Cincinnati Bagels Dominate Los Angeles Lords, 39-15

Los Angeles, LA - The Cincinnati Bagels (1-0) kicked off their 2024 campaign in impressive fashion, overpowering the Los Angeles Lords (0-1) with a commanding 39-15 victory. The Bagels set the tone early and never looked back, riding a balanced offensive attack and a suffocating defensive performance.

Cincinnati quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a strong showing, throwing for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns, earning 12 points. The Bagels’ ground game was equally effective, with Breece Hall and David Montgomery each rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown, contributing 6 points each. Ka’imi Fairbairn’s reliable leg added 11 points with 3 field goals and 2 extra points, rounding out a complete performance from the special teams.

The Bagels’ defense, anchored by Myles Garrett, kept the Lords in check by allowing just 265 total yards, recording 3 sacks, and scoring 3 points. This dominant defensive effort ensured that the Lords could never find their rhythm.

On the flip side, the Los Angeles Lords struggled to generate any offensivemomentum. Joe Burrow had a rough outing, passing for only 179 yards without a touchdown, finishing with zero points. The running game was ineffective, with Gus Edwards and Khalil Herbert combining for a mere 32 yards. Despite a touchdown from Justin Jefferson, who racked up 59 receiving yards, the Lords’ offense couldn’t keep pace with the high-flying Bagels.

After the game, Joe Burrow remained optimistic despite the tough loss. “We know this isn’t the start we wanted, but there are better times ahead,” Burrow stated. “We’re going to learn from this, make adjustments, and come back stronger. It’s a long season, and we’re just getting started.”

Both teams will look to build on this week as they head into the rest of the 2024 season.
