PLAYER OF THE WEEK: For the second time this season Maurice Jones-Drew has proven to be an unstoppable force, rushing for over 200 yards in a game. This week it was against the Bandits in a tight 20-17 win. MJD's 210 yards, included a rushing TD and he added a receiving TD as well to help New Jersey stay only 1 game behind Orlando for the final Eastern playoff spot.
PLAYOFF PICTURE: Charlotte, St. Louis, Michigan, and Oakland all punch their tickets to the postseason as the number of unclaimed slots drops from 6 to 3. Arizona also locks up the SW Division and is 1 game up on the other two division leaders for the top spot and homefield throughout the playoffs. Orlando currently has a one game lead on 4 other Eastern Conference teams for the final Wild Card, and could still strike at Charlotte for the Division. In the West, Portland and Texas will clinch a Wild Card with wins in Week 15. Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas and Seattle all need one or both of the 8-6 clubs to drop 2 games if they want to sneak into the mix.
Eliminated teams now include San Diego, Ohio, Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Chicago.
