In addition to these three awards, the AFL is also highlighting the player who makes the best Catch of the Week, the Playmaker of the Week and the Highlight of the Week. The Cutters Catch of the Week Award for Week 16 goes to Cleveland wide receiver VICTOR WILLIAMS, while Jacksonville quarterback BERNARD MORRIS has been named the Playmakers of the Week.

JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK

Hughley (5-8, 175, Averette) was a vital component in the third road victory for the Talons this season, clinching the Southwest Division. Hughley registered one touchdown for the Talons in the second quarter. In the fake extra point attempt, Hughley exploded through Alabama's defense, scoring a two-point conversion. Later in the fourth quarter, Hughley added his second touchdown of the night with a 34-yard reception. Hughley boosted his individual rankings with four kickoff returns for 116 yards, claiming the third spot in total kickoff returns (1,371) and all purpose yards (2,484) this season. Oklahoma City's Xavier Lee is an honorable mention for Ironman with one rushing, passing and receiving touchdown against Cleveland.

RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Rowley (6-1, 205, Brown) battled the Barnstormers to give Spokane its tenth straight win this season. With a 70 percent completion rating, Rowley threw for 299 yards and six touchdowns, surpassing the single season Spokane franchise record for touchdown passes (89). In the first quarter, Rowley rushed for a 9-yard touchdown, gaining a 13-0 lead. This was also Rowley's fourth straight game without an interception.

RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Reid (5-10, 180, Houston) threatened Chicago's offense throughout the night with a spectacular ending for the Vigilantes. The epic moment came in overtime when Reid caught his second interception of the night, returning it for the winning 50-yard touchdown. Reid's first interception came in the first quarter and lead to an offensive touchdown. The shocking night ended well for Reid with three pass breakups and 8.5 tackles in the 65-52 upset road victory.
