The score was "20-28." The San Francisco 49ers' bold and risky two-point conversion attempt had now yielded a wonderful result. The score difference had only changed from "seven points" to "eight points," but it had compressed the Detroit Lions' chances of a comeback to the extreme. The scales of victory had begun to tip noticeably.

After the special teams' quick kickoff, Matthew Stafford had only twenty-one seconds left.

After taking the field, Stafford abandoned his plans for short and medium passes and tried to challenge the deep field with his first pass. However, the offensive line's poor performance ruined any possibility. He couldn't even throw the football before being sacked for the third time in the game, falling to the ground heavily like a broken sack.

Although the Detroit Lions still didn't give up and used a timeout, facing a second-and-seventeen with seventeen seconds left in the game, Stafford was unable to create a miracle this time. A short pass was quickly intercepted, and another pass was incomplete. All offensive opportunities and all timeouts were squandered.

Then, the referee blew the final whistle, officially announcing that the game was over. The away fans' stands at Ford Field erupted in a frenzy, joining the celebration in a state of delirium.

In Week 6 of the 2011 regular season, in a highly anticipated showdown, the previously undefeated Detroit Lions, playing at home, faced the San Francisco 49ers, who had a 4-1 record. In the end, the 49ers, led by undrafted rookie quarterback Lu Ke, successfully defeated their opponent with their courage and toughness, boldness and risk-taking in the final moments, breaking the Lions' undefeated season.

So, after all the games this week were over, only one team remained undefeated: the defending champions, the Green Bay Packers.

There was no doubt that this was a hard-fought battle full of sparks and fierce competition. The back-and-forth, give-and-take, tit-for-tat clash ran throughout the entire game.

Even in the final crucial moments of the game, both teams' offenses and defenses performed brilliantly.

The San Francisco 49ers' winning touchdown was not due to an error by the opposing defense, but rather by their superior skill in a head-to-head battle, firmly grasping victory in their hands.

Likewise, the Detroit Lions' attempt in the last twenty-one seconds also showed their unyielding tenacity. They were outmatched by the powerful performance of the opposing defense, which is why they lost the game.

In other words, this was a game where there was no luck or fluke. In a battle of absolute strength, both teams held nothing back and fought for the win. The final result was a testament to their current form and strength, which undoubtedly held important implications for the playoff picture and prospects.

In this game, both teams showed a remarkable fighting spirit. The San Francisco 49ers won beautifully, and the Detroit Lions lost a brutal one.

Although this wasn't a night game, the spectacular and dramatic game surpassed the three night games this week and became the king of ratings.

Whether it was the massive viewership on Fox and online streams or the discussion activity on social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram during the live broadcast, it all surged, making it deservedly the hottest game and a phenomenal game of the week.

Two young and energetic quarterbacks both delivered a perfect performance, gaining countless fans.

Matthew Stafford: 29 of 41 passes completed, 403 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, three sacks, a quarterback rating of 118.2, and a PFF grade of 1.3.

Lu Ke: 25 of 34 passes completed, 267 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, one rushing touchdown, zero sacks, a quarterback rating of 115.7, and a PFF grade of 1.5.

Overall, it can be seen that Stafford's quarterback rating was slightly higher, while Lu Ke had a slight edge in the PFF grade. This was the result of the differences in the two scoring systems.

In the quarterback rating, passing yards and passing touchdowns are important reference data, while rushing touchdowns are not counted. In the PFF grade, all data is taken into account.

However, leaving aside the scoring differences, both quarterbacks performed outstandingly. The fierce competition was at a fever pitch, and they collaborated to deliver a game for the ages, fulfilling the audience's expectations.

The matchup between the second and third-ranked teams in the official power rankings was truly deserving of its title. The only regret was that the score didn't soar to an offensive battle of forty-something points to forty-something points, but the excellent performances of both quarterbacks were still enough to impress everyone.

After the game, an online frenzy of discussion immediately broke out.

As the number one overall pick in the 2009 draft, people always had higher expectations for Matthew Stafford, but in the past two years, injuries had been the biggest obstacle. It wasn't until this year that he truly showed his potential and ability as an excellent quarterback.

