Quinn Earns His Second NFL Europe Player of the Week Honor

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Jonathan Quinn threw for a NFL Europe League record-tying five touchdowns in a 41-10 blowout win against Amsterdam en route to his second Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Quinn, who leads the league with 2,009 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and a 91.0 passer rating, completed 20 of 29 passes for 289 yards with no interceptions. Four of his five touchdown passes came in the first half. He joins five other quarterbacks that have thrown five touchdowns in a game including Kurt Warner and Jon Kitna.

"We wanted to establish ourselves quickly against Amsterdam and get a lead," said Quinn of his Berlin Thunder squad that can earn a spot in the World Bowl this weekend with a win and a Rhein loss. "We did that and now we have to do it again next week at Amsterdam."

-- Frankfurt guard Reggie Nelson started in the Galaxy's 17-13 loss to Rhein

-- Frankfurt placekicker Jim Tarle saw action against Rhein

-- Barcelona cornerback Craig Miller started and had two passes defensed in the 26-7 win over Scotland

-- Barcelona linebacker Troy Pelshak started and posted two special teams tackles

-- Berlin safety James Watkins recorded a tackle and a special teams tackle

In this Saturday's action, Rhein will compete for a spot in the World Bowl as they travel to Scotland for a 10 a.m. matchup aired on DirecTV. Frankfurt will host Barcelona at 1 p.m. with the game televised on Fox Sports Net. In the last regular season game on Sunday, Berlin will travel to Amsterdam to take on the Admirals for a 12 noon game on Fox with the winner in good position for the World Bowl against Barcelona.

The allocated players will return from the NFL Europe League in time for the start of Jaguars training camp on July 26.
