The NFL Europa teams of Adam Stenavich (Amsterdam) and Carlton Brewster and Tim Goodwell (Berlin) both lost heartbreakers this past weekend in Week 8.
Stenavich, who missed two games with a foot injury, returned to the starting lineup at left guard and helped the Admirals roll up 300 yards of offense and 38 points, but Amsterdam lost to the Rhein Fire, 41-38.
Meanwhile Brewster had three catches for 36 yards, and Goodwell started at linebacker and recorded four tackles and one pass defensed, but Berlin surrendered three fourth-quarter touchdowns to Frankfurt in the final 10 minutes to lose, 25-22.
Brewster's long catch, a 20-yarder, converted a third-and-17 for the Thunder. Goodwell made all four of his tackles in the first quarter, on Frankfurt's first two drives.
Frankfurt now leads the league with a 6-2 record.
Cologne and Hamburg are the two teams right behind Frankfurt, at 5-3. Safety Alvin Nnabuife came off the bench for Cologne to record two tackles and force a fumble, but Hamburg won the game, 21-7.
The forced fumble was a critical turnover, as Cologne stopped Hamburg as it was nearing the red zone late in the second quarter. Cologne could not convert the turnover into points, however.
