In the fifteenth week of the regular season, at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the San Francisco 49ers must not be taken lightly, and at the same time, they do not have the capital to take it lightly.

In this season, the in-form San Francisco 49ers defeated the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants in the encounters of the top teams, and lost to the Baltimore Ravens, achieving a record of two wins and one loss; But against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was tougher and more dangerous than the other three games.

Because, standing opposite the offensive group is the league's No. 1 defensive group, from running to passing, fully ushered in the "contradiction duel", even if the 49-man offensive group went all out, but still could not ensure the final victory, only by breaking the kettle and letting go, and firmly grasping every opportunity in the game, it is possible to find a chance to win.

What's more, the Steelers' offensive team is definitely not to be underestimated, even if the form is up and down, Big Ben still has the ability to beat any team.

This season, the Steelers played against the Arizona Cardinals, and the score was "32-20"; There was also a match against the New England Patriots, and the score was "25:17". The scores in both games are eye-catching, and the opponents are absolutely not to be underestimated, and it can also be seen from the side that at critical moments, Daben's heritage and talent are still the biggest uncertainties.

Someone once ridiculed the New York giants, "When you are strong, you are strong, and when you are weak, you are weak." In a sense, this is also suitable for the Pittsburgh Steelers, not to mention that the overall state of the Steelers this season is much better than that of the Giants, and it is even okay to describe it as "having the upper hand across the board".

In all respects, in this game, the San Francisco 49ers were the underdog. Perhaps, the only thing they have the upper hand now is home advantage. The match will be played at the Candlestick Stadium.

The three games the Steelers have lost so far are away to the Baltimore Ravens, away to the Houston Texans, and home to the Baltimore Ravens. Two of those games were lost on the road.

Of course, the season suffered a double kill by the Crows, which is also a pain for the Steelers this season.

However, the Steelers lost the game away from home with a score of "7:35", and the game they lost at home with a score of "20:23". The two stark contrasts can be seen that their form on the road is still inconsistent after all.

For the San Francisco 49ers, this is potentially good news that could be the difference between victory and defeat in the game.

This week is about to play against the league's top defensive team, Lu Ke's heart is not only not timid and fearful, but still enthusiastic and excited, and can't wait to stand on the court and fight against the top masters!

Win or lose, he will do his best, fight hard, show his strength to the fullest, and really test himself. The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If you want to climb the peak and achieve great things, then you must swim against the current, overcome one bump and setback after another, constantly polish yourself, and finally usher in the peak moment.

So, from a certain point of view, Jonathan Goodwin is right, Lu Ke is indeed a little overexcited, after Sunday's game, he began to gear up, eager to try, the first time to put into the preparation for the next game, and repeatedly began to study the game footage, early into the "challenge the Steelers" moment.

"Challenge", not "decisive battle".

Lu Ke still put himself in the position of the downwind ball, and attacked the opponent with a young and energetic attitude, just like every game in the past, sprinting towards victory step by step without being favored. If the entire league is more optimistic about the Steelers winning, it would be even better, and the 49ers and Lu Ke are destined to be the best candidates to create an upset!

So, this is where today's offensive forward meeting comes in.

On the one hand, Lu Ke wants to test the effect of the collective training skill package, so that the offensive front line can be truly integrated and meet the test of the Steelers head-on; On the other hand, Lu Ke hopes to prepare for the game as soon as possible, otherwise he will stay at home alone, and it is estimated that his blood vessels will burst.

But Lu Ke still took into account the harmony within the team, so he deliberately sent an email to all his teammates, and prepared relevant activities in the game room to really invite everyone to come to the party.

What if other players want to participate in the tactical meeting as well?

Although Lu Ke didn't think anyone would make such a request, he was still prepared to do both, and placed a small projector in the guest room on the second floor of the main house, which could provide the offensive group, defense group, and special service team to discuss tactics at any time. If someone is willing to prepare for the game in advance, Lu Ke will naturally welcome it with his hands and feet raised.

However, this space at this moment belongs to the attacking front.

