The Coyotes beat the Sycamores 44-14 in a regular-season NFL match on Saturday evening. The hosts turned in a performance that reflected their recent patchiness, while the visitors failed to mount any meaningful resistance. It was a result that put an end to the Sycamores' poor run of form.
The Coyotes had lost three of their last five before this game, including defeats to the Penguins and Broncos. They showed flashes of promise with wins against the Eagles and Bears, but consistency has been elusive. Against the Sycamores, they finally put things together.
Meanwhile the Sycamores had managed just one victory in their previous five outings. They beat the Panthers with 42-35 but lost to the Fighting Hawks, Boilermakers and Redhawks. That lone win offered little comfort against a Coyotes side that found its rhythm.
A 30-point margin is not something you ignore. The Coyotes were first to everything, while the Sycamores were second to everything. There was no comeback on offer, and no drama to speak of beyond the score itself.
For the Coyotes this is a chance to steady the ship. They had been letting the game flow in the wrong direction. For the Sycamores, the table goes out of the window in these games — they need to regroup quickly.
