Blowout

ROUT

["Think of a one-sided victory where the losing team is completely overwhelmed, often used in sports or battles."]

"Blowout" is a term often used in sports to describe a game where one team wins by a huge margin, which is exactly what "rout" means—a decisive, lopsided victory. The clue plays on the double meaning of "blowout," which can also refer to a tire bursting, but here it’s purely about the sports context. Since both words imply overwhelming dominance, "rout" fits as the straightforward answer.
