Season 5, Week 14: 8-4 Dragons fly out to 5-7 San Diego.

On the road for the first time in weeks, with WR Louis Forbes limping most of the game, the old, offensive ineptitude reared its ugly head again. The defense, now confirmed a formidable force, did their job incredibly admirably.

But with one second left on the clock, after Corriveau had pushed the Dragons into field goal range, Des Moines' young kicker, Alexis Galloway, MISSED the game winner.

In overtime, the defenses ruled again, as each team had three possessions. In the end, however, San Diego's kicker proved the more accurate, and the Chargers hit the game winner. Des Moines drops another one we shouldn't have with this 16-13 loss.

Worse yet, we lost a pair of key starters, likely for the rest of the year in TE Kelvin Satterfield and rookie OLB Bob Clinton.
