Kamran Williams Dazzles in Jefferson Victory
Kamran Williams continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 17th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 124 rushing yards. He rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
White Oak's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 277 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries.

Atlanta Gets a Boost from Batton in 50-0 Win
Markeylin Batton was a major factor in Atlanta's victory over Sabine on Friday. Batton was unstoppable, rushing for 33 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. Atlanta is undefeated when Batton posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Sabine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Batton. Batton rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dequane Prevo Has Career-Day on Friday
Dequane Prevo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.

Tihmyus Taylor and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Tihmyus Taylor was instrumental in extending Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Taylor as he threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Taylor must have White Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Taylor threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes the last time he and the Roughnecks duked it out back in October of 2023.