In the face of Schneider's stunned and shocked, Lu Ke didn't have much to explain, and then retracted his gaze and began to discuss with Hachar again, "Now, let's take a look at this attack, this is a similar defensive model, but the effect of the offensive front line is very different, why?" ”

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ke switched channels again and selflessly entered the tactical discussion mode.

Schneider looked dazed, his focus and focus were a little blurred, and his brain seemed to be running out of action; Then, Goodwin snapped his fingers and caught Schneider's gaze, "Quick, concentrate, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with Bambi's rhythm, as for the degree of metamorphosis of this madman, it will be good after you get used to it." ”

Schneider nodded in a panic, took a quick deep breath, took a deep breath again, calmed himself down as soon as possible, and then cast his gaze towards Lu Ke, forcing himself to start preparing for battle.

As for the party? There are countless opportunities to party slowly in the future.

……

At this time, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team is in full swing to prepare for this week's game, they have realized the test they are about to face, and they have raised their heads and chests without flinching, ready to meet the challenge, and the vitality of the young players is on full display; At that time, all the eyes of the league were also projected, focusing on this game and starting the first round of warm-up early.

Why?

Because, this is a "war of contradictions"!

The team that currently ranks first in defense in the league plays the team that ranks third in the league in offense.

Before the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Green Bay Packers or the New Orleans Saints, or the Baltimore Ravens vs. the two teams, are now the best option for the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

Towards the end of the season, both teams have proven their worth and have delivered top performances this season, rather than the "theoretical matchup" that started the season, in other words, a real playoff-level matchup.

Especially after the 49ers lost to the Ravens away, facing the stronger Steelers again, what kind of form this young season dark horse will dedicate is highly anticipated.

Because, it's a "Monday Night Race"!

This week's Thursday night game is a divisional civil battle between the Atlanta Falcons and the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the former is 8-5 and the latter is 4-9, and the spark is too weak, although this game is about whether the Falcons can keep their playoff hopes alive, and although this game is a matchup of division rivals, it still has not enough attention.

Naturally, all eyes were on Monday night, which was definitely enough to blow up the entire league.

Furthermore, the San Francisco 49ers' last night game was suppressed by the Ravens throughout the game, which in turn sparked a frenzy of doubts in the league about "young teams are not good at playing on the big stage", so what about this time? What about the 49ers?

Because, this is a "playoff seeding matchup"!

In the National League, the San Francisco 49ers are temporarily behind the Green Bay Packers and are the second seed, but the New Orleans Saints are on their heels, with the two teams currently on the same record, and a win or defeat in either of the final three games could lead to a swap of positions between the second and third seeds.

The difference is that the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds have first-round byes, while the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds will have to face a wildcard team in the first round. It's a world of difference.

In the American League, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are two bitter rivals in the same league with a 10-3 record, and with both teams contending for a playoff spot on the one hand, and both teams contending for seeding on the other, the slightest negligence could lead to an entire season's efforts being wasted.

What's more, the Steelers and the Ravens are real mortal enemies, and neither will make the opponent feel better. This season, the Steelers suffered a double kill from the Ravens, and now they are still inferior in the playoff battle, and in the last three games, the Steelers are naturally going all out.

To sum it simply, for the 49ers and the Steelers, this is a game that both sides are unwilling and cannot lose.

For these reasons alone, the game itself is exciting, exciting, and hot enough to be projected by all the attention of the nation; What's more, there's more to focus on in this game!

Because, this is a "shocking bet showdown"!

A week ago, on ESPN's "Within the League" show, Charles Davis once again proposed a gamble that if the San Francisco 49ers can beat the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers in a row, then he will fulfill a punishment proposed by Lu Ke!

After the farce of "Across the Pacific", Charles became the laughing stock of the league, but before the scar was healed, he seemed to have forgotten the pain, and then made another gamble; At the same time, this time Lu Ke also responded positively to Charles's provocation, put forward a bet, participated in the gambling game, and created a tense atmosphere between the players and analysts, which is rare to see.

This time, things are getting more and more lively, and even Las Vegas has come over to join in the fun and add to the bet.
