Keno Atkins stood in place, sweat sliding down in large drops, his face full of unwillingness and resentment, but in the end it was useless and helpless.

In the attack just now, his attention was highly concentrated, and he was not affected by Lu Ke's wrong kick-off rhythm in the slightest, and launched a surprise attack accurately, hitting the players on the offensive front line at the first time and breaking through; But before the action could be completed, I saw Marcus Lynch moving laterally in my sight, which drew attention.

In the strong impact of the offensive front player, his vision was a little blurry and confused, he was not sure, but he vaguely saw Lu Ke retract his right hand at the last moment, and did not complete the pass of the rugby, and then Lu Ke began to run the ball, but when his brain came back to his senses, he saw the rugby in Lynch's arms-

But it was too late, because Lynch had already broken through the two-layer wall of offensive and defensive fronts, and his feet did not stop, and he walked away. Then, he could only watch as Lynch completed a running touchdown.

After all, they still have a bad move. It's hard to imagine that they had four quarterbacks in the back and forth today, in addition to four crashes and three hasty shots, but still couldn't stop the San Francisco 49ers' rookie quarterbacks from scoring, and they were all down, this feeling of humiliation is really terrible.

Before the game, they were expecting a hearty victory. Their defensive group, the form is on the rise; Their offensive group, led by Andy Dalton, was well organized; In the last two games, two tough battles in a row, they have won one and lost one, but they have boosted their morale and confidence.

But...... But that's competitive sports. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the one who has the last laugh is the stronger one after all. What's more, in today's game, the opponent's offensive group played really better.

The accumulation of advantages is little by little, in the first three quarters of the game, the two sides seem to be entangled, and the San Francisco 49ers have repeatedly only had a small advantage; But after slowly accumulating, it exploded in the fourth quarter, and then the gap between the two sides widened, and the Tigers couldn't keep up with the rhythm on both the offensive and defensive ends.

The last running touchdown was actually a microcosm of the whole game. It seems to have cut off the last glimmer of hope, but in fact it was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

With a long, long exhale, Atkins raised his head and looked at Lu Ke not far away, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth. In today's game, Atkins really got a glimpse of what the "rookie quarterback" is capable of, and he knows that the rookie has won two in a row – three in a row – and it's definitely not a fluke.

Atkins was not only undeterred, but even more confident. What Lu Ke can do, so can he; He proved his quality today and he needs to be more committed and harder in the next training sessions to win his place on the pitch. It's like the Chinese quarterback on the other side!

Retracting his gaze and turning, Atkins took a step and left the pitch. In this game, the Cincinnati Tigers have lost, there is no suspense, the game is over, but life goes on, the regular season goes on, and this is still not the end of the world.

Yes, the game is over, the winner is decided. After completing the touchdown again, after completing the extra points again, the score has come to "10:31".

With two minutes and eleven seconds left on the clock, the Tigers still have 131 seconds to go, with three timeouts to go, plus an official timeout, and they still have a chance to score a touchdown.

However, the difference between the two sides is 21 points, and even if they win a touchdown and get two additional points, it will take three possessions to catch up with the score difference. One hundred and thirty-one seconds, unless there is magic that can turn back time, even Peyton Manning and Aaron Rogers will not be able to return to the sky.

Not only the players, but also the fans are well aware of this.

After Marcus Lynch's long-distance run to complete the touchdown, the home fans began to leave the stadium one after another, not waiting for the extra points to play, let alone the next wave of the Tigers' attack; However, there are still a handful of fans who remain in the stadium to cheer on the future of their young team, hoping that they will not be affected by this defeat, and the season is still long.

In stark contrast to the frustration of the home fans, the away fans have begun to celebrate uncontrollably, hooking their shoulders and singing loudly to celebrate their yet another victory; They don't seem to be used to winning yet, and this is their third win in a row of the season, but they are still cheering hoarsely like the first.

The atmosphere at Paul Brown Field, where heaven and hell completely complete the reversal. At the same time, there was also a jaw-dropping commentary, sighs and stunned, countless mixed emotions, different, it is conceivable that after the end of the regular season this week, it is bound to be another news storm.

San Francisco 49ers, win again!

