Fire dominates Musketeers, Ravens win turnover battle
It was expected to be an exciting game as the top two teams in the Western Conference, the Paris Musketeers and Rhein Fire, faced off. However, from the start, Rhein Fire was too strong for the Musketeers. The powerful passing game of quarterback Jadrian Clark and Rhein Fire's defense were clearly superior, preventing the Musketeers from ever finding their rhythm. Clark threw for 287 passing yards and four touchdowns. His favorite target was Kelvin McKnight Jr., who made 13 catches for an incredible 183 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 0-21 halftime lead for Fire was never in danger and was further extended in the second half. Musketeers' quarterback managed the only score for his team in the fourth quarter, but it didn't change the outcome.
After this loss, the Musketeers aim to bounce back with a win against the Berlin Thunder in Week 11. Rhein Fire will have their first bye week of the season in Week 11.
The Munich Ravens secured a decisive win against the Milano Seamen in a game dominated by turnovers. There were six turnovers in total, with four from the Seamen. The debut of their new quarterback, Eystin Salum, did not go as planned. The American threw four interceptions, allowing the Munich Ravens to score repeatedly from good field positions. Ravens' quarterback Chad Jeffries had another strong game. Despite two interceptions, he threw six touchdown passes, four of them to the standout player of the game, Malik Stanley. Since joining the Ravens, Stanley has consistently delivered impressive performances. The Ravens extended their halftime lead of 21-34 with strong plays in the third and fourth quarters, while the Seamen failed to respond after halftime.
In Week 11, the Milano Seamen will face another tough opponent, the unbeaten Stuttgart Surge, who are eyeing the playoffs. The Munich Ravens will travel to face the Prague Lions, who are still looking for their first win of the season.
