LAS VEGAS (AFLWA) – A player can't do any better than perfection, and that is what San Jose SaberCats quarterback Mark Grieb achieved, earning him the Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA) Player of the Week.

Grieb went 15-for-15 for 331 yards with eight touchdowns, posting a perfect passing rating of 158.3 in San Jose's 89-41 victory over the Colorado Crush. He also set a league record with most passes in a perfect-completion game, surpassing the previous record of 11-for-11 by Carlos Garay of the Carolina Cobras in 2000.

"We've never had a game like this before," Grieb told the Denver Post. "I don't want to slight anybody, but there were a lot of open receivers out there tonight. We had a lot of the right calls.

"Despite completing all of my passes, I still wouldn't say it was a perfect game. There's no point in scoring 100 points. If you do, you're just doing it for the record book. To me, that's not why we're playing the game."

Grieb has quarterbacked the SaberCats to two of the past three ArenaBowl titles. He was the league's Offensive Player of the Year in 2002.

The AFLWA, founded at the start of the 2004 season, is a national organization made up of media members who cover the Arena Football League. Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal is the AFLWA's founder and executive director. The association's website is www.aflwa.com.
