Season 8, Week 2: 1-0 Dragons travel to 0-1 New England

Now it's for real: Coach McDaniels gets his shot at the team that denied him the head coaching job. Will it be a friendly return to Foxborough, or a vengeful visit?

And the answer is … vengeance! Sweet, sweet vengeance.

QB Dakota Corriveau, following a penalty on the opening kickoff, took the Dragons 85 yards, capping it off with a 30-yard TD strike to TE Kelvin Satterfield. Then he led the team to a score on the next drive, and the next, and the next, the Dragons scoring every time they touched the ball in the first half. Despite 11 penalties that slowed them down throughout the game, the Dragons scored on 7 of the day's10 possessions.

Meanwhile, the Dragon D allowed a grand total of ZERO yards rushing. Coupled with 6 sacks, the Pats were simply obliterated.

RB1 Carlton Agree averaged 5.36 yards per carry, and RB2 Bubba Clayton found the end zone again, while WR2 Robbie Thompson lit it up again with 10 catches on 10 targets for 104 yards. WR1 Louis Forbes caught 150 yards and a score, as Corriveau put up 376 yards and a 125.5 rating.

Could McDaniels be the quarterback whisperer the Dragons were missing? Whether he is or not, it sure looks like New England made the wrong coaching call, as Des Moines racks up a convincing 33-9 victory.
