The Hurricane saw off the Chippewas 28-5 in a regular-season NFL fixture on Saturday evening. By then the result was never really in doubt, but the margin was still surprising. The hosts had looked sharp in their previous three outings, and they carried that momentum into this one.
On their recent run the Hurricane have been ruthless. They beat the Demon Diac 33-20, then put 77 points past the Rattlers, and followed that with a 45-6 victory over the Cardinal. This match was another example of them being second to nothing. The Chippewas were out of sight by half-time and never really recovered.
The Chippewas arrived with two wins and a loss in their last three games. They edged the Cowboys 24-10 and scraped a 13-10 win against the Raiders, but those results masked a vulnerability. They had lost 38-7 to the Lobos on opening day and that defeat has haunted them. To be fair, they have not been in this position since.
And here's the thing about the final score — it tells you everything you need to know. The Hurricane's high line was picked apart all evening. They did not travel to make up the numbers, and the Chippewas knew it from the first snap. The support of the crowd could be called devoted, but that is an assessment, not a fact. The fact is the Hurricane have opened talks about extending their winning streak.
