The Crimson Tide made it five straight victories with a 56:23 victory over the Bulldogs in the NFL regular season on Saturday. Both sides arrived with perfect records in their last four outings, but the visitors left with the result that mattered. The final score reflected a game the Tide controlled from start to finish.
The Bulldogs had been scoring freely all season, posting 31, 41, 38 and 62 points in their previous four matches. The Crimson Tide had their own offensive firepower, tallying 49, 50, 45 and 48 points before this fixture. By then, both teams had built momentum that made this matchup worth watching.
What happened on the pitch told a different story entirely. The Tide's attack found a way through when it needed to, while the Bulldogs were left flat-footed for large stretches. The visitors let the game flow on their terms and never looked back.
This result ends the Bulldogs' unbeaten run, though the margin suggests the visitors had more to offer than the hosts could handle. The Crimson Tide extended their unbeaten run to five, and the gap between these sides looks wider than the table might suggest.
Regular season fixtures like this tend to separate contenders from pretenders. The Tide have shown they can score in bunches and they can defend when it counts. The Bulldogs will need to find answers before the next round of games.
