I don't know if ELF's rules differ, but in the NFL they excuse that penalty if you initiated a block at the line of scrimmage and were continuously blocking that player downfield at the time the pass was thrown. Otherwise a defender could intentionally drag an offensive lineman over the line in obvious passing situations. That may have actually been the intent here, at least after the DT got stood up so badly.
Agreed. Also, the whole highlight video was a step above what we usually get, including an announcer that actually knows how to sell the game to it's viewers.😎
Quality ELF action; the Musketeers continue to shock the League
Was there a wider angle to film the game ? Maybe we could widen it even more to see the Eiffel tour ?
Berlin is the almost team this year. Every game is an almost or an if only type situation
Super solid game in the ELF. Paris, hats off to your season!!!
PIty that the Musketeers aren't getting better attendance. They're my new favorites after the Rhein Fire.
attendance is absolutely FINE for year 2 of this team, no worries there
Jeez as a musks fan that was way too close...we gotta keep our composure even through garbage time
It was a great game, especially the second half
Barcelona would forfeit that half
I think the Td on the tush push should have been a flag #45 literally lifted the running back lol
It is shocking that the first Paris TD wasnt called back. No.65 OL block at 5 yard down. It was a clear inelegible men downfield penalty.

I like the helmet of the Musketeers.
Me too. Bad ass team name for a French team too.
Love these alternates for Paris, this would actually make an amazing look for them as the full time home unis

Berlin really can’t win in close games, it’s a shame since grit used to be the fortes of Berlin Football Players
