Season 6, Week 15: 5-8 Bears visit 4-9 Dragons

This game held some drama, as a pair of rookie quarterbacks from the same college squared off against one another: Heisman Trophy winner Grayson Shello and his former backup, Julian Price, both from the University of Iowa.

And at the end of the day, it was the former backup who came out on top! Price didn’t have a particularly good day, throwing for only 216 yards and a pair of picks. But the highly touted Shello was abysmal, completing only 11 passes for 56 yards, suffering 6 sacks along the way.

Veteran Dragon CB Mitch Wells added insult to injury and sealed the 17-3 victory with a pick-6 late in the 4th.
