The Bobcats beat the Lumberjacks 28-14 in the NFL regular season on September 27th, 2026. And here's the thing — it wasn't the sort of performance that announced themselves as contenders, but it was enough to stop a run of three straight wins for the visitors.
The Bobcats had come into this one off a narrow defeat to the Blue Devils, 35-30, after stringing together three victories in a row before that. They'd hammered the Trail Blazers 54-0 and the Bulldogs 51-24, then edged the Wolf Pack 20-7. To be fair, that recent loss to the Blue Devils showed they were still finding their rhythm.
The Lumberjacks arrived with momentum of their own. They'd beaten the Trail Blazers 35-23, the Cardinals 38-28, and the Eagles 34-27 in their last five outings. Only the trip to face the Wildcats had gone badly, 7-35 on September 6th. By then they'd built something, and the Bobcats game was supposed to be a test.
What happened was straightforward enough. The Bobcats controlled the tempo, didn't give anything away for nothing, and put the result beyond doubt before the final whistle. The Lumberjacks didn't have the answers, not tonight anyway.
On the table, the Bobcats move into a better position in the standings. The Lumberjacks drop a place and lose their three-game winning streak. That's the state of play after Sunday's results.
