LAS VEGAS (AFLWA) – It only took seven weeks to find a repeat winner of the Arena Football League Writers Association's Player of the Week award.

Pettis

With six touchdowns, including five receiving, Dallas' Will Pettis was the AFL's best last week in keeping the Desperados undefeated with a 55-44 win over New Orleans. He also won the award in Week 3.

To go along with accounting for more than 65 percent of Dallas' scoring, Pettis caught 10 total passes for 116 yards. He also had 95 return yards and two tackles. In all, he had 212 total yards.

His biggest play came late in the third quarter after the VooDoo took its final lead, as Pettis grabbed a 9-yard touchdown reception to put the Desperados back in front 41-37 in a seesaw game. He also scored Dallas' final touchdown for a 55-37 lead with 8:09 remaining that all but put it away.
