Season 5, Week 2: 1-0 Dragons travel to 0-1 Oakland

The pass rush power continued this week for the Dragons, who kept a lid on the Raiders with 6 sacks and 10 hurries. The rookie defenders continued to play well.

The offense, alas, continued to struggle, especially in the air. QB Dakota Corriveau has yet to throw a TD pass this season. He did, however, run one in, and RB Drake Boyette ran in a pair, giving Des Moines the comfortable victory, 27-10.

Season 5, Week 3: 2-0 Des Moines visits 1-1 New Orleans

Oh, the heartbreak!

After a struggling first half, QB Dakota Corriveau kicked it into gear, threw his first TD pass of the season, racked up over 300 yards passing, found a good connection with WR Louis Forbes (7 catches, 141 yards, and a score), and brought back the Dragons to take the lead with only a minute left!

Then … the Saints ran the ensuing kickoff all the way back for the winning score. Ugh. Can't believe this one is a loss, 24-20.
