LIVESTREAM: Czech Republic – Ostrava Steelers @Prague Black Panthers, May 1, 3p (9a EST)

AFI | American Football | 05/01/2018

The 2-0 Prague Black Panthers welcome the Ostrava Steelers (2-1) to Prague in a rematch of the 2017 Czech Bowl championship which Prague won 28-0..

The Black Panthers have opened the season in dominant fashion outscoring opponents 97-3 in two games. The Steelers 2-1 record hides a loss to the Prague Lions who the Black Panthers trounced in the opening game of the season.

Prague head coach Daniel Levy will rely on quarterback Jan Dundáèek who has thrown for 290 yards and seven touchdowns in two games while rushing for another 91 yards. Running back William Young is the second leading rusher in the Czech league with 142 yards and two touchdowns. Jan Štiegler is the leading receiver for Prague with 181 yards on 10 receptions.

For the Steelers, the situation is more vague. Apparently, running back and offensive coordinator Luke Wildung has left the club and moved to the Brno Alligators. The starting quarterback has not been named as yet but speculation is that head coach Garrett Griffeth may step in if either Alan Kosniovsky or Michal Dudek cannot play. Running back Dominik Dvorský is third in rushing with 136 yards in the two games he has played.

With a depleted roster, the Steelers will be hard pressed in today’s matchup against a Black Panthers team that seems to be in mid-season form.
