The Ravensburg Razorbacks (5-3) erased a 20-point deficit to defeat the Allgäu Comets (2-5) 42-35 in a chaotic German Football League showdown, fueled by a 28-point third-quarter explosion and a game-winning touchdown in the final minutes.
Comets dominate early with aerial assault
Allgäu quarterback Conor Regan carved up the Razorbacks’ secondary early, completing 33 of 45 passes for 391 yards and 4 touchdowns. Receiver Niccolo Formosa (8 catches, 143 yards, 1 TD) and tight end Dominik Hörner (5 catches, 72 yards, 2 TD) capitalized on mismatches, while running back Patrick Welte added a 5-yard rushing score. The Comets led 20-7 at halftime, aided by Ravensburg QB Broghean McGovern’s three interceptions.
Razorbacks’ dual-threat QB ignites rally
McGovern redeemed himself in the second half, accounting for 4 total touchdowns (2 passing, 2 rushing) and 341 passing yards. His 80-yard bomb to Aidan Enneking (4 catches, 109 yards, 1 TD) and a 40-yard strike to Tim Müller (7 catches, 117 yards, 1 TD) keyed the comeback. Running back Lennies McFerren sealed the win with a 1-yard plunge, capping a 35-7 run over the final 22 minutes.
Defensive chaos turns tide
The Razorbacks’ defense delivered two critical fourth-quarter plays: linebacker Nils Wulf returned an interception 30 yards to tie the game at 35-35, while pressure on Regan forced a late three-and-out to set up McFerren’s winner. The Comets’ red-zone miscues proved costly, including a missed PAT and Regan’s three interceptions.
Key statistical contrasts
- Ravensburg out-rushed Allgäu 146-112, with McGovern (13 carries, 82 yards) and McFerren (12 carries, 61 yards) dominating late.
