Season 6, Week 16: 6-8 Titans visit 5-9 Dragons

Again, the rookie threw for 300, and again the defense roared. SS Mitch Plante racked up 2 picks, and FS Gerald Barnes snagged another to seal a 13-10 victory.

Season 6, Week 17: 6-9 Des Moines travels to 6-9 Green Bay

With second place in the NFC North on the line (for what that's worth), QB Dakota Corriveau returned to the lineup. And after a brutal, 0-5 start to the season, the Dragons salvaged a 7-9 season, as Corriveau found WR Louis Forbes for just enough, and the potentially dominating Dragon D obliterated the Pack passing attack with 3 picks (2 by safety stud Gerald Barnes and the third by fellow safety stud Mitch Plante) and EIGHT sacks.

Check out this line for DE Elias "Beast" Reese: 6 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 3 hurries, 8 knockdowns. Dang.

Dragons win, 16-14.

And with that, the Dragons rattle off 3 straight wins to end the miserable season that began with 5 straight losses. Does this mean a turn has been made for the better? And what's with Iowa's celebrated #1 overall draft pick (by Chicago) Grayson Shello flaming out? Could the player the Dragons almost traded the farm to get really be that bad? Was Jack Ledger right to stick with Dakota Corriveau after all?
