Players of the Week – Week 5
As the last car leaves the parking lot and the stadium lights dim, we close another chapter in our SFL History books. This week was filled with top-flight performances that made an impact on the field and on the outcome of the games played. We have gathered a handful of players that deserves this prestigious award and now the time has arrived, for our picks for Week 5.

He also has a completion rate of 82.35% and his longest pass was 30 yards and a QBR of 101.3. Even though he had 2 interceptions, that still didn’t have an effect on the outcome of game. Congrats Josh on a job well done!
