Seattle Leathernecks Dominate Burlington Boss Hogs in Resounding Week 7 Victory
Written by Dale Walters and Adam Ireland
In a display of unwavering determination and resilience, the Seattle Leathernecks triumphed over the Burlington Boss Hogs in a decisive Week 7 showdown, reclaiming their winning form and solidifying their position within the league standings. The Leathernecks, coming off a challenging two-game slide and navigating through off-field adjustments under the leadership of Owner Nathan Simmons, were eager to reassert their dominance on the gridiron, facing off against the 3-3 Boss Hogs in an exhilarating clash of football prowess.
The stage was set for Seattle to redefine their trajectory, marked by a strategic lineup shift bolstered by the recent trade bringing in powerhouse players Aaron Jones and George Pickens from El Paso. The addition of Pickens and Jones injected fresh vigor into an already formidable Leathernecks’ roster, setting the tone for an electrifying battle on the field.
As the game unfolded, it became apparent that the Leathernecks were on a mission to dominate, leaving no room for the Boss Hogs to establish their footing. The Burlington team from Vermont grappled with a slew of challenges across multiple positions, with only Tight End Dallas Goedert managing to salvage some pride, amassing 18.7 points in a valiant effort on National Tight End Day. However, the team’s lackluster performance from key players, including quarterback Justin Herbert’s season-low 12 points and Josh Jacobs struggling to reach double-digit points, underscored the Boss Hogs’ struggle to find their rhythm, particularly in the wide receiver department.
The Leathernecks, despite fielding only a limited roster, displayed an exemplary show of force, with their wide receiver contingent leading the charge. Tyreek Hill’s stellar 25.8 points, Jakobi Meyers’ reliable 18 points, and the impactful debut of George Pickens with 15.7 points showcased the team’s offensive prowess and resilience, propelling them to a resounding victory.
With this well-deserved triumph, the Leathernecks now stand at an encouraging 4-3 record, eager to carry the momentum forward as they prepare to face the red-hot 5-2 Des Moines Raiders in a highly anticipated clash next week. Despite the convincing win, the Leathernecks remain aware of the challenges that lie ahead, understanding that each victory must be earned with hard work and perseverance.
Looking ahead, the Boss Hogs aim to regain their footing as they gear up to face the 1-6 Aces next Sunday, hoping to leverage the opportunity to bounce back and re-establish their presence within the league standings.
