Season 8, Week 15: 11-2 Dragons host 5-8 Vikings

It wasn't that long ago the Vikings forced 5 turnovers, ran the ball all over the Dragons, and handed Des Moines its second loss of the season. Time for revenge!

Key players returning to the lineup from injury were DE Ricardo "Man Child" Heuring, CB3 Calvin Minnig, and WR4 Isaac Kinney. But would it be enough to reverse fortunes against the Vikings?

In a word … nope.

Vikings QB Kris Van Pelt just seems to be Dragon Kryptonite, while Corriveau continues to struggle without his #2 and #3 targets. What's worse, the Viking #8 rush defense completely dominated the Dragon rushing attack.

The Dragon offense never really got off the ground, and Des Moines drops another loss to the Vikings, 24-13.
