2020 USFL Week 12 Standings & League Leaders

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: How could we not give this week's POTW to one of America's favorite journeyman players, Fitz-Magic himself, Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Harvard Grad who has played for 4 different USFL teams after having had 3 different NFL teams as well, had himself a game this week. With Paxton Lynch unable to go due to a lingering issue with a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder, Fitzpatrick got his first start since coming over from Chicago and man, he made the most of it, throwing for 6 touchdowns and going 28 for 38 as Memphis lit up the Ohio glory 48-21. With his contract in Memphis ending this year, could we see this game get Fitz-Magic another shot at a starting job?

PLAYOFF PICTURE: We added one more playoff team to the mix this week as the Atlanta Fire, sitting at 10-2, locked up a spot, making that 2 teams from the Southeast clinched already. The Fire still remain 2 games behind the unbeaten Bandits (the two face off in Week 15) but are now guaranteed at least a Wild Card. Michigan is also 10-2, but are not able to clinch just yet as the combo of Oakland and Dallas at 7-5 still could knock them out.

Speaking of being knocked out, we also added 5 more teams to the list of eliminated squads. All four teams at 2-10--Birmingham, San Antonio, Las Vegas, and San Diego-- were eliminated this week, as was Ohio at 3-9.
