With the end of Monday night, all the games in the eighth week of the regular season have officially come to an end.

It's been another great week!

There is a London Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and the St. Louis Rams, which is officially calculated as the Rams' home court, and finally Tom Brady led the team to a hearty victory with "7:45"; There was also the second meeting of the season between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, the rivals in the same district, and in the end, the Giants took a victory away from the road and avenged the season opener defeat.

After returning from the Atlanta Falcons offseason, they defeated the Philadelphia Hawks away, also extending their unbeaten season and continuing to perform strongly; There was also the Pittsburgh Steelers who went south to Washington, giving the Redskins led by rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III a rookie shocking education, and walked away with a score of "12:27".

And, of course, there's the much-anticipated, over-the-top Sunday Night Race:

"Denver Broncos vs New Orleans Saints"!

"Peyton Manning vs Drew Bliss"!

Not only because it was a clash between two elite quarterbacks, but also because it was on the Super Bowl 44 final stage that Bliss defeated Big Manning to claim his and the New Orleans Saints' only Super Bowl trophy so far.

And because this season has been a season of redemption for two top quarterbacks, Big Manning has just been swept away by the Indianapolis Colts and returned from injury; Bliss will have to carry on the side that has been heavily penalized after the "bounty gate".

The clash between these two quarterbacks may not be as gimmicky as "Manning vs Brady", but there is no doubt that it will always be the focus of media and fans.

In the face of old rivals, Big Manning and the Broncos offensive team experienced an amazing growth momentum after the run-in pain period at the beginning of the season, and Big Manning showed excellent form, and finally led the Denver Broncos to a score of "34:14" at home, bringing the team's season record to four wins and three losses, and launched an attack on the playoff spots with a stronger attitude.

It can be seen that this week's fierce matchups are endless, especially at the halfway point of the season, all kinds of statistics and predictions are coming out, and the battle for a playoff spot will start the second phase of the bayonet encounter, which can be described as high/tidal and exciting; But in all the games, all the focus and all the buzz, the San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals Monday night game is one that can't be ignored -

Even the most important ones.

"University of Phoenix Stadium Tragedy: 0:55!"

This is the front page headline on the front page of ESPN's official website, as long as you open the website, you can see the huge and bright words at first glance, showing the shock and surprise without reservation——

Because this is the most disparity of the score so far this season, because the San Francisco 49ers have set a new team history, because of the grudge between these two sworn rivals in the same district last season, and because of the San Francisco 49ers, who are still unbeaten at the halfway point of the season.

A look at the headlines of other mainstream media outlets gives you a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg:

NFL Official Website: "San Francisco 49ers' victory continues!" ”

Associated Press: "The pace of making history is unstoppable, and Lu Ke will be the next elite quarterback?" ”

The New York Times, "Dark Horse? No, it's the rise of the next top quarterback! ”

"Los Angeles Times:" "Eight straight wins, undefeated season, strong league leads: San Francisco 49ers are writing an impossible comeback miracle." ”

The Washington Post: "The Red Horn is sounding again in the League, and the undefeated division that once ruled the entire League of Nations is back again!" ”

"San Francisco Chronicle," "We Won Again, 55:0." ”

Finally, there is a deafening headline from Yahoo Sports - "Who can beat the San Francisco 49ers?" ”

Of course, it's only halfway through the season, and the current unbeaten in addition to the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons, this is not a unique beauty; What's more, in the long season, it seems a bit too hasty to ask such a question now, and a little bit of confusion and negligence may be "milked" to death.

But what really surprised the major news outlets was the strength of the San Francisco 49ers.

The overall performance of the Western Region of the National League has been significantly improved, and the competition is far beyond imagination; However, the San Francisco 49ers faced the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals in back-to-back games, showing incredible dominance in both games, overcoming their form swings and delivering humiliating losses to their opponents.

You know, just two years ago, this team was struggling beyond the playoff threshold, and there was no end in sight to the long trough dark years. Last season's dark horse journey has shocked the whole league, and this season's king posture has made the league up and down, inside and out, unbelievable.

