Yokohama Zets
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week.

The six offensive skill starters on Moon Rabbits (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to record 304 yards and just one touchdown in Week 5. The skill players on Yokohama Zets stuffed the statsheet by logging 506 yards and eight scores.
