Season 3, Week 14: 3-9 Dragons visit 9-3 Cleveland

Bloodbath expected, as the Dragons can't field a full linebacker squad or offensive line, due to injury.

But Corriveau is starting to feel the heat of leading a losing squad. The youngster is getting downright angry. On the opening drive, the rookie flashed an eye-popping stiff arm en route to a 64-yard TD scramble. Later in the game, he pressed and pressed (a bit too much), tossing 3 picks, but dauntlessly driving for 2 scores in the game's final 5 minutes. For the third time this year, the kid looked unstoppable in the final minutes of the ball game. He could be a real comeback kid in the not-too-distant future.

For now, however, not even Corriveau's balls-to-the-walls performance could make up for a defense that is decimated by injury. Dragons lose the by surprisingly close score of 38-33.

Season 3, Week 15: 3-10 Dragons visit division leading 8-5 Chicago

MLB Dale Griffin returned, which helped put the clamps on Chicago's running game. Alas, Chicago's defense also put the hurt to the Dragon offense. The Dragons drop another loss, 23-6.

Fans are starting to look beyond this dismal season to the draft. Des Moines' draft position is climbing higher and higher ... and a quick peek into the college ranks suggests this might be a very good year for that
