In a game that underscored the Atlanta Force’s growing momentum under head coach Jeremy Ramirez, the Force delivered a statement performance with a 36-0 shutout of the visiting Stallions on Sunday at home. The victory not only extends the Force’s undefeated streak to 7-0 but also solidifies their place as a dominant force in the division with a 2-0 record in division play.

From the outset, the Force’s defense set the tone. Just 19 seconds into the game, Scottie Thorpe intercepted Stallions quarterback Mike Hunt and returned it 19 yards, setting the foundation for an aggressive and disruptive defensive presence. This interception was a harbinger of the challenges the Stallions would face all afternoon, including three interceptions and two forced fumbles recovered by the Force’s defense led by standout safeties Jeffrey Buckley and Terence Roderick.

Offensively, the Force leaned heavily on a potent rushing attack that piled up an impressive 234 yards on 45 carries. William Sneed was the workhorse of the ground game, rushing for a game-high 158 yards and one touchdown. His ability to consistently gain yardage helped control the clock and wear down the Stallions’ defense. Meanwhile, Frank Whiting contributed with 30 rushing yards and added a touchdown through the air, showcasing the versatility of the Force backfield.

Quarterback George Coulter efficiently managed the offense, completing 20 of 32 passes for 209 yards and two touchdown passes, despite being intercepted once. His connection with wide receiver Moe Lester, who had 37 receiving yards along with a rushing touchdown, was a highlight, as was the impact of tight end Donald Gutierrez who hauled in 65 receiving yards, providing crucial first downs and consistent production.

The Force’s special teams also made a significant contribution. Kicker Donald Doubledoink was perfect on his three field goal attempts, including a 43-yard boot early and a 47-yard field goal just before halftime. Punter John Hill’s booming kicks pinned the Stallions deep multiple times, consistently setting up favorable field position for the defense to capitalize.

Stallions head coach Ray Fry faced a tough day. The Stallions’ offensive struggles were evident in their inability to convert possessions into points. Quarterback Mike Hunt was pressured throughout the afternoon, completing only 21 of 42 passes for 148 yards and throwing three interceptions. The ground game was stifled as well, managing just 24 yards on 10 carries. Their solitary field goal attempt was no good—a missed 59-yard attempt early in the first quarter that might have shifted momentum.

Special teams also reflected the Stallions’ woes, as multiple punts were fair caught but failed to generate any real advantage.

While the Stallions managed to hold the Force scoreless on third downs (0/0 attempts) just like the home team, it's evident the Force did not heavily rely on these situations thanks to effective rushing and early scoring drives.

This game further highlights the sustained excellence and continuity within the Force organization, echoing the discussions from earlier in the season about their balanced attack and tenacious defense. The team’s ability to dominate both sides of the ball while maintaining discipline, despite committing eight penalties totaling 71 yards, showcases Coach Ramirez’s strong locker-room leadership and game planning.

Looking ahead, the Force sit second in the division with a perfect record, poised to maintain their momentum and place themselves in a strong position for playoff contention. Their ability to grind out wins on both offense and defense will be key as the season progresses. For the Stallions, the loss drops their record to 4-2-1 and raises questions about red zone execution and ball security that must be addressed if they hope to compete at a higher level this season.

In all, this victory is a testament to the Force’s depth, discipline, and determination — qualities that Jeremy Ramirez has fostered since the start of the season. Fans can be confident this team is not just winning games; they’re building a legacy.
