We have even more information now to reaffirm that the Butchers are indeed having a strong season, but even just judging after 7 weeks the team has been quite impressive and better than many were expecting. Our only 2 losses were by 2 points to the Hawks and 6 points to the Sailfish, and we picked up some quality wins traveling to Berlin, Phily, and Colorado. The biggest factor has been our defense, and specifically the league leading 14 interceptions and 4 defensive touchdowns which are helping us to win the turnover battle and keep us in games. This defense has been pretty key, as though the offense hasn't been terrible, we also aren't blowing anyone out and are more like a middle of the pack team both passing and rushing on offense. Keeping things going on defense and with some efficiency in kicking the ball will be a priority, while improving on offense could really end up cementing us as one of the best in the league.
