LAS VEGAS (AFLWA) – Dallas Desperados veteran quarterback Clint Dolezel tied his league record of 11 touchdown passes, and is the Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA) Player of the Week.

He completed 24 of 30 passes for 353 yards to lead the Desperados to an 87-62 victory over the Orlando Predators. Dolezel matched his own AFL touchdown record, which he accomplished last season while playing for the Las Vegas Gladiators.

Aaron Garcia of the New York Dragons threw 11 touchdowns in a game in 2001.

"It's very unusual for someone to score this many points against Orlando, especially when it's in their house," Dolezel told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

This has been quite a season for Dolezel, who signed with Dallas during the off-season and has led the Desperados to a club-best 7-1 start. He also tossed his 700th career touchdown pass this season, the third player ever to do that and the fastest one to get there.

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.
