone in one fell swoop, completing a touchdown. However, the offensive interference was too obvious. At least two players committed different fouls and received yellow flags, and the touchdown was nullified.

In a state of helplessness, the Detroit Lions had to start over.

The highly focused San Francisco 49ers' defense successfully and effectively intercepted Calvin Johnson for the first time, pinning Megatron at the 49ers' twenty-three-yard line and forcing the Lions into a desperate fourth-and-four situation. After much deliberation, the Lions didn't dare to challenge on fourth down and chose a field goal.

After the Lions' kicker Jason Hanson successfully kicked a forty-yard field goal, the score was tied for the third time at "17-17!"

The brief pause at the end of the first half, after the halftime break, was now running again, returning to the expected path.

It truly lived up to its name. The matchup between the number two and number three teams in the power rankings created incredible sparks and was becoming more and more interesting. The second half had just begun, and the two sides were tied for the third time. The two teams' offenses seemed to always be on the same rhythm, with simultaneous bursts, simultaneous stops, simultaneous stalls, and simultaneous explosions.

The two sides never really pulled away from each other, which also confirmed the predictions of various experts before the game. This was going to be a game decided by the offense, and both offenses lived up to the task by engaging in a brilliant offensive battle.

The Detroit Lions had made adjustments during halftime, so had the San Francisco 49ers' hot offensive streak carried over into the second half? Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Ke once again led his youthful offense onto the field.

But, ninety-nine seconds later, the San Francisco 49ers had a three-and-out.
