Packend, hochklassig, dramatisch: Es war der größte GFL-Bowl seit 14 Jahren. Nur die Football-Krone blieb nicht in Dresden.

Overview

  • Dresden led 23:16 at halftime, but starting quarterback Justin Miller—already playing with a broken left hand—injured a finger on his right hand and did not return, according to reports.
  • Potsdam overturned the deficit with decisive fourth-quarter touchdowns to retain the championship.
  • The final drew 22,016 spectators at Dresden’s Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, the largest German Bowl crowd since 2001.
  • The Royals became the fourth club to win three straight German titles, while Braunschweig remains the all-time leader with 12.
  • Dresden officials are holding talks to keep Miller for next season, and the AFVD president said the city and the league have expressed interest in staging future finals in Dresden.
