Players of the Game

Offense: Randall Cunningham, QB, Las Vegas Ace. The young quarterback continues to thrill in Vegas. In this game, he was near perfect, 24/26 for 361 yards and a touchdown. He also added 71 yards on the ground in the win.

Defense: Frank Mattice, DL, New Jersey Generals. In one of two defensive battles this week, Mattice absolutely dominated the Denver Gold’s normally explosive offense. He recorded 9 tackles, a sack, a forced fubmle, and 3 passes defended and 3 hurries in the General’s win.

Special Teams: Mel Gray, KR, Oklahoma Outlaws. After giving up on a possibility of being a feature running back, Gray has floursed in the kick return role. In this game, he returned 6 kicks for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and Vegas won the game.
