The Week 17 Players of the week are listed as follows:
Offensive Player of the Week: James McNear, QB, Omaha Beef
McNear had a stand-out game Saturday evening against division rival, Sioux Falls Storm. McNear's 2011 season had been plagued with interceptions; however, Saturday evening McNear completed 19 of 30 attempts for 195 yards, 4 passing touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Not only did he find great success with his arm, he was able to rush 12 times for a total of 76 yards and a rushing touchdown.
