To start, the Lions boast the best run-defense in the league, holding opponents to just 49.2 yards per game on the ground, while allowing 18 points per game. Halfway through the season, Braunschweig has fashioned an impressive record despite the loss to Potsdam. Braunschweig New Yorker Lions Munich Cowboys, July 22, 16:00 CET (4 pm, 10 am EDT) Wenz is the fifth leading rusher in the league in terms of average yards per game with 77.3. The Munich ground game has carried them with workhorse Felix Wenz leading the way with 309 yards rushing and three touchdowns so far. For any hope of success today against their tough Northern opponent, the Cowboys need to protect Sottilare and give him time to find his receivers, in particular Austin Upshaw (314 yds, 1 TD) and Lorenzo Thompson (63 yds, 1 TD) as well as tight end Manuel Hutter (80 yds).
His two predecessors, Manuel Engelmann and Luca Raue had thrown for a combined 479 yards and two touchdowns in the previous four games. Veteran Justin Sottilare started the last two games and thrown for 369 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions. The Cowboys quarterback situation has been their biggest issue with three quarterbacks having started in the six games. They had won five in a row prior to that game.
The Lions are coming off their first loss of the season after dropping a 40-33 decision to the Potsdam Royals in their final game before the break.
They had lost four in a row prior to the win. Most recently, Munich slipped past the Mercenaries 24-21 just before the break. The Cowboys have struggled this year having won just two games, both against the lowly and winless Marburg Mercenaries. © 2023 New Orleans Saints.As one of only two games on the German Football League schedule this week, the Braunschweig New Yorker Lions (5-1) travel south to Munich to take on the Munich Cowboys (2-4) in an interdivisional matchup.
