Season 3, Week 1: Vikings visit Dragons

An important in-division game. Perhaps an even more important turn of events.

The Dragons played well today, even outgaining the Vikings and their all-star QB Kris Van Pelt. But a shocking 8 turnovers killed Des Moines. What's more, 7 of those turnovers were courtesy of QB Nathaniel Witt.

"The Captain" fumbled away 5 possessions and tossed a pair of picks, leading Coach O'Dea to send in the rookie, QB Dakota Corriveau. In a true trial by fire, Corriveau got the ball on his own 2 yard line with only 2:05 left in the game.

What happened next was stunning. Corriveau ripped off 5-of-5 passing for 83 yards. He scrambled for 6 more on a critical 3rd down. The team marched all the way to 9-yard-line, when Corriveau found WR3 Rod Corbett on a crossing route for the TD.

It wasn't enough to win the game, and Corriveau did struggle when he got the ball back with 36 seconds left, but was it enough? Is it time for "The Captain" to pass the baton? Fans are really flocking to the rookie, and Coach O'Dea will have some tough decisions to make after this 43-28 loss.
