East Division
Offensive POTW – Buffalo QB Chazz Anderson

On top of his impressive passing performance, Anderson added 56 yards on the ground for Buffalo.

Jones was an integral part of the Falcons’ defense that held the Temple Owls to 284 yards of total offense. He made four solo tackles along with two assists. Jones had no trouble disrupting the Owls’ backfield as he had three sacks and one quarterback hurry.

Special Teams POTW – Ball State KR Jamill Smith
