2021 USFL Final Standings & League Leaders (WK 17)

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: This is a tough one because so many players stepped up to help their teams this week, but we have to go with an outstanding performance from a player who has given us a few of those this season, his rookie campaign. Ohio QB Justin Fields all but wrapped up Rookie of the Year by helping his Ohio Glory lock up a Wild Card this week. New Jersey focused on keeping Fields in the pocket and forcing him to use his arm and not his legs. He obliged them, completing 30 of 46 pass attempts and racking up 336 yards and 4 touchdowns as the Glory handed New Jersey a 4th consecutive loss and earned the 6-seed at the same time.

PLAYOFF PICTURE: When it was all said and done, we had our 12 playoff teams. Thanks to Week 17 results Chicago and Philadelphia earned the final two division crowns, while Arizona, Ohio, Houston and the Stars picked up the final playoff births. Philly went from fringe Wild Card hopes to NE Division Champs, while Losses by both Michigan and Chicago meant that the Machine hold onto the Central title. Seattle earned the 1 seed in the West thanks to their final week victory and the Denver Gold get the 2, and a bye. Here are the final seedings with both Conference 1 and 2 seeds getting Wild Card byes.

EAST: 1-TBY 2-BIR 3-PHI 4-ORL 5-HOU 6-NJ

WEST: 1-SEA 2-DEN 3-CHI 4-ARZ 5-MGN 6-OHIO
