The River Hawks defeated the Cardinals 45-21 in a regular-season NFL match on Saturday. Both sides arrived at the fixture having lost their previous two games, so this result shifted the momentum for one of them. The visitors scored twice as many points as their hosts, closing out a match they controlled from the first quarter.
The Cardinals had lost 38-35 to the Tartans and then 13-7 to the Green Terror in their last two outings. Those results left them searching for answers, particularly after the narrow defeat to Tartans where they lost by just three points. Against the River Hawks they failed to put up much resistance.
The River Hawks had been winless in their last two games as well, both ends against the Captains. The 21-0 scorelines on each occasion showed they struggled to find the end zone at all. On this afternoon they finally broke through, putting together a performance that looked nothing like the previous ones.
The final scoreline tells the story clearly enough. The River Hawks dominated the points column, while the Cardinals could only manage a fraction of what their opponents achieved.
