Joshua Dombrowski of Shawnee, Kansas won the 2022 NFFC Post-Season Contest and the $125,000 grand prize as he defeated a record field of 1,725 teams. Joshua rode the combination of Cooper Kupp and Joe Mixon at 4x along with Matthew Stafford and Cincinnati's Team Kicker at 3x to win the title with 1,562.95 points. He finished 18.6 points ahead of Dennis Lougheed for the top prize with Scott Caswell, Gary Lehnhart and Brian Leigh rounding out the Top 5. This contest paid the Top 55 teams.

This was Joshua's only entry in the $200 Post-Season Hold 'Em Contest and he had only one entry in the $40 Post-Season Mini Contest. He finished second overall in that contest. Well done sir, well done.

Josh's team started out in 85th place after Round 1, moved to 42nd spot after Round 2 and then vaulted into 5th place after Round 3. He lost Patrick Mahomes and Deebo Samuel at 3x at that point, but still had Kupp and Mixon at 4x heading into Round 4. He was 19.45 points out of the lead at that point, but his team scored 404.30 points in Round 4 to take the title.

He had six players with multipliers in the final round with Kupp scoring 119.60 points and Stafford scoring 86.25. He also got 74.40 points from Joe Mixon. Here was his final roster:
