Packers wide receiver Carlton Brewster quickly gained some attention with his season-opening performance in NFL Europa this past weekend.

Brewster caught seven passes for 95 yards in helping the Berlin Thunder post a 15-3 victory over the Rhein Fire on Saturday night.

Brewster's reception total was tied for the league-high in Week 1, while his yardage total ranks second, just 5 yards off the pace set by Scott McCready of Hamburg. Brewster recorded almost exactly half of Berlin's 189 receiving yards in the game.

In the second quarter, Brewster opened a drive with a 37-yard reception from quarterback Travis Lulay. Later in that same drive he added a 12-yard catch, but the promising march ended in a missed field goal.

In the third quarter, a 15-yard reception by Brewster converted a third-and-7 and led to a 50-yard field goal to give the Thunder an 8-3 lead.

Brewster also had a 3-yard catch in the fourth quarter that came one play before Lulay ran 61 yards for the game-clinching touchdown. Later in the fourth, Brewster caught an 11-yard pass to convert a fourth-and-4.

Among other Packers in NFL Europa, offensive lineman Adam Stenavich started at left guard for Amsterdam in the Admirals' 30-14 loss to Frankfurt. Amsterdam's offensive line paved the way for 14 rushes for 72 yards (5.1 avg.) and allowed two sacks in 38 pass attempts.

Brewster's Berlin teammate Tim Goodwell did not play, and neither did Cologne's Alvin Nnabuife, who is listed as the team's backup strong safety. Rhein cornerback Antonio Malone is on injured reserve.

NFL Europa play continues this weekend, with all games televised on NFL Network, beginning with a tape-delayed broadcast of Rhein vs. Amsterdam at 8 a.m. (CT) on Saturday. The Frankfurt-Cologne matchup will be shown live at 11 a.m. (CT) Saturday, while the Hamburg-Berlin game can be seen on tape-delay at 11 p.m. (CT) Sunday.