In this game, Stafford's tough performance in the crucial moments successfully earned the applause of the Lions' fans and also attracted the love of more neutral fans. After going through a lot, Stafford had finally found his footing in the league.

As the biggest focal point since the start of the regular season this year, the attention on Lu Ke had never cooled down. However, the discussions were all about the curiosity and gossip surrounding his race, being undrafted, and controversy, as if a child had just received a new toy and was only there for the fun of it. That was until today's game.

His accurate defensive reads, experienced play-calling, precise long-pass control, and calm demeanor in a crisis, as a quarterback, Lu Ke showed incredible potential. People finally realized that this quarterback was not just a hot topic for gossip. The fact that he could find his footing in the NFL and lead his team to victory was definitely not that simple.

This time, it wasn't just a boring number on the scoreboard that was quickly forgotten after being seen. By personally watching the game with their own eyes, observing his performance on the field, and experiencing the ups and downs and the almost suffocating tension of the game, Lu Ke's performance left a deep impression on the audience's minds.

Lu Ke not only earned the support of the San Francisco 49ers' fans, with their cheers at the away game becoming a unique sight at Ford Field this week, but the entire team was also bravely united and moving forward together.

He also gained the attention and affection of more neutral fans. In other areas outside of San Francisco, the name "Lu Ke" was no longer just a joke about "Skywalker."

In competitive sports, it all comes down to the game, skill, and competition. Those off-field factors are now taking a backseat and becoming supporting roles for popular topics. Now, people are starting to truly realize Lu Ke's ability. He is a rookie quarterback, but he is also a rookie quarterback who can lead his team to victory and has the potential to grow into an excellent quarterback.

In this week's game, the San Francisco 49ers broke the Detroit Lions' undefeated streak, and they did so in a head-to-head battle, with both teams playing at a high level. This not only showed Lu Ke's ability, but also the ability of the entire team.

Before the regular season started, industry professionals were questioning the San Francisco 49ers from all angles, and Lu Ke was just one part of it.

Eight consecutive seasons of mediocrity, a big cleanup in the offseason, lukewarm acquisitions in the free market, and a complete overhaul of the coaching staff...

Especially the instability of the coach and quarterback positions.

Jim Harbaugh had only been the quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders for one season and then the head coach for the University of San Diego and Stanford University, but he had no experience as an NFL head coach and was a complete rookie. The quarterback position had also changed hands three times in a short period, with an unknown undrafted rookie finally taking over.

Everything indicated that this year was going to be another very difficult year for San Francisco.

But now, people are realizing that the young and energetic San Francisco 49ers have been completely transformed. They are now becoming a force to be reckoned with in the league. They not only have hope of making a run for the playoffs, but they also have hope of causing a storm in the playoffs and becoming an even more powerful spoiler.

The previously undefeated Detroit Lions were the perfect test. In the game, the San Francisco 49ers' offense, defense, and special teams all performed brilliantly, truly showing the style of a strong team.

Of course, to be critical, this was still a team with a stronger offense than defense.

In soccer, people always say that offense wins games, and defense wins championships. It's the same in football. The relatively weak defense will inevitably be a hidden danger for the San Francisco 49ers, but no one can deny that their spectacular and fluid offense, thrilling deep passes, and bold and decisive risks have earned the 49ers a large number of neutral fans' support and cheers.

Even during the recording of the show, "Inside the NFL," the commentators all agreed that the San Francisco 49ers' strength needed to be re-evaluated. It was clear that this team was growing into a strong contender in the NFC and had the ability to challenge any strong team.

Once again, Charles Davis was almost nowhere to be seen. He didn't continue to criticize Lu Ke or the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, he changed his angle and gave more credit to the Detroit Lions, believing that this team would have a chance to secure a spot in the playoffs.

The controversy surrounding Lu Ke seemed to be slowly settling down.

In competitive sports, the best way to eliminate controversy is always victory.

There is nothing that one victory cannot solve. If one is not enough, then two or three will do. After achieving an excellent record of 5-1, the controversy surrounding the San Francisco 49ers finally calmed down.
