Season 7, Week 13: 5-6 Dragons try to right the ship at 9-2 Carolina

Yep, the Dragons are in the middle of a losing skid, and they must knock off a 9-2 Carolina team to get thing turned around.

The good news is that rookie DE Bo Tremmel and nickel back Broderick Garcia have returned from injury, giving the Dragons their healthiest defense yet this season. The bad news is that Carolina still has QB superstar Darien Peterson, perhaps the smartest, most efficient QB in the league, eating opposing defenses for lunch.

And once again, an elite, balanced offense proved too much for the once-great Dragon D. Darien Peterson completed 27 of 38 for 252 and 3 TDs, while the Dragons could only sack him twice and couldn't generate a turnover.

Corriveau played well again, leading to a pair of 4th-quarter TDs, but it just wasn't enough, as Des Moines sees their season start to fade after a 30-24 loss.
