American football saw the Thunderwolves thrash the Cowboys 77-17 at home on Saturday night. The regular-season clash ended in a one-sided affair that left little doubt about the gulf in quality. By then the result was already settled, and the scoreboard told the whole story.
The home side had been in fine scoring form ahead of this fixture. They beat Mavericks 35-23, then dispatched Eagles 33-6, before putting 45 past Rodgers. This performance took their recent output into another stratosphere entirely.
The Cowboys were unable to mount any meaningful resistance throughout. They failed to find any rhythm or create sustained pressure. One mistake ends it when you are facing a side playing like this, and they made plenty.
The final margin of sixty points is staggering. It is not a result that speaks of close contention or dramatic comebacks. The Thunderwolves never got out of second gear, and the Cowboys never found any gear at all.
What this means for the standings remains to be seen. But the message from this match is clear: the Thunderwolves are operating at a different level right now. The Cowboys will need to reassess considerably.
