This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Joshua Rodriguez Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Nuview Bridge got the W thanks in part to Joshua Rodriguez playing the best football he has all season. Rodriguez rushed for 88 yards and three TDs on only seven carries, and also picked up 91 receiving yards and a pair of scores. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Desert Chapel had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rodriguez it was a similar story. Rodriguez rushed for 157 yards and one touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 132 yards and a pair of TDs the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in August of 2024.