In fact, all analysts can detect that the young San Francisco 49ers still have fluctuations, especially in the receiving group and the special service group, which also means that they are not invincible under the pressure of a long season of winning streaks.

Even the 2007 New England Patriots, who were in their most mature and successful stage, were not able to persevere to the end of the perfect season, let alone the current immature San Francisco 49ers?

But it is precisely in this situation that the San Francisco 49ers gritted their teeth and defeated two sworn enemies in the same district in a row, showing the toughness of this season to the fullest. What's more, this is just the piece of the puzzle of the team's overall strength.

This season, the overall rise of the defensive group and the special service group has become the most significant feature of the first half of the season, and the current statistics of the three parts of the offense, defense and special service, the San Francisco 49ers all lead the league strongly; Moreover, the defensive and special service teams are also among the top three in the league in terms of scoring ability, and such a team really makes people feel "amazed" and "scared".

That's why Yahoo Sports listed such news headlines; And ESPN's headline became the best summary of the game: tragedy.

Whether it's a joke or a fool's errand, maybe for the media, they're just creating a news gimmick; But for ordinary fans and melon-eating people, the "Phoenix University Stadium Tragedy" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in another form, sweeping across the entire online platform.

No one should forget that this is a Monday night game.

From last week's Thursday night game to this week's Monday night game, the exposure of the San Francisco 49ers and Lu Ke is simply not too high, and the two consecutive sweeping games are really not friendly to neutral audiences, they still want to see more exciting matchups, and after the suspense of the victory and defeat is lost early, the enthusiasm for watching the game has also become uninteresting.

But it is precisely because of this that Lu Ke's continuous highlight performance has become more and more prominent and dazzling, and the brilliance has stolen all the focus of attention, according to Nielsen's sample survey, the viewership of these two games in the Asian community has increased by 467% -

Within the Asian American community alone, the game's ratings even surpassed last year's Super Bowl final.

Everyone is amazed, everyone is cheering, everyone is watching this, there is no doubt that this is a rising star in the alliance, and over time, Lu Ke's market appeal will bloom with greater energy, and he will also gain a lot of support and attention in other fields outside of the Asian American community.

At the very least, the NFL league has officially embraced all of this with an open mind.

In the eighth week of the regular season, the best offensive player in the National League, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Lu Ke; National League Defensive Player of the Year, New York Giants security guard Stevie-Bron; The best Special Duty Player of the Nations League, Green Bay Packers cornerback Davon-House.

American League Offensive Player of the Year, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady; American League Defensive Player of the Year, Denver Broncos lineback Esley-Oodyard; The best American League Crew-up player, Miami Dolphins lineback Olivier-Vernon.

Halfway through the season, the number of two-time players of the week is slowly growing, with Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, Aaron Rogers of the Green Bay Packers, and Charles Tilman of the Chicago Bears all joining the ranks.

But this week, Lu Ke took another step ahead and was named the best of the week for the third time this season, leading the league strongly, which can also be seen as a microcosm of the strong performance of the San Francisco 49ers this season.

Subsequently, ESPN's "Within the Alliance" did a half-way wrap-up special.

In the regular season MVP vote, ten analysts and commentators each selected a candidate, a total of six players got votes, Lu Ke, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, JJ Watt, etc., in the end, Lu Ke won three votes and was successfully elected as the halfway MVP of the show.

Although the sample size is too small, and it is only limited to the votes in the "within the league" program, it can still be felt from the side that Lu Ke's excellent performance in the first half of the season is still obvious to all, which has also won him a large number of supporters.

Not only the Asian community, but also the professionals in the industry, they are all comfortable with the fact that -

"Two-year syndrome" did not appear in this quarterback, on the contrary, after a year of foreshadowing and precipitation, Lu Ke is rapidly growing into a top player, and even has the possibility of going further.

Obviously, the sponsors have also shrewdly seized the business opportunity, and compared to other NFL players, Lu Ke has a unique advantage, because he is a unique existence in the entire league; Naturally, those sponsors and advertisements are like the tide of the Qiantang River, vigorously swarming towards Lu Ke, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping is definitely a long time gone, and it can even be said to be rare.

In the ninth week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason, and the second sponsorship promised by Lech was revealed.
