Breakdown
PIRATES
Massachusetts is playing for the top spot in the Eastern Conference after this week 5 match up against the Fighters. Neither have lost a game on the season, and a win here could be an early season indication of the competitiveness between the teams. Alejandro Bennifield started in the opener, but went down to injury. Expect Anthony Russo to make his second start for the Pirates. He went 11 of 18 for 124 yards for four touchdowns an a pick in the team's win over the Bay Area Panthers two weeks ago. Jimmie Robinson has been exceptional through two games with his 126 yards and five touchdowns. Thomas Owens leads the team with 110 receiving, three touchdowns. Darren Carrington II adds nine grabs for 82 yards and two scores. Brendon White leads the team with 15.5 tackles, while Momodou Mbye has 12 tackles and an interception. Harlan Miller and Aarion Maxey-Penton come in with 10 and 9.5 tackles, respectively. Josh Gable is a solid kicker with a 46.8-yard kickoff average.
FIGHTERS
Frisco is in the drivers seat in the Eastern Conference. The Fighters are second in points scored at 56.7 per game - just behind the Pirates' 57.0. They also allow the second-fewest points per game at 31.7. These are strong indicators why the Fighters are undefeated after three games. T.J. Edwards is one of the top passers in the IFL as he is completing 62 percent for 382 yards, three touchdowns without an interception. He leads the Fighters with 160 yards and a league-high 10 touchdown rushes. Jimmy Smith adds 51 yards and three touchdowns to the ground game. Jerminic Smith has tallied 133 receiving yards and a touchdown, while B.J. Bunn has caught six balls for 45 yards and a pair of scores. Kordell Jackson is tied for the league-lead in tackles with 20.5 and has an interception. Shaq Bond adds 10 tackles and two picks, while Royce See comes in with nine tackles. Trayshon Foster has a sack and an interception. Veteran Bryce Crawford has attained an impressive 51.1 yard kickoff average.
