The Prague Lions rebounded from a tough loss to the Pardubice Stallions by defeating the Usti nad Labem Blades 45:17 in the last game of the regular season.  The scoring was back and forth for most of the first half, but the Lions managed to pull away in the second half.  The last touchdown of the game was a 52 yard touchdown pass to Marek Suchy from Mike Hayes.  That touchdown pass was Hayes’ 39th touchdown pass of the regular season, which surpasses the league record of 38 touchdown passes set by former Prague Lions QB Matt Silva in 2016.
