FORT WORTH, TEXAS – On a Sunday afternoon when the league’s top two teams were upset to tighten the 2026 standings, the hometown Texas Rattlers (14-12) concluded PBR Teams: Rattler Days presented by Germania Insurance with a 267.40-87.15 victory over the Arizona Ridge Riders (11-15) to advance to 13-2 all-time competing on home dirt at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Brady Fielder (Clermont, Australia) wasted no time getting the welcoming crowd involved, besting Yo Mamma for a season-best 91.75 points. The Rattlers’ lead-off cowboy improved to 17-for-26 while remaining ranked third in the PBR Teams MVP race.
“It’s very important for me to start out with a score,” Fielder said on the CW broadcast following his ride. “It sets the energy for the whole team throughout the rest of the game and I’m just grateful to get it rolling for them.”
In the Rattlers’ victory, Daniel Keeping (Montague, Texas) kept the electric audience engaged in the second by going the distance aboard Rock ‘n Roll for 87.55 points while improving to 5-for-6 all-time against the animal athlete. Jean Carlos Teodoro (Mirante Do Paranapanema, Brazil) made it three-straight rides for Texas while breaking his 10-out buckoff streak by matching Corriente’s every move for 88.10 points. Everton Natan da Silva (Viradouro, Brazil) bested Apache Dots for 87.15 points as Arizona’s lead-off rider, but his conversion was the Ridge Riders’ only qualified ride of the game as Arizona ended the weekend 1-2. The Rattlers recorded a 2-1 slate at Rattler Days.
The No. 1 Missouri Thunder (18-8) dropped a 177.25-88.15 final to the Kansas City Outlaws (10-16) but remain two games ahead of the No. 2 Austin Gamblers (16-10) atop the PBR Teams standings.
The Gamblers completed their 3-0 clean sweep of the weekend by defeating the Oklahoma Wildcatters (9-17) during Sunday’s opening game, their fifth-straight win.
Three-time PBR World Champion Jose Vitor Leme (Ribas do Rio Pardo, Brazil) advanced his lead atop the PBR Teams MVP race over Paulo Eduardo Rossetto (Colorado, Brazil) to 98.95 points with an 89.60-point ride on Husky to kickstart the Gamblers’ run and advance to 22-for-25 this season. Leme teamed up with 2018 PBR World Champion Kaique Pacheco (Itatiba, Brazil), who went the distance aboard Rankenstein (86.55) to solidify the 176.15-0 final score.
The Gamblers own the tiebreaker on points over both the No. 3 Nashville Stampede and No. 4 Carolina Cowboys, who have matching 16-10 records with just nine games separating squads from the 2026 PBR Teams Championship in Las Vegas Nov. 6-8.
Carolina stayed perfect at Rattler Days by riding two bulls to beat the Florida Freedom (10-16) 178.20-89.10. João Lucas Campos (Porto Feliz, Brazil) bested Dirty South for 89.10 points as Florida’s leadoff rider, but his conversion was the Freedom’s only qualified ride as Florida fell to 0-3 at Dickies Arena. Guilherme Valleiras (Pirassununga, Brazil) captured the lead during Carolina’s second out, earning his third-straight ride via his 89.75 points on Smooth Whiskey. Clay Guiton (Cherryville, North Carolina) paired up with Couyon for 88.45 points in the bottom of the third to extend Carolina’s lead, which was Guiton’s second 8-second effort at Rattler Days following a mid-season stretch of buckoffs.
In Sunday’s Show Me State Showdown, the Kansas City Outlaws upset the No. 1 Missouri Thunder 177.25-88.15. Eric Henrique Domingos (Pérola, Brazil) extended his ride streak to six-straight in the second to put Kansas City in the lead. Sandro Batista (Pedra Preta, Brazil) earned a re-ride and knocked his second opportunity out the park, marked 88.60 points on The HONDO to put the Outlaws one bull up for good and able to conclude the weekend with a 2-1 record. Paulo Eduardo Rossetto improved to 21-for-26 this season, scored 88.15 points on Crossroads to get Missouri on the board during their first out, but the Thunder went 0-for-4 to conclude the game.
The New York Mavericks (10-16) recorded scores on their first four bulls to also complete an upset on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Nashville Stampede, 351.05-269.70, during the highest-scoring game of the weekend.
Hudson Bolton (Milan, Tennessee) completed his perfect return to PBR Teams with an 87.50-point strike atop The Heat, ending the weekend 3-for-3 and drumming up some early momentum for the Mavericks. Bob Mitchell (Steelville, Missouri) answered the call for New York in the top of the second to extend the Mavericks’ run, as New York was up 175.70-0 courtesy of his 88.20 points on Big Dawg.
Daniel Feitosa (Guaraci, Brazil) recorded an 89.80-point ride on El Chapo for Nashville in the bottom of the second, but the surging Mavericks answered in the third as Marco Rizzo (Quitman, Georgia) made it three-straight for New York by scoring 87.50 points on Lap Dancer, re-establishing New York’s two-bull lead. The electric showcase continued as Rogério Venâncio scored a stateside career-best 90.05 points on Fury to bring Nashville within one score. However, Afonso Quintino (São Luís de Montes Belos) logged a fourth-consecutive ride for New York (87.85) to ultimately clinch the win and keep the Mavericks’ perfect game hopes alive. Leandro Zapollo (Pirassununga, Brazil) was dispatched to the dirt in 6.94 seconds in the fifth to break up the perfect game. Riquelmi Silva (Bom Jesus do Araguaia, Brazil) recorded a third score for Nashville, 89.35 points on Velvet Revolver, but the Stampede still came up short. Nashville dropped all three games at Rattler Days but remain ranked No. 3 overall.
Fire Zone was the high-marked bull of the event with 47.4 points, bucking off Josh Frost in 4.87 seconds during Sunday’s final game. His out represents the highest bull score of the 2026 season.
