The Greyhounds hosted the Eagles in a regular-season NFL match on 10 October 2026, and it was the visitors who emerged victorious with a 36-34 scoreline. By then, both sides had been struggling through recent fixtures, which made the narrow margin all the more telling.
The Eagles ended a barren spell with this result, though you'd be hard-pressed to call it a dominant performance. Three points separated them at the final whistle, and and here's the thing — neither team looked comfortable for long stretches of the game.
The Greyhounds arrived with two losses on their mind, both coming against the Mules on 5 September with identical 7-34 scorelines. That double defeat must have sat heavy, and they came out fighting, but couldn't quite hold off the visitors.
For the Eagles, the path was no easier. They'd also suffered back-to-back losses, this time 2-21 against the Colonels on 3 October. To be fair, both sides had been in the doldrums, which perhaps explains why the match stayed so close from start to finish.
The result lifts the Eagles off the bottom of their immediate concerns, just as it prolongs the Greyhounds' search for consistency. By then, the pattern was clear — small margins, heavy shoulders, and neither team willing to let the other go.
