Tulsa Earns Two Player of the Week Awards

Tulsa Oilers News Release
Tulsa, Okla. - Tulsa Oilers Football, proud member of the IFL, stake claim to the 'Defensive Player of the Week" Award as well as the "Special Teams Player of the Week" Award for Week Eighteen of the IFL schedule.
From IFL:
Jordan Jones - DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
The Tulsa Oilers closed out their inaugural season on a high note. They played well in every facet and upset the Quad City Steamwheelers, sending the Eastern Conference standings into a tizzy. The Oilers defense was rock solid, especially in the second half where they held the Steamwheelers to six points. Leading the way for the Oilers defense was Linebacker Jordan Jones. Jones put on a show, tallying nine tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack, one interception and one safety. Tulsa lost seven games by one score or less. 2024 could look very different for them.
Josh Crockett - SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Again, the Tulsa Oilers did a number on the Eastern Conference standings last week. They capped off the inaugural season with a massive upset over Quad City. However, the way the game began would have suggested things were not going to go their way. The heavily favored Steamwheelers took the opening kickoff the distance to start the game with a touchdown blow just seconds in. Oilers Kick Returner, Josh Crockett, was not intimidated. He took the following Quad City kickoff 50 yards to bring the game back to even. Less than a minute into the game, the teams were tied at seven with zero offensive plays. Crockett went on to gain 173 yards on six returns. He averaged over 28 yards per return.
Eight teams remain. The 2023 IFL Playoffs start on Saturday with three games and one on Sunday. Don't miss a minute of the postseason action.
