Sunday's Week 5 Top-Performer of the day: Reece Horn

Today’s slate of ELF action featured several strong performances from players such as Shelton Eppler, Dawid Brzozowski, Matt Cole, and Glen Toonga. All of these stars made huge plays for their respective teams in today's three contests.

However, the standout of the day goes to Vienna Vikings receiver Reece Horn, who helped the Vikings keep their undefeated record intact while putting up video game-like numbers against the Prague Lions. 

Vikings stay unbeaten

Horn is no stranger to scoring touchdowns, the veteran receiver has played in the NFL, CFL, AAF, XFL, and many other leagues before finding his way to the ELF. After scoring 19 touchdowns in 20 games during the past two seasons in the ELF, Horn has shown no letup so far this year.

He reminded fans of that today scoring three touchdowns today while racking up 8 catches for 237 yards as he and quarterback Shelton Eppler showed off elite chemistry all day. Horn was able to win contested catches, separate from man coverage, and even pick up big yards after the catch. Horn commented on the Vikings big win:

"It was a great team win, I was really impressed with the way we all showed up. A lot of guys stepped up and it starts up front with the offensive line, they did a great job. They made Shelton's job a lot easier, to throw to us wideouts. I told the wideouts after the game, let's always do our best to make the quarterback's job as easy as possible. Catch the ball and know where we need to be. It was just a great team win all around." - (via Vienna Vikings)
