NFL Europe Week 5 Preview

040904davis_a.jpg



The league's only undefeated team, the Berlin Thunder, will put their 4-0 record on the line when they host the Amsterdam Admirals (2-2) Sunday as NFL Europe enters Week 5.

Led by quarterback Rohan Davey (New England) -- the leading passer in NFL-E -- the Thunder topped the Admirals 28-17 in their first meeting in Week 2, and now have sole possession of first place in the standings.

Packers tight end Tony Donald will look to be a factor in ending Berlin's perfect streak, coming off a team-high 5-reception, 55-yard performance last week.

The Scottish Claymores (0-4) will look to end their winless streak Sunday when they host the Rhein Fire (2-2), who have lost their last two games since opening the season with a 2-0 record. The game will be broadcast live on DirecTV at 8 a.m. CT, with a delayed broadcast airing on NFL Network at 7 p.m. CT.

Packers wide receiver Shockmain Davis leads the Fire in kickoff returns with nine attempts for 241 yards (26.8 avg.), including a 93-yard return for a touchdown in Week 1, earning NFL-E co-Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

Coming off their first win in franchise history, the Cologne Centurions (1-3) will look to continue their winning ways against the Frankfurt Galaxy (3-1), Saturday. The Galaxy, last year's World Bowl champions, suffered their first loss of the season last week at the hands of the Admirals with a 21-17 overtime defeat at home. NFL Network will air the game live at noon CT, and will replay the game at 7 p.m. CT.
