31 for 160 yards. Gold Medal Game Japan had won two World Championships, and the United States had won two World Championships. When these two teams faced off in the Gold Medal Game, something had to give. By the time it was over, Team USA had its third straight title game of the International Federation of American Football World Championship, with a crushing 59–12 win over Japan. Playing in just its fourth game as a team, the United States looked like a veteran squad that had been together for years as each member won a gold medal for the first time. It came in just about every facet as defense was responsible for three touchdowns – a 75-yard pick six by David Guthrie, a 36-yard fumble recovery by Kyle Olugbode, and another fumble recovery by Alex Gross in the end zone. It came with touchdowns from eight players, and it came with 413 yards on 62 plays for an average of 6.7 yards. Offense once again was at a premium as U.S. game and tournament MVP wide receiver Trent Steelman led all rushers with 56 yards and a score, while Dylan Favre, Aaron Wimberly, and Kevin Burke added rushing scores. Tight end Ernst Brun registered the only receiving touchdown as the United States once again showed its dominance. The defense was stout again, limiting the Japanese rushing game to minus-7 yards. The one minor bright spot for Japan was in the passing game, where Kato (12-22-141 yards) performed very well. Dylan Favre for the US however had a near perfect game (12-12-124). The 2015 Team USA was the most dominant in terms of points (214) and kept the Americans undefeated in IFAF play through 11 games. The 11 games won matches Japan's for most wins by a country, though Japan has lost four times – three of them to the United States. Steelman logged 18 catches for 258 yards and two scores, rushed for 66 yards and a score, and recovered a fumble for a touchdown over four games to earn his All-Tournament MVP nod. Also making the All-Tournament team were: Burke, Wimberly, Brun, and James Atoe on offense, and Jack Sherlock, Steve Kurfehs, Gross, Guthrie, and Robert Virgil on defense. The 3,000 fans at the game was not only the largest crowd in the tournament, but also the first game in the tournament to have more than 1,000 in
