Engineers thrash Hawks 83:0 in NFL regular-season rout
The Engineers booked a comprehensive 83-0 victory over the Hawks on 3 October in the NFL regular season. The home side scored more than forty points each half, leaving the visitors with nothing to show for their efforts. The result leaves the Hawks winless in their opening fixtures.
The Engineers came into the match after mixed recent form. They had beaten the Statesmen 33-7 on 26 September before suffering a 14-38 defeat to the Pioneers earlier in the month. The Hawks, meanwhile, had lost both of their previous games — a 6-48 hammering by the Yellow Jackets and a 12-57 loss to the Pioneers.
The opening quarter set the tone. The Engineers scored six touchdowns in the first period, building a commanding lead before the visitors even kicked off. The Hawks attempted to respond but found their running game neutralised and their passing options shut down. By the end of the first half the Engineers led 49-0.
The second half followed the same pattern. The Engineers added another four touchdowns while the Hawks managed only a single field goal in the dying moments. The final whistle brought a 83-0 scoreline that reflected the gulf in class between the two sides.
The Engineers now sit at the top of the conference table with three wins from three matches. The Hawks remain winless after two defeats and now face a third straight loss. What was meant to be a competitive fixture instead became another demonstration of how quickly the table goes out of the window in these games.
