Prague Black Panthers @ Danube Dragons

The game started quickly with a 7:0 lead by the Black Panthers, which was the last that we heard from them. 

After that the dragons locked in and startet throwing hit after hit. The dragons quarterback said it himself: „the runningbacks made my job and the job of the receivers way easier.“

In the end the Dragons won 42 to 7.

Vienna Vikings @ Graz Giants

This game was exciting from the start. The Giants dominated the Vikings in every game they played this season and were expecting to do the same this time. The Vikings were determined to show what they had in store.

The first quarter ended with a score of 0:0 which showed exactly how good both of the defensive teams are.

In the second quarter the Vikings finally scored a touchdown and followed it up with a two-point conversion. They stayed in the lead for the rest of the game.

The Vikings changed their quarterback right before this game. They cut Aaron Ellis and signed a D-3 player with the name of Russel Minor-Shaw. Aaron Ellis definitely has the size to be a double threat quarterback, but the coaches never really took advantage of that, which changed with the recruitment of Russel. He took the offence to multiple first-downs with trick and option plays with the runningback.

The AFC Vienna Viking’s won the game with a score of 22:10.
