"We are! Niners! We are! Warriors!"

"Go! Go! Lions, let's go!"

"We are! Niners! We are! Warriors!"

"Go! Go! Lions..."

The entire Ford Field was filled with a continuous roar. Eardrums began to vibrate violently, and even their own voices lost their meaning. In the midst of the passionate shouts, all they could feel was the slight vibration of their eardrums. They had to rely on looking at others' mouths to confirm they were still on the right beat.

Madness, pure madness. The fans of the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers started cheering for their teams with a powerful momentum. They stood on the field, shouting and roaring at each other in succession, back and forth. But gradually, the Lions, who had the home-field advantage, were losing ground, becoming fragmented and retreating.

It was incredible.

After being renovated, Ford Field can now accommodate seventy thousand fans, just like Candlestick Park. However, due to the economic downturn in recent years and the fact that this is a city crazy about hockey, Ford Field's attendance has never reached its peak. This season's winning streak finally brought fans back to the stadium to support the Lions. Today, the stadium's attendance rate was over 90%, with around sixty-five thousand seats filled.

At least compared to Cincinnati, this attendance rate was more than satisfactory.

Among the sixty-five thousand fans, the north stands had completely become the home of the San Francisco 49ers fans. Approximately fifteen thousand people had come to Detroit specifically to cheer for their team on the road. Such a large number of fans for an away game was truly incredible. The remaining fifty thousand were all home fans, more than three times the number of away fans.

For some teams, even getting a home-field ticket is difficult. For example, the Green Bay Packers.

The waiting list for Green Bay Packers season tickets has a wait time of ninety years. Many families put their children's names on the waiting list as soon as they get their birth certificates, and season ticket holders must specify the ticket's heir in their will.

Of course, besides season tickets, there are still single-game tickets for sale for each game. However, since 1960, the Green Bay Packers' home stadium has maintained 100% attendance, a record that has not changed for half a century and is unique in the league.

So, even buying a single-game ticket in line at the stadium is an incredibly difficult thing. This is true for home fans, let alone away fans. You never see away fans at Lambeau Field.

In the entire NFL, there is only one Green Bay Packers.

Today at Ford Field, there were fifteen thousand away fans, which set a new record for the San Francisco 49ers since the millennium. After ten years, this young team is finally showing new vitality and an upward trend in every aspect.

Now, facing fifty thousand home fans, the San Francisco 49ers' fans erupted with an unimaginable momentum, as if a third of the fans were shouting, "We are!" and the remaining two-thirds were shouting, "Niners!" A third of the fans would again shout, "We are!" and the others would respond again, "Warriors!"

The sound wave created by the light and heavy, back and forth chants was so powerful it could shatter clouds and rocks. It completely suppressed the cheers of the Detroit Lions. It wasn't the volume but the magnitude of the momentum.

The Niners' cheers were simple, neat, powerful, and majestic. The rhythm was orderly and progressive, bringing an endless shock. On the other hand, the Lions' cheers seemed pale and uninspired, even weak. They couldn't form an effective counterattack. After years of a lack of support, the fans had also forgotten how to cheer effectively.

As a result, the Detroit Lions' cheers were interrupted. They were like a scattered mess, unable to form an effective confrontation.

Looking at each other, the Lions' fans finally came up with an idea: "Gridiron Heroes." This was the official anthem of the Lions. Every time the team was in a difficult situation, the fans would sing hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, becoming the strongest support for their team. Now was an emergency.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are now watching Week 6 of the NFL regular season, where the Detroit Lions are hosting the San Francisco 49ers. These two teams are currently ranked second and third in the league's official power rankings. One has five wins and zero losses, and the other has four wins and one loss. Now they need to do their best for this victory.

Without a doubt, this is the most anticipated and most exciting game of the week, and all eyes are on it. Now, with less than ten minutes to go before the game officially starts, Ford Field is already in a frenzy. The fans of both sides are not to be outdone and have started a showdown, cheering for their respective teams.

