James Butler
Dominant in win over Elks
Butler rushed 15 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's win over the Elks.
ANALYSIS
Butler not only averaged nine yards per carry, but he also looked unstoppable and found the end zone twice in what was his second multi-TD game of the 2026 campaign. Butler already has four scores and 252 rushing yards on 45 carries this season, and he should remain a key piece on offense for the Lions in their upcoming game -- a rematch against the Elks on Friday, July 17, following the bye week.
