Welcome to the Week 5 MFL Recap thread, this week in the MFL saw Trumps Towers solidify their hold on 1st place with a 161 pt massacre (123 margin of victory) of Backfield Penetration (they were also 18.5 pts shy of tying the league record for largest margin of victory which was last season by MadMan Gamers) giving them almost a 100 pt lead over 2nd place Fear These Bucknuts, who beat Of Hogs and Hokies this week to get to 4-1. Meanwhile MadMan Gamers won their third straight game (tied for longest win steak this season, Trumps Towers & Fear These Bucknuts are also currently on a 3 game win streak) allowing them to crack the top 5 in league standings for the first time this season.

Not only did Trump s Towers keep their momentum alive, but they did so in a decisive fashion. They were the second-highest point total this season, which aided them to their third straight win after they crushed BackfieldPenetration 161.44 to 38.80. AC/DC once said: "It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll." However, in relatively short time, Trump s Towers has rocked and rolled to claim the top spot in the league. When their streak started in Week 3, they were in just fifth place. They also have the highest scoring output in the league at 119.43 points per matchup. To throw salt in the wound, BackfieldPenetration had several starters go scoreless. BackfieldPenetration goes to 2-3 and falls to 10th place. Trump s Towers has now defeated The Wide Right (127.74 to 120.46) and Coprse Munging (103.08 to 76.46).

Darks Dragons vs. Corpse Munging

Coprse Munging (1-4) sits just two games back of Dark's Dragons (3-2), but point totals show they should be happy with that because they are a lot further behind there, 506.48 to 348.60. Coprse Munging definitely shouldn't plan a trip to Vegas. Their luck couldn't get any worse as they are on a four-game losing streak.
