NFL Network is broadcasting World Bowl XIV live right now.
It's my favorite NFL Europe team, the Amsterdam Admirals, versus the Frankfurt Galaxy.
It started at noon eastern & right now there's ten minutes left in the 4th quarter & the Galaxy are winning 12-7.
Frankfurt has possession & are milking the clock down to victory.
C'mon Amsterdam. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. They have a Safety named Atari Bigby.
---
Frankfurt just got a field goal. There's 4 minutes left & the lead now is eight points, 15-7. Things aren't looking too good.
---
Allen to Fulton, first play, first down & a marvelous catch & a first down.
Handoff to Charger Larry Croom who broke through the secondary & was going all the way for a TD, but he stumbled because he got ahead of his feet. Damn! Another first down though.
Allen to Lucas. Great catch & yet another first down. They are now inside the twenty-five.
Oh shit, Allen just got buried by a blitz. One of their linemen, King, got injured on the play trying to prevent the sack. They lost eleven yards.
After at least five minutes, he's still down on the field & only just now being carried off in a stretcher. Ouch!
Damn, the whole rosters of both teams & an ambulance are down on the field. They say King is conscious though & that he's been able to move his arm & legs, so at least that's a good sign.
Well, the Admirals did have some momentum going. The ambulance is still on the field & this had been at least a twenty minute delay now whioch is the longest interruption of game due to an injury that I've ever witnessed.
2nd & 21. Allen takes off with the ball himself & gets the 10 yards back, but just a yard short of a first.
3rd & 11. Allen goes for the end zone & no reception & no flags. This is about over now.
4th & 11...same thing. that one was really close, but the game is, for all intents & purposes, over now.
The Galaxy get the ball back with less than two minutes & instead of running out the clock they go all out adding insult to injury (literally) with a few big plays & get yet another touchdown to officially make this one a 22-7 rout.
