Raiders Tirol 16 - 39 Nordic Storm


Score doesn't tell the full story here.

Offensive Performance - 3.5*


  • Krajewski had a pick before the half and in the 4th. Clark also had a pick towards the end of the 3rd and a colder start to the game.

  • Almeida with some drops.

  • I will always love Marco Schneider.

  • Nordic pulled away in the second half, but were cold to start.

  • Roberto Miranda is an absolute killer.



Defensive Performance - 3.5*


  • Maceo Beard with his first interception of the season. Bryant with his first too (most likely DROTY if we ever find out the ROTY criteria)

  • Raiders looked improved with some pressure on Clark and an overall more energetic display.

  • The middle of the field was veing targetted a lot.

  • Ludvug Myren was awesome to watch, plays in the backfield on the run, pass pressures, coverage moments, tackles, everything.


Ref Performance - 3.5*


  • Inoffensive, a few calls that were not the best, but I don't think it was overall anything egregious.

  • I like how they kept their flag in their pockets with the deep shots. Some diving from receivers all the way through, and refs weren't having it.



Commentary (English) - 5*


  • Both commentators did a fantastic job.

  • Really brought passion and a lot of knowledge of Europe to the broadcast.

  • I can always praise doing commentary in a second language, and they both did it seamlessly.



Big Moments/Game Drama - 3.5*


  • The Raiders Tirol had it close throughout the first half and could have been in the lead in the 3rd if not for costly turnovers in the 2nd.

  • Nordic scored late to extend the score, but it was still only a 9-point game in the 4th.



Individual Performances - 4*


  • Just how good is Roberto Miranda? Looks like an all-star right now.

  • Nordic defensive backs played well: Beard, Bryant, Glenna, Fettig and Jumilson.

  • Myren was excellent.

  • Marco Scheider also had a great game.


Ending - 2*


  • Nordic dominated the 4th and pulled away.

  • Raiders just ran out of steam.



Overall Score - 3.57*


The Raiders were 100% in this game until the 4th. Couldn't keep the offence moving, and the defence got tired.



Games MVP - Roberto Miranda


  • A score in the 4th to seal the win.

  • Key chunk plays.

  • Showed his D1 pedigree.
