Season 7, Week 16: 7-7 Dragons visit 6-8 Bengals

Another injury, this time to star SS Mitch Plante, has left the Dragon secondary decimated and forced to sign a kid off the street to suit up. Thankfully, a small-school kid with the cool-kid name, Rusty Stone, showed decent enough zone instincts to play a reserve role at free safety.

Alas, the Rusty Stone also injured himself, and despite a solid rushing attack (152 yards at a 5+ ypc clip), the Dragons struggled on 3rd down. The Bengals secondary defended 7 of Corriveau's passes, but the Dragons secondary couldn't seem to bat anything out of the air.

In the end, however, it was a Bengal punt return that did us in, and the Dragons drop one they shouldn't have. A 17-14 loss.
