The Bulls gave their preseason offense a clear identity Saturday: put the ball in the air, spread the production across the receiving corps and finish drives. The plan worked in a 43-6 win over the Kings, as Las Vegas threw for 387 yards and five touchdowns while holding its opponent to two field goals.

The Kings opened the scoring with a first-quarter field goal, but quarterback Garry Griggs answered with a 21-yard touchdown pass to William Gross. Stephen Young added a one-yard scoring run in the second quarter, capping another Bulls possession and moving the lead to 14-3. The Kings managed a second field goal, but Las Vegas immediately restored its cushion: Griggs found Young for an eight-yard touchdown, with Young making a move to beat the cornerback.

Griggs continued to exploit the passing game before halftime. After Raymond McKee intercepted a Kings pass, the Bulls converted the takeaway into a six-yard touchdown connection from Griggs to Gross. The score made it 28-6 at the break. Gross finished with two receiving touchdowns, while Griggs totaled 245 passing yards and three scores.

The quarterback rotation kept producing after intermission. Daniel Davis completed a 36-yard touchdown pass to Mark Ponder in the third quarter, extending the lead to 35-6. Ponder had 100 receiving yards, and Davis finished with 142 passing yards and two touchdown passes. The Bulls’ 34 completions on 47 attempts, spread across five scoring throws, told the larger story: the passing attack generated far more than the Kings could contain.

Las Vegas’ defense complemented that output with pressure and takeaways. The Kings managed just 195 passing yards, 25 rushing yards and two conversions on 16 third-down attempts. The Bulls recorded three sacks and two interceptions. John Kinley’s interception at the start of the fourth quarter, with pressure from Jerry Dillard, set up Davis’ three-yard touchdown pass to Alden Wilder. Jon Williams added the successful two-point conversion for the final margin.

The Bulls were less productive on the ground overall, finishing with 51 rushing yards, but Young’s short touchdown run gave the offense a complementary scoring route. For a preseason outing, the decisive indicators were execution through the air and a defense that repeatedly forced the Kings off schedule.

Owner IoanBlood summed up the day: “Five touchdown passes and two interceptions tell you how well we finished on both sides of the ball. That 36-yard score to Mark Ponder kept the pressure on, and the defense gave us another chance right away in the fourth.”
