Muls beat Colonels 41-27 in the NFL regular season on Saturday, 19 September 2026. The home side's victory came after a heavy defeat to Gulls the previous week, and it was a performance that refused to go away from its dominant display. The away team had looked comfortable in their shutout win over Monarchs just days earlier, but this fixture told a different story.
The scoreline suggests a match where one side pulled away early and should have too much for them after that. Muls turned to the kids when it mattered, and the experienced players behind them made life awkward for the visitors. The away end never stopped, but the noise couldn't change what was happening on the pitch.
For Muls, this was a chance to put the 21-49 loss to Gulls behind them. They had won both games before that against Greyhounds, then things came to a head against Gulls. The response was measured rather than frantic — tightened things up in defence and let the attack work.
Colonels arrived with momentum from their 7-0 victory over Monarchs, a result that showed they could grind out points when needed. But they sat deep and soaked it up for too long, and eventually the pressure told. The incident went to review at one point, and the visitors lost that battle.
By the end, the gap was clear. Muls now sit above where they were before this round, while Colonels are staring at the drop if this pattern continues. The score difference of 14 points says enough about a game that decided itself before the final quarter.
