The Tigers hosted the Cowboys for a regular-season NFL match on 2026-10-03, running out 63:14 winners. The scoreline told the story of a team that found its rhythm and a side that could not respond.
By then the Tigers had built something. They beat the Aggies 35:6, then lost narrowly to the Rebels 24:32, before dispatching the Bulldogs 45:14 and the Tigers themselves 51:10. This was not an isolated burst — it was a pattern taking shape.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, could not string together a run. They edged past the Lions 27:24, but followed that with back-to-back defeats to the Wakeros, both 10:27, and then lost twice to the Texans, 24:27 on each occasion. Something had gone wrong and they had not found the fix.
And here's the thing about a 63:14 score. It does not reflect a close game where one side got lucky. It reflects a team that was everywhere the Cowboys tried to go, and a Cowboys side that kept going to the wrong places. The hosts went for the jugular from the opening whistle.
The result leaves the Cowboys looking at a difficult patch ahead. Three losses in four games, and now this — a margin that suggests the problem was not just one bad half but a structural one. The Tigers, on the other hand, are finding a formula that works.
