Season 6, Week 3: 2-0 San Francisco comes to 0-2 Des Moines

In a pair of games this season, rookie RB Douglas Flagg has been largely ineffective, despite scoring his first NFL touchdown vs. Jacksonville. In an effort to shake up a sluggish offense, Coach Kevin O'Dea decided to give RB Jimmy Perot, more of a big-play specialist, the start.

It didn't help. Neither did the run defense, which gave up over 200 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns, then lost both FS Gerald Barnes and SLB Bob Clinton (who both missed the Super Bowl to injuries as well) to broken bones.

Corriveau tossed 351 yards, including 130 to WR1 Louis Forbes and 126 to WR3 Robbie Thompson, but also tossed 4 picks. Added to 5 fumbles, and this was a shocking, blowout loss, 40-16.