Who would have thought that the San Francisco 49ers, who are playing on the road, would have fans with such incredible energy, rivaling the home fans? The Niners have had a fantastic start to the season. They have found a quarterback who is leading their team back to greatness, and they are in great form.

But how can we forget that the Lions also seem to have found their leader, ushering in the best season opener in sixty years? So, this game is bound to be full of tension and is worth looking forward to."

Teddy and Kirk were still sitting in the broadcast studio, waiting for the game to be live-streamed.

It wasn't just Fox and ESPN's online live-stream. At this moment, more than thirty radio programs and countless online secondary broadcasting platforms were also paying attention to this game. The number of viewers sitting in front of their TVs and computers was countless.

According to later NFL official statistics, this game attracted a total of twenty-five million TV viewers, and the number of online viewers reached an incredible fifty million. The ratings among the eighteen-to-forty-nine age group—the age group most valued by advertisers and the main consumers—reached 19.3.

What do these numbers mean? Compared to other games, the viewership, ratings, and online discussion popularity of this game surpassed those of the Thursday night, Sunday night, and Monday night games of Week 6. It became the most-watched show in the entire US this week.

This wasn't a night game, but it was better than one. The level of attention was almost comparable to the Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day games.

In a way, the showdown between two young quarterbacks—surpassing the Week 3 matchup between Lu Ke and Andy Dalton—was a major reason for the attention from young people. In addition, Lu Ke, as an undrafted Chinese rookie, had successfully gained a foothold in the league. This was also a major factor. Everyone was curious, whether out of goodwill or malice.

Unexpectedly and unintentionally, this game attracted a lot of attention. Ford Field was just a small part of the fever pitch across North America.

Standing in the player tunnel, Lu Ke's heart began to soar. He could vaguely see the turbulent white sea and the boiling blue sea colliding, creating a surge of spray. But after his emotions peaked, he slowly calmed down, and a sense of calmness and composure took over his mind.

Ding, the mission arrived again as expected.

"Game Mission:

Complete a touchdown in an official game. Mission requirements: None. Mission rewards: Base points +1 for each touchdown.

Complete a rushing touchdown in an official game. Mission requirements: Complete at least one rushing touchdown. Mission rewards: Base points +2.

Complete passes to specified areas in an official game. Mission requirements: At least thirty yards on the left route, at least thirty yards on the middle route, and at least thirty yards on the right route. Mission rewards: Base points +1.

Control tactical areas in an official game. Mission requirements: Short passes must be used at least 30% of the time. Mission rewards: Base points +1.

Win the official game. Mission requirements: None. Mission rewards: Base points +3."

This time, the game missions had changed significantly. It actually required a rushing touchdown? And also required detailed passing to specific areas? The short pass usage had to be over 30%? This further increased the requirements for game control. Did he have to carefully think about these mission details before every pass?

The game missions were getting more and more difficult. But Lu Ke didn't have time to think deeply, as he immediately found another mission.

"Target Mission: Cultivate a quarterback's passing network.

Mission description: Before the end of the regular season, establish your own passing network and initially build a complete tactical system for a quarterback.

Mission requirements: Before the end of the seventeen-week regular season, the host must choose two passing targets to complete fifteen and ten touchdowns, respectively. Designated target one (0/15), designated target two (0/10).

Mission rewards: Training gift package +1; comprehensive training package +1.

Failure penalty: Base points deducted by fifteen; special points deducted by two; offseason training effectiveness reduced by 10%; offseason daily training missions increased by 20%; paparazzi resentment skill cooled down for thirty days."

Wait, what is a target mission? And what are these failure penalties?

But Lu Ke didn't have time to think about it, because the players were pouring out of the player tunnel, and the game was about to begin.

"We are! Niners! We are! Warriors!"

The San Francisco 49ers' fans stole the show. In the opponent's territory, they set off a white storm that swept across the entire stadium and echoed powerfully throughout the player tunnel, getting closer and louder.

No words or motivation were needed. Every 49ers player's blood began to boil. They had only one thought in their minds:

Go onto the field and fight to the end!