In such an atmosphere, after the Cincinnati Tigers' offensive group came on the court again, Dalton was still in good spirits and tried to lead the team to attack, but the Tigers' offensive team players had no intention of fighting, and hastily passed the ball three times, succeeded once, failed twice, failed to get the first attack, and the strikeouts were out, which also means that the San Francisco 49ers only need to kneel on the ground, and the game can be over.

As a result, the coaches and players of the Cincinnati Tigers did not struggle anymore and walked into the court one after another, which was equivalent to conceding defeat directly. This is the end of the competition.

In the third week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers played away against the Cincinnati Tigers, defeated their opponents again, and won three consecutive victories!

Lu Ke had just sat down, and he didn't have time to drink saliva, and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, so he could only put down the kettle again, stand up quickly, join his teammates, walk into the field, meet with the opponent, and shake hands with each other.

In the midfield area, Lu Ke and Andy Dalton met. It was the first time the two had met since rookie camp, and technically speaking, they hadn't spoken to each other during the camp; But at this time, when they meet on the court, it still feels a little different: because they are all rookies this year.

It's like alumni, they're all graduates of the same class. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they are still closer to each other than others. What's more, in the entire league now, rookie quarterbacks can start, and these are those four people.

"It was a great game today." Dalton was the first to speak, holding Lu Ke's right hand and bumping each other's shoulders.

Lu Ke showed a friendly smile, "At least, we all worked hard until the last moment. It can be seen that even at the last moment, Dalton still does not want to give up, even if he already knows the outcome in his heart. In fact, the last attack was not about strength or talent, but about the attitude of the game.

At this point, Dalton won Lu Ke's respect.

Lu Ke's words made Dalton's eyes light up slightly, "Then continue to work hard together!" "For a rookie quarterback, every week is a stage for self-proof, and every week is never to be taken lightly.

Of the current four rookie quarterbacks, only Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers doesn't have to worry about his starting position, the whole team is rebuilding around him, and the team and fans have given him enough time to slowly adjust to the rhythm of the league, which is the privilege of the champion, but it is also the privilege he has earned through his performance in the college game.

As for the other three quarterbacks, Lu Ke, Andy Dalton and Brian Garbert, all three are on their own teams and face a fierce battle for starters.

Gabbert only took the starting position this week; Dalton started two games together and only played a full game for the first time this week; Lu Ke benefited from the injuries of the other two players and temporarily played three games, and then he also needs to face competition.

Looking at Dalton's confident expression, Lu Ke also nodded emphatically, "Let's see who falls behind first." The words full of ritual, but said in a mocking tone, things suddenly became interesting, and people couldn't help but laugh.

Turning around, Lu Ke was about to leave, when a call came from behind him, "Lu Ke!" Before he could turn around, there was a heavy slap on the shoulder, and then he saw Atkins' sweaty face, even steaming, looking like a monk meditating on a steamer, and the picture was really joyful.

"Congratulations!" Atkins stretched out his right hand and said generously.

Lu Ke held Atkins' right hand and replied solemnly, "Can I refuse?" Today's four grapples, I'm really not in a good mood right now. ”

Atkins was stupid, and he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Lu Ke was serious. The joke didn't work, so the scene became awkward, Lu Ke blinked, "I mean, it's an honor to be able to fight you on the field!" ”

Atkins still didn't understand what Lu Ke's previous sentence meant, but he didn't continue to dig deeper, "I hope this season, there will be a chance to fight." "In football, the schedule is special, and if the 49ers and the Tigers play again, it can only be the playoffs.

Lu Ke immediately understood, chuckled, and then solemnly retracted his palm, and held Atkins' right hand again, "Of course, I'm also looking forward to it!" ”

After paying his respects, Atkins didn't pause, turned and left.

Looking at the back of Atkins leaving, Lu Ke was a little envious of the footballer at this time, exchanging jerseys, showing respect, and keeping it as a souvenir, which is a good idea; But in rugby, they still have armor inside their jerseys, which is very troublesome to put on and take off, and there is no rule for exchanging jerseys on the field.

"Bambi! Bambi! Not far away, the shouts of his teammates could be heard, and Ted Jean was waving vigorously, "Let's go over and thank the fans!" They came to Cincinnati, and it wasn't an easy task. ”
