In Dallas' 65-54 win over Grand Rapids on Saturday, Dolezel became
the first player in Arena Football League – or any other professional
football league – history to pass for 900 touchdowns in his career
with his seventh scoring toss of the night.
Dolezel threw eight touchdown passes all together to lift the
Desperados, and he was named the Arena Football League Writers Association Player
of the Week. He was 25-of-35 for 321 yards.
His most popular target was Marcus Nash, who caught nine passes
for 145 yards and six touchdowns. Nash was a runner-up for the award
this week.
