They still need to reach and win the FWL Bowl but no team has ever gone 14-0, lets look how they did this...
Week 1 A Barcelona - Believe it or not the Dragons jumped out to a 14-0 lead before Amsterdam came back to win 24-21, Barcelona scored a late touchdown to make the score look close but the Admirals were in control after a rocky 1Q.
Week 2 H Paris - Amsterdam only led 13-6 entering the 4Q but two touchdowns gave them an easy 27-14 win over Paris.
Week 3 A Berlin - A rematch of last years EFC Championship, the score was 13-10 Amsterdam in the 4Q until a late touchdown pass in the final 5 minutes gave Amsterdam room to breathe and they won 20-10.
Week 4 H Rhein - A very close game as Rhein led 22-13 with 2 minutes left. Amsterdam converted a 4th & 17 to set up a touchdown and then won the game on Todd Frances 46 yard FG with 1 second left on the clock, 23-22 !
Week 5 A Raleigh-Durham - Raleigh led 17-14 entering the 4Q but once again Amsterdam were strong in the final period with two rushing touchdowns including one with 2 minutes left to seal it, to win 28-17.
Week 6 A Frankfurt - Late 4Q heroics again as Amsterdam trailed Frankfurt 20-14, a huge 4th down conversion to TE Kirk McMullen kept the drive alive and with 19 seconds left QB BJ Symons threw the winning touchdown as Amsterdam won 21-20.
Week 7 H San Antonio - Amsterdam scored early on to lead 14-0 in the 1Q but led only 14-6 in the 4Q, finally a safety and a FG gave them a 19-6 win.
Week 8 A London - In a very close game London led Amsterdam 12-10 until a late drive by Amsterdam gave them a 21 yard FG with 7 seconds left and a 13-12 win.
Week 9 A Scotland - A tough streak of games continued as they travelled to Scotland, the game was tied 16-16 until Amsterdam scored in the 4Q and then held off Scotland as the Claymores were stopped at the 3 yard line as time expired as they looked to force overtime, final score 23-16.
Week 10 H Austria - A close game yet again, Amsterdam hold off Austria 13-10, they led 13-7 at the half and were held scoreless by the DarkKnights but Amsterdam limited Austria to just 3 second half points.
Week 11 A Montreal - The Admirals put the nail in Montreals coffin with this win. Amsterdam led 24-7 until Montreal scored two late 4Q touchdowns to make the score respectable, 24-21.
Week 12 A Rhein - Amsterdam played poorly and trailed in the first half 7-0, finally they exploded for 17 4Q points and scored again in the 4Q to lead comfortably until Rhein scored a late consolation touchdown, final score 24-13.
Week 13 H Frankfurt - A huge test against Frankfurt at home, the Admirals trailed 9-7 until FB Joe Haro scored a late 4Q touchdown with 1:05 left in the game. Frankfurt were driving but were intercepted and the Admirals won 13-9
Week 14 H Berlin - Amsterdam became the first team in FWL history to go 14-0 as they easily defeated Berlin 37-16 as HB Joe Smith scored on an 80 yard touchdown run and QB BJ Symons threw 2 touchdowns.
As you can see Amsterdam had a hard time going to 14-0, they won several games late, some huge 4th down conversions and great play from their kicker but the team are an incredible 14-0.
