I think the first time I really was wow'd by an individual game this season was week 2. Baby Yoda went off on the Liberty and set (at the time) the ISFL record for rushing yards with 280. A big chunk of it was one play where he ran the ball for 64 yards. I just remember thinking "man, this guy's going to be the MVP and Chicago is going to the Ultimus." Baby Yoda still had a fine season and the Butchers once again couldn't make it to the Ultimus. But that second game of the season just had me really excited about Yoda and our team. We needed that performance, too. This game was not a blowout. I think a lot of people overvalue a huge statistical performance without looking at the context of the game. If Yoda doesn't play the way that he did, I don't know if Chicago beats Philadelphia that day. He ran the ball 20 times so it's not like he was being driven into the ground. He was highly efficient, averaging 14 yards per carry, which is also an underlooked stat. Sure a guy could get 300 yards but nobody really cares that it took him 50 carries. Yoda was just a beast that day and it was a wonderful game to be apart of.
