Season 4, Week 1: Dragons travel to Chicago

The first quarter of this contest was ugly, as young QB Dakota Corriveau tossed a pick six and the Dragons fell behind.

It continued to look bleak until right after before the half, when, with 22 seconds left, FS Herb Dallesandro snagged the ball out the of air and answered with a pick 6 of our own.

In the second half, the Dragons found a little more rhythm, and despite a poor day from the young QB overall, Corriveau found rookie WR Louis Forbes for his first NFL regular season touchdown. It proved enough, as Dragons pick up a key, in-division win, 17-15.

Of note, fellow rookie DE Elias Reese made his presence felt as well, notching five tackles, a sack, and two QB hurries.


Season 4, Week 2: 0-1 Patriots visit 1-0 Dragons

We outgained 'em, out rushed 'em, outplayed 'em up and down the field. Ricardo "ManChild" Heuring seems grateful to have a legitimate pass-rush threat on the other side, as he racked up 3.5 sacks, 3 knockdowns, and a safety.

But in the end, four dropped passes and a pair of interceptions put us behind the 8-ball. With only seconds to play, and driving just outside field goal range, QB Dakota Corriveau tossed his third pick of the day, sealing a heartbreaking, close loss, 27-26.
