Season 7, Week 14: 5-7 Dragons limp back home to host 4-8 Cleveland

Alas, the Dragons may have lost WR1 Louis Forbes for the year against Carolina, thanks to a strained hammy, so the team was definitely down in the dumps when the Browns came to town (that's a clever phrase, no? So long as you don't read an excremental pun into it.)

For QB Dakota Corriveau, not having Forbes was especially hard to take. His game suffered badly, as he reverted to his old ways of tossing picks and failing to hit the big play. It's a sad day when the highest ypc on the team belongs to your fullback (though it was fun to see FB playmaker Dwight Stanton returned from a season-ending injury suffered last year to have an impact on the game).

In the end, however, it was the ManChild who had the last word. DE Ricardo Heuring racked up 3 sacks, and Elias "Beast" Reese added 1.5 to slow down the Browns.

MLB Dale Griffin sealed the game with a sack in the end zone for a safety, and the Dragons get an ugly, but much needed win, 19-16.
