The Bears booked a commanding 38-7 win over the Rams in regular-season action on October 9th, 2026. The result ended the visitors' two-game winning streak, which had seen them beat the Falcons and Corsairs in convincing fashion. For the hosts, it was a chance to bounce back after a narrow 34-35 defeat to the Lancers just six days earlier.
Without the luxury of minute-by-minute events to work with, the headline numbers tell the story. Thirty-eight points on the board against seven is a margin that suggests one side ran the show while the other struggled to find any rhythm. The Rams had come into this fixture full of confidence after consecutive victories, but those results meant little on the night.
The Bears, by contrast, had been one score away from victory in their previous outing. This time they did not let the game slip. «Things came to a head» in what became a one-sided affair, with the hosts making sure they did not give the visitors any hope of a comeback.
Recent form suggests the Rams had been the more consistent side over the past month, but consistency does not guarantee results on any given Sunday. The Bears took their opportunity and «saw it out» without looking back.
The final scoreline of 38-7 leaves the Bears with a statement win and the Rams with questions to answer. Whether this result shifts any momentum in the wider standings depends on what happens around the league, but for now the emphasis is on the gulf between the two teams on this occasion.
