Season 5, Week 17: 3-12 Bears come to 10-5 Des Moines

With a potential bye on the line and a chance to run the table in the NFC North (but a slough of banged up players), Des Moines hosted the lowly Bears.

And again, it was the defense that came up big. 6 sacks and a pair of turnovers plagued the Bears, while the Dragons …

… stunk.

Yet, still – Dakota Corriveau played safe, nearly flawless football. The young QB completed 18 of 20 passes for a pedestrian, yet effective, 189 yards and a score, even enduring a broken nose in the process and still persisting. In the end, it was enough, as Des Moines wins, 13-7.
