Musketeers shut down Surge – Storm stay undefeated

Sunday of Week 2 in the European League of Football brought two highlight games — and they couldn’t have been more different. While the matchup between Nordic Storm and the Wroclaw Panthers featured 61 total points, the battle between the Stuttgart Surge and the Paris Musketeers ended with only 6 points on the board.

Stuttgart Surge @ Paris Musketeers – 0:6

After a dominant Week 1 performance, many fans expected the Stuttgart Surge to win again in Week 2. But the Paris Musketeers, who already showed strong defense in their Week 1 loss to Rhein Fire, had other plans. Their offense had struggled before, but this time they did just enough.

Early in the game, it was clear what kind of battle this would be. The first four drives ended in punts. Only late in the first quarter did we see the game’s only points — a beautiful touchdown pass from Jaylon Henderson to Rémi Bertellin. What no one knew then: this would be the only score of the game.

Both teams played great defense and had strong special teams moments. There were punts, blocked field goals, and turnovers on downs, but no more points. The Surge offense — normally dangerous — struggled all game and couldn’t break through.

For Stuttgart, Week 3 brings another tough opponent: the Hamburg Sea Devils, who also shine defensively. With new quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, Hamburg will be a true test for Surge. Stuttgart’s goal remains clear: reaching the Championship Game in their own city, and they’ll need to bounce back quickly.

Paris, on the other hand, erased their rough Week 1 with this win. In Week 3, they face another strong team: Frankfurt Galaxy, who just won a shootout against the Bravos. The West Division, where both teams play, is already looking tight. After two weeks, the Surge, Musketeers, and Galaxy are all sitting at 1–1, while Cologne had their first bye week.

Nordic Storm @ Wroclaw Panthers – 40:21

The second early Sunday game was full of action. The Nordic Storm, playing without injured MVP Glen Toonga, still looked strong and explosive. After a close start, the Storm took over in the second quarter, scoring three touchdowns before halftime.

The Panthers tried to fight back and made it 20–14 in the third quarter. But the Storm offense, led by quarterback Jadrian Clark, kept pushing. Clark threw five passing touchdowns, and his connection with wide receiver Brendan Beaulieu was unstoppable — Beaulieu had 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Ludvig Myren also made key plays to keep the Panthers at a distance.

On the Wroclaw side, it was mostly DJ Irons doing the work. The American quarterback was involved in nearly all of the Panthers’ offense, collecting over 300 total yards. He received little help from the run game — running back Dawid Brzozowski had just three rushing yards. The defense had some strong individual performances, including AJ Wentland with 16 tackles, but overall, they couldn’t stop the Storm’s high-powered offense.

In Week 3, Nordic Storm will play their first-ever home game in ELF history — against the Berlin Thunder. With a 2–0 record, they’ll try to continue their strong start.

The Wroclaw Panthers now have a bye week. It’s a good chance to rest, analyze their mistakes, and prepare for their next opponent — the Prague Lions in Week 4.
