The Wildcats put on a dominant display against the Lumberjacks on 2026-09-06, winning 35-7 in the NFL regular-season. By then, few would have expected such a result after the visitors' recent form.
The Lumberjacks had beaten the Eagles 34-27 just a week earlier on 2026-08-29, and came in with confidence. To be fair, that victory suggested they could compete at this level. The reality proved rather different.
Thirty-five points on the board tells you everything about the Wildcats' control. Seven for the visitors says the story the other way. And here's the thing — when one team scores that much and the opposition barely registers, you know who dictated the game.
The regular-season schedule keeps moving regardless of results. For the Wildcats, this was a statement. For the Lumberjacks, a reminder that the Eagles game was an outlier.
What stays with you is the gap between expectation and outcome. The Lumberjacks came off a win and found themselves on the wrong side of a massive scoreline. The Wildcats, meanwhile, showed they can put teams away when it matters.
