UNDEFEATED: Boston Bandits Dominating the NEFL in 2026
WEST ROXBURY, MA — The Boston Bandits are on fire in 2026.
Playing out of West Roxbury in the New England Football League AAA Colonial Conference, the Bandits have stormed to a perfect 9-0 record with just two regular-season games remaining.
Boston hasn’t just been winning — the Bandits have been dominating.
Through nine games, Boston has outscored its opponents 265-20 while recording an incredible six shutouts. The Bandits are the only undefeated team in the league, putting them in position to potentially complete a perfect regular season.
THE TRENCHES SET THE TONE
The Bandits’ success starts up front.
The entire offensive line has been dominating opposing defenses, creating running lanes, protecting the quarterback and giving the offense the time and space needed to make big plays. Their physical, consistent performance has been a major foundation of Boston’s undefeated season.
On defense, the defensive line has been applying constant pressure, disrupting opposing quarterbacks and making it difficult for offenses to find a rhythm. Their ability to collapse the pocket, stop the run and create pressure has helped fuel Boston’s dominant defensive performances.
#56 Ryan Kalayjian (Captain) — OL
Captain Ryan Kalayjian has been a great team leader and a dominant blocker downfield. His physical play, consistency and leadership have helped set the tone for Boston’s offensive line.
Kalayjian’s ability to block downfield has helped create opportunities for the Bandits’ offense, allowing plays to develop and helping teammates gain valuable yards. As a captain, he has also played an important role in keeping the offensive line focused, disciplined and united throughout the season.
#18 Chris Flores (Captain) — DL
2026 Stats
* 19 Total Tackles
* 1 Sack
* 1 Fumble Recovery
Flores has been a great teammate and has gotten a lot of pressure on the QB this season. Without the offensive and defensive lines, this ship wouldn’t float. Their work in the trenches has been essential to everything the Bandits have accomplished this season.
#15 Bernard Davis — QB
Quarterback Bernard Davis has been leading the offense with an outstanding season.
2026 Stats
* 1,105 passing yards
* 22 touchdowns
Davis has helped turn the Bandits into one of the most explosive offenses in the NEFL, with the offensive line providing the protection necessary for him to make plays. The time Davis has received in the pocket has allowed him to make accurate throws, extend drives and consistently find the end zone.
#2 Jaylynn Cundiff — WR
Wide receiver Jaylynn Cundiff has been one of Davis’ biggest weapons.
2026 Stats
* 26 receptions
* 481 receiving yards
* 8 touchdowns
Cundiff’s ability to make plays through the air has been a major part of Boston’s undefeated run. His big-play ability has helped stretch opposing defenses and given the Bandits another dangerous option in the passing game.
#33 Ryan McCarthy — CB
One of the biggest stories of the entire season has been the performance of cornerback Ryan McCarthy.
McCarthy has recorded an incredible 9 interceptions, with 5 returned for touchdowns.
2026 Stats
* 9 interceptions
* 5 pick-sixes
His ability to turn defense into instant points has made him one of the Bandits’ biggest difference-makers this season, while the pressure from the defensive line has helped create opportunities for the secondary.
With the defensive line forcing quarterbacks to make difficult throws, McCarthy has taken full advantage. His playmaking has helped Boston shut down opposing passing attacks and quickly turn defensive stops into points.
A COMPLETE TEAM EFFORT
The Bandits’ undefeated record has been built on contributions from every part of the roster.
The balance has made Boston extremely difficult to beat. The Bandits can win with explosive offense, suffocating defense, field position and timely turnovers. Their six shutouts are a reflection of how complete this team has been throughout the season.
TWO GAMES FROM PERFECTION
At 9-0, Boston has an opportunity to accomplish something special.
With only two games remaining in the regular season, the Bandits will look to finish the job, maintain their undefeated record and carry their momentum into the NEFL playoffs.
The offensive line is controlling the trenches. The defensive line is creating pressure. The offense is producing, and the defense is shutting teams down. Together, the Bandits have put themselves in position for a potentially historic finish to the 2026 season.
The final two regular-season games will test Boston’s focus, discipline and consistency. But if the Bandits continue playing with the same physicality and confidence they have shown all season, they will have a legitimate chance to complete a perfect regular season and make a deep playoff run.
