Paris QB Henderson: "Our goals are still in front of us"

Win and you are in. It might be the best phrase in sports. That’s exactly the road ahead for the Paris Musketeers as they have one game ahead of them with their season on the line. 

Their opponent is a familiar one, the 10-1 top seeded Vienna Vikings await them in the Austrian capital Saturday night at 18:00. 

For the Vikings they can secure the top seed with a win over Paris and knockout the Musketeers. While Jack Del Rio and his French squad are either in the playoffs with a victory or they will be watching the post season from home. 

A one game season

With the pressure mounting, the Musketeers have been busy this week preparing for their biggest game of the season. For quarterback Jaylon Henderson he and his squad feel confident heading into the climax of the regular season. 

“We feel great, most of the goals we have set forward for us are still in front of us, Vienna is a really good team, so we’re preparing to play a hard fought physical game.”

The last time Vienna and Paris played back in Week 9, the Vikings escaped the French capital with a 40-33 win in a shoot out. Henderson ran for over 100 yards and had 3 total scores. For the Musketeers QB this week is about avoiding turnovers and making the right play with consistency. 

“I think against their defense our strength is taking what they give us, not forcing the ball in tough situations. We also need to execute the game 1 play at a time.”

Undeniable talent

The Musketeers have had an up and down season with a 7-4 record. However the talent on the team is undeniable, every team besides the Vikings they have lost too, they have also beat. Whether it's All-Stars like Austin Mitchell, or homegrown talent like Souleyman Karamoko the Musketeers are  a dangerous team to get in the playoffs. 

“This team is a group of guys that are probably the most talented in all of Europe. With great coaches, and great management. If we can put all the pieces together and play as a unit up to our standard, it will be tough for teams to beat us.”
