The Vikings beat the Pirates 34 to 6 in a regular-season NFL match on Saturday evening. The result extends their recent run of good form, having won their last two outings. To be fair, the margin of victory was substantial, but the Vikings had been building momentum.
Before this game they'd put 50 past the Lynx 10 days ago, and before that scraped a 16-10 win against the Tartans. Three wins in a row at home gives them something to build on. And here's the thing about consistency — it's harder to maintain than to start.
The Pirates offered little resistance on the night. The Vikings' defence held firm while their attack found space when it mattered. By then the pattern was clear: the visitors couldn't match the intensity from the opening whistle.
This result strengthens the Vikings' position going forward. They've now shown they can score freely and keep a clean sheet in the same match. The table will reflect that form if it continues.
