	Rhein Fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rhein Fire is a franchise in NFL Europe, formerly the "World League of American Football".
		The Rhein Fire has arguably been one of NFL Europe's most successful teams with regard to both fan appeal and competitively on the field, where it has played for five World Bowl championships, winning in 1998 (over the Frankfurt Galaxy) and 2000 (over the Scottish Claymores).
		Established in Germany in 1995, depending on your view the franchise either was the resurrected and relocated Birmingham Fire of the 1991-1992 WLAF seasons, or was a new and separate franchise.

	World Bowl XI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the second quarter, after the Rhein Fire goofed a punt attempt, Frankfurt QB Quinn Gray led his team on a 3-play, 15-yard drive and he concluded it with a 10-yard pass to WR Marc Lester.
		Even though the Rhein Fire would finally respond with a 5-yard TD pass from Chris Greisen to Dwayne Blakely, it was too little, too late for the Fire.
		Then, on 4th and Goal, Fire center Dustin Keith fumbled the ball and Galaxy defensive tackle Daniel Benetka managed to recover the ball, preventing Rhein from another TD opportunity.

		Fire opened the scoring in the first quarter when Rollovich fired a 33 yard TD pass to Newsome as the defence was caught in poor coverage.
		Fire continued to move the ball and the clock as Denson ate up yards at will on the ground and once again poor tackling by the Claymores defense attributed to their downfall.
		Fire marched down the field with a fine mix of run and pass that the Claymores just couldnt work out and a pass interference in the endzone put the ball on the 1 yard line inside the final minute.

		Berlin's response to Rhein's touchdown was immediate as Husak hit Looker for 16 yards and White reeled off an 11-yard run to the Fire 35-yard line.

	AL MYATT: Vintage Logan provides the fire in Rhein opener
		Fire quarterback Drew Henson said that the reverse put his team right where it needed to be for their opening game.
		Rhein's first free agent draft choice was former ECU defensive tackle Ja'Warren Blair, who recorded 26 tackles and two sacks last season for the Amsterdam Admirals.
		Although Rhein managed just one score in a 10-6 win over Frankfurt, the manner in which the game's only touchdown was scored clearly had Logan's fingerprints on it.

		Pride fired up Rhein who had never been shut out in their history and they moved the ballto the Claymores five, but their hopes of a consolation were dashed when Swede, Jens Pettersson picked Griesen off in the endzone to round off an impressive day on both sides of the ball.
		Stemkes excellent punt put the Fire on their own 6 yard line and from their first play, the ball squirted out of Rolovitch's hands and bounced around in the end zone, Rolovitch batted the ball out of the back of the endzone just as Robinson was about to pounce and was credited with the safety.

		In Week 9, the Rhein Fire added another "W" to their record when they defeated the Frankfurt Galaxy 17-13 in front of 51,719 -- the third largest NFL Europe crowd in the history of the league and the largest since 1995.
		Rhein, Berlin and Amsterdam would all have split their season series if they end up tied after the final game (Amsterdam can only be involved in a tie if they gain revenge for last week's 41-10 loss to Berlin and therefore split their series).
		If the Fire lose and Amsterdam wins, there will be a three-way tie for second place which would be settled by tiebreakers (in order: head to head results, combined offensive/defensive rankings, overall points differential).

		But on a play-action pass deep in Fire territory, Campbell rolled right but his throw into the end zone intended for Moore was picked off by Rhein cornerback Therrian Fontenot, snuffing out what would have been a morale-boosting start to the second half for the Thunder.
		Rhein looked confident on their opening drive as Henson drilled a 20-yard strike to Samp before hitting Fredrick Jackson on a short screen pass which the weaving running back turned into a 33-yard gain.

		The Scottish Claymores, attempting to live up to early season hype, instead drowned under a downpour clad in purple, Rhein Fire casting further doubt on the World Bowl credentials of their guests with a comfortable 34-17 victory.
		Rhein had no such trouble, feeding the ball often to their impressive rusher Autry Denson who propelled the hosts into scoring range in the seventh minute.
		English-born receiver Scott McCready subsequently took a Stafford pass in the end zone for his second score but Abdual Howard's touchdown return for the Fire in the dying seconds served to emphasis that it was not raining, only pouring on the sodden Claymores.
