Everything went their way against the Pioneer Mustangs as they made off with a 40-17 win. The result was nothing new for the Grizzlies, who have now won six games by 21 points or more so far this season.

Those 200 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Lazaro Velez, who rushed for 88 yards and one score.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Jefferson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 399 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
