Franklin earned his 91 OVR card with six receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ 44-24 win<\/a> against the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>. Nelson added one forced fumble, two solo sacks and an interception return for a touchdown to his name in the Buccaneers’ overwhelming 23-3 win<\/a> over the New Orleans Saints<\/a>, winning his 91 OVR item as a result.<\/p>\n

Not technically part of TOTW 8, but running as part of this program and released one day prior to the weekly squad, is a third 91 OVR Limited Edition card featuring Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey<\/a>. He’s been on a perfect run since the start of the ongoing season, making all 16 of his field goals, including five attempts from over 50 yards — a feat EA Sports evidently wanted to recognize through this special release.<\/p>\n
