Touchdown, cancelled.
Tomlin curled his lips, raised his jaw meaningfully, and nodded gently in a raised posture. His body movements said, "Okay, I accept the penalty", but his eyes and expressions were "This penalty is worthy of fun", and his expression revealed too much information.
Then, Tomlin turned his head and looked at the court, his eyes passed through the crowd, and then collided with Lu Yiqi's eyes again. After a brief spark-filled contact, he turned away and re-entered his work.
They all knew that the game had just begun.
Lu Yiqi retracted his gaze and looked at the players in the defensive team, showing encouragement with his eyes. Popinga has regained his positive game posture and actively slapped the players in the offensive team to celebrate. He looks forward to the offensive team being able to perform well in the next place and let the game enter their rhythm.
Woodson and Driver were constantly slapping their hands to cheer up the offensive team players. Looking at this scene, Lu Yiqi felt relieved and turned to command the secret service team to appear.
Facing a few inches in four gears, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not risk challenging the fourth gear at the beginning, but chose a free kick in a normal manner.
Veteran kicker Jeff Reed made a debut. This is not an excellent kicker. His overall performance in his career is still not stable enough, but this year's playoff performance has entered a highlight moment, and he has scored sixteen free kicks in a row, reaching 46 yards at a distance. With the team's touchdown in the offensive group not enough, Reed's stable performance has become the most important means for the team to score.
Because the free kick position is too close to the player, it is difficult for the kicker's kicking arc to rise completely. It is very likely that he was intercepted by the opponent's special service player during the takeoff stage of the parabola. Therefore, Reed deliberately created a foul on delaying the game and was fined five yards. This is also the most commonly used method for free kicks in the red zone.
If you are lucky, you can force the opponent's special service team to make a foul, and it is very likely that you will directly give the offensive side a first attack, which is a new three-time chance to challenge the touchdown; but even if this does not happen, the kicker can win a more suitable kicking position.
The Green Bay Packers Secret Service team did not make any mistakes, the Pittsburgh Steelers retreated for five yards, and then Reed challenged an 18-yard free kick without unexpected hits.
“0:3”.
Pittsburgh Steelers opened the first record.
Standing on the sidelines, Rogers was a little nervous. He stood on the Super Bowl stage for the first time and tried his best to clear his brain. However, the hot and suffocating air at the scene still had an unconscious impact, and the beating of his heart accelerated. Then Rogers noticed a figure quietly appearing beside him.
It's Nelson.
Rogers turned his head and asked "what's happening" with his eyes, but Nelson did not express anything special. He just stood beside him and jumped to warm up, preparing for the upcoming appearance step by step. This action made Rogers stunned, and then he understood and couldn't help but smile—
Nelson is expressing the meaning of fighting side by side in this way. No matter what they encounter, they will stand together and fight to the end.
The tension and excitement still did not dissipate, but the high fighting spirit has regained the upper hand.
The person responsible for launching a return attack for the Green Bay Packers at the beginning was No. 4 wide receiver James Jones, a young wide receiver who repeatedly plays the role of surprise at critical moments, also shoulders an important task today.
Similar to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers also launched a kick-off return attack; unlike the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jones's return attack style is lighter and more agile. Relying on the dismantling and cover of the special service teammates, Jones successfully found a gap and broke through to his 27-yard line all the way. Then he was tripped under the double-team of three players and ended the return attack.
You come and I go.
Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers showed strong attack ideas, and Tomlin and Lu Yiqi both like to take their destiny into their own hands, which was fully revealed in the opening stage.
"The Green Bay Packers Offensive Team is on the stage."
"We can watch a set of data comparisons. During the regular season, the average ground propulsion yardage of Green Bay Packers was 81.2 yards, ranking third from the bottom in the league; but after entering the playoffs, the average ground propulsion yardage of Green Bay Packers rose to 113 yards, showing a qualitative leap."
"It is very important that the Green Bay Packers' pass and offense poses a huge threat, which has indeed created many opportunities for ground offense; but if you study it in depth, you can find that the Green Bay Packers' pass and run in the playoffs are more balanced, and the performance of the offensive front line and running backs have improved."
"In this game, facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, the best defense in the league, the Green Bay Packers offensive team is indeed facing a severe test. On the data level, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the first pass defense in the league and the second on the ground defense in the league. The number of passes and yards lost on the ground are the lowest in the league."
"In addition, the Pittsburgh Steelers' red zone defense success rate, touchdown defense success rate and other data are also the best in the league."
"Indeed, if you compare it alone, the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2008 season with the best Chicago Bears in the 1985 season and the Baltimore Ravens in the 2000 season, there may be some gap, but the gap is also very weak. The defensive dominance shown by the Pittsburgh Steelers this year is indeed amazing."
"For Green Bay Packers, this is a serious test, it depends on how Coach Archie deals with it."
One digit ten digits.
Rodgers chose to hand over the football to running back Grant. The Green Bay Packers still used the double-running back tactics most frequently used in the regular season to open up the situation, but the Pittsburgh Steelers defense team had been on guard for a long time, and the front-line steps were very timely and resolute, and they cut off Grant's propulsion space as soon as possible.
Crashing against the wall.
No code loss but no code advancement.
Two digits and ten digits.
Rodgers just announced the kickoff and immediately felt the strong pressure from the Pittsburgh Steelers defending the front line-
This season, the Green Bay Packers have played against many teams with excellent defensive performances, including the Tennessee Titans, the New York Giants, the Indianapolis Small Size, the Carolina Panthers and other teams; and the ground defense of the Minnesota Vikings in the same zone surpassed the Pittsburgh Steelers to rank first in the league.
So, Rodgers really felt the tough and tough front-line pressure, but those teams were not Pittsburgh Steelers.
The defense team did not even deploy the Pro Bowl-level linebacker group, and just relied on three players on the defensive front line, and then paired with a Pro Bowl and top outside linebacker Lamarr Woodley, the Pro Bowl and All-American second team. The four-man rushing tactics have put a lot of pressure on the Green Bay Packers' offensive front line.
The entire upward rush, rhythm and power are completely different! It is not of the same level at all!
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense team is ready to take action at the beginning!
