030417unertl_a.jpg



Two Green Bay Packers will look to remain undefeated as NFL Europe moves into its third weekend of competition Saturday.

Members of the Frankfurt Galaxy (2-0), punter Tim Morgan and safety Jeremy Unertl will look to help their team to a 3-0 start, hosting the winless Berlin Thunder (0-2) Saturday at noon CT.

Morgan proved vital in the Galaxy's victory last week, punting seven times for a 42.1 average and recovering an onsides kick en route to NFLE Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Unertl contributed three tackles and broke up a pass from Packers quarterback Craig Nall of the Scottish Claymores.

Nall leads the NFLE with 415 yards passing through two games. His Claymores (1-1), including Packers safety Bobby Jackson and linebackers Isaac Keys and Jermaine Petty, face off Saturday against the Rhein Fire (1-1), televised live to United States audiences on Fox Sports Net at noon CT.

Packers wide receiver Travis Williams will be in action with the Amsterdam Admirals (1-1), who meet the Barcelona Dragons (1-1) Saturday at 10:30 a.m. CT.

After being held without a catch in Week 1, last week Williams made two grabs for 27 yards.
