Cincinnati Bagels @ Tequila Sunrise: A Sunrise That Never Shined
In a game where Tequila needed a strong performance to maintain their dominance in the West, the Cincinnati Bagels brought the brunch mimosas—and they didn’t spill a drop. Jordan Addison finally remembered he’s supposed to play football this season, leading the Bagels to a surprising and crucial victory 56-44.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns, giving the Sunrise fans hope. "I can't throw AND catch the ball," Mahomes quipped postgame. "Although, at this point, maybe I should try."
After 12 weeks of doing his best "invisible man" impression, Jordan Addison exploded for 162 yards and a touchdown. "Guess I woke up," Addison said. "Tequila’s defense made it really easy—felt like I was running routes in an empty parking lot."
A star player known for his consistency, Amon-Ra St. Brown managed only 62 yards and no touchdowns. Rumor has it he left the field midway to answer a spam call about extending his car warranty.
The Bagels’ defense forced the Sunrise offense into enough mistakes to secure the win. "We bent, we broke, then we unbroke," said a Bagel defender.
Back from injury, Nico Collins hauled in 92 yards and a touchdown. “They forgot I existed, and I can’t blame them,” Collins joked. “But they’ll remember now.”
Late in the third quarter, Roschon Johnson bulldozed his way into the end zone for a crucial touchdown that gave the Bagels momentum. Tequila’s defense looked like they were auditioning for a dance recital as they spun out of Johnson’s path.
This was a missed opportunity for the Sunrise, who had a chance to cement their dominance in the West. Instead, they now have to deal with questions about their defense and Amon-Ra’s unexpected disappearing act. Meanwhile, Cincinnati showed that when their offense clicks, they’re a tough out—even for a top team.
Tequila better hope their hangover doesn’t last too long, or the playoffs could get dicey.
