Season 4, Week 3: 1-1 Dragons visit 2-0 Washington

QB Dakota Corriveau was on fire in this one early, racking up his best game of the season, en route to a 28-6 halftime lead. By the day's end, Corriveau's line read 22-of-32 for 262 yards, 3 scores, and no picks. All three TDs were to TEs, further sign that Corriveau plays well when everyone's involved.

Something happened in the second half, however. The offense sputtered, the defense faltered, and momentum swung, big time. Despite solid pressure from Des Moines' new sack duo – Elias Reese and "ManChild" Heuring – Washington chipped away at the Dragon lead, until, with 12 seconds left, they kicked the winning field goal. For the second week in a row, Dragons lose by a mere point, 28-29.

Season 4, Week 4: 0-3 Rams come to 1-2 Des Moines

The Rams completely shut down the Dragon rushing attack, and for the first time, QB Dakota Corriveau took the team entirely on his shoulders. 33 of 51 passing, 447 yards. WR1 Miles Kinney caught 12 of 15 for 197.

In the end, however, Corriveau tried to do too much. Pressed too hard. 4 picks crushed the Dragons at home. The Iowa boys lose, 23-13.
