A week after earning the Hue Jackson Award, William bounced by as the only manager to earn points from coaching in Week 13. Though he cost his team 2.50 points by starting Ka'imi Fairbairn at kicker instead of Nick Folk, he made up for that and then some by earning 11.86 points for starting Patrick Mahomes instead of Josh Allen at quarterback.

Hue Jackson Award (Worst Coach) Jeffery McDonald #1 in his career

Jeffery cost his team 6.91 points and a win by failing on both of his coaching risks this week. He cost his team 0.35 points by starting Josh Downs instead of Jaylen Waddle at FLEX. If that had been all, he still would have claimed victory, but he cost his squad another 6.56 points by starting the New Orleans Saints at defense instead of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Honorable Mention: Anthony Battle, playing against Jeffery, was fortunate to have a much stronger roster for the week because he was able to get the win despite costing his team a league-high 16.98 points by failing on both of his coaching risks. He added Taysom Hill instead of Devin Neal off waivers in Week 13, and Neal had a higher projection than Keenan Allen, who started at FLEX for Anthony. Neal outscored Allen by 3.37 points. He lost another 13.61 points by starting Matthew Stafford instead of Dak Prescott at quarterback.

Managers took a combined 9 coaching risks this week (the fewest of any week this season) and were successful on 1. The league's net point differential was -35.85

To date in 2025, the AFL has a .433 success rate on 180 total coaching risks with a -230.36 point differential

This does not rank in the Top 50 in league history out of 183 regular season weeks)

The matchup between Anthony Battle and Jeffery McDonald was the 33rd game in AFL history decided by one point or less. Ant's 0.55-point margin of victory was the smallest since Week 4 of the 2024 season when Brandon Saunders beat Alex Kincaid by 0.02 points.

William Battle led the league in scoring this week after winning the David Carr Award a week ago. This is the 9th time in league history this has happened.

We call this the Like a Phoenix Award on League Legacy. William is the first to win it since Eric Meyer in the final week of the 2024 season. Serendipitously, the award's antithesis, the Turritopsis Dohrnii Award, was last earned by William himself back in Week 2 of this season.

Note: this does not count three instances of a team ending the season as the low scorer and then winning the Week 1 Tom Brady Award the next year

Eric Meyer's league-leading active streak of 100-point games extended to 14, tying the fourth longest streak in AFL history.

Alex Kincaid's league-leading active drought of 100-point games ended at 8, the longest drought in AFL history.

Cory Puffett and Will Massimini take over as the active leaders with their 2nd straight sub-100-point outings.

We're down to our final two weeks and we have two playoff spots still up for grabs, including two division titles.

Anthony Battle earned a playoff spot with a narrow Week 13 victory over Jeffery McDonald, the closest game of the season. He can clinch the AFL Central, and his second straight division title, with a win this week against Brandon Saunders, the only man who can catch him.

Alex Mayo is in position to capture the AFL West title this week, as well. A win over Cory Puffett will earn him his second career division title. Failing that, he'll be rooting for William Battle to beat Sean Kennedy as that would also clinch him the division.

Brandon Saunders can't clinch his division this week; the best he can do is beat Anthony and set up a Week 15 where he and Ant play separate games with tiebreakers ready to decide things if he can make up the game he'll still be down. In addition to keeping him alive for the division, a win over Anthony this week would clinch him a playoff spot.

Without a win against Ant, he can also clinch a playoff spot if Stephen April loses to Will Massimini and if either Sean loses to William or Cory loses to Alex Mayo.
