Season 6, Week 6: 0-4 Des Moines travels to 2-2 Chicago

QB Dakota Corriveau, fresh off his big contract extension, was given the chance to prove it in dramatic fashion, by immediately taking on the rookie No. 1 overall draft pick that Des Moines GM Jack Ledger couldn't trade for, QB Grayson Shello.

Thus far this season, the two have been equally ineffective. Shello, buoyed by an outstanding rushing attack, has been far more conservative, throwing for fewer than half as many yards as Corriveau. But Corriveau, without a rushing attack at all, has also tossed twice as many INTs. Corriveau boasts a dismal 76.4 QB rating, while Shello is even worse, at 73.2.

In the game itself, both QBs looked equally pedestrian – each threw for about 200 yards a score and a pick. And while Corriveau showed better pocket presence and avoided the rush, the Dragons had no match for Chicago's running game, which outgained Des Moines by over 100 yards. Once again, no running game means no glory, as Des Moines drops the painful loss, 27-17.
