Paris Musketeers @ Frankfurt Galaxy | Match Grading | EFA Week 1, 2026

Paris Musketeers 21- 20 Frankfurt Galaxy

I love the idea of a grade system for games so we can keep track of the best (and worst) of all time. I don’t want to limit this to a per-league basis; it’s all fun and subjective. We are using a star system with 7 categories, then calculating the average for our total score. There is room to change categories in the future if needed. Finally, there will be a few bullet points, if needed, to explain why we have given a certain grade.

Offensive Performance - 2*

• Paris failed to convert on the goal line with four attempts.

• Galaxy did not kick a game-winning field goal; instead, they failed on 4th-and-goal from the 1.

• 2 Fumbles.

• 2 INTs.

Defensive Performance - 4.5*

• 4 takeaways.

• Many great pass deflections.

• Both teams fantastic on the goal line.

• Tons of sacks.

• Galaxy defence did seem tired on the past Paris drives.

Ref Performance - 4*

• I agreed with the 4th-and-goal failure by the Galaxy.

• They recognised the red flag and changed the call.

• Picked up flags and didn't waste a bunch of time.

• Wasn't a fan of the illegal-man-downfield call.

• Galaxy fans are very mad, but I think they did a solid job.

Commentary (English) - 2*

• I am very happy we have two on the broadcast.

• They did not know the French names well

• Called a pick 6 as wrong as possible by hyping up the safety for the other team while Mason Chambers returned the Pick 6.

  
  

Big Moments/Game Drama - 5*

• We had a missed kick and two blocks.

• The score was always close.

• Galaxy bottled a 13-point lead.

• Goal line stands were cinema.

• Very exciting game all the way through.

Individual Performances - 3.5*

• QB play was rusty; both Edwards and Garbers looked like they were shaking off the dust a bit.

• Jack Loew, Mamadou Sy and Yani Gouadfel were fantastic for Paris.

• So many drops, Dosso and Foster struggled with that the whole game.

• Louis Achaintre had some costly flags. Dosso also took a TD off the board with a foul.

Ending - 4.75*

• Amazing 4th QTR.

• Garbers fumble.

• Edwards and Tekedam for a great drive.

• Blocked kicks.

• Final goal line stand to win the game.

Overall Score - 3.67*

A fun, close defensive performance with a great ending. Offensive units couldn't get started. Enjoyable watch.
