Season 5, Week 12: 6-4 Chiefs visit 7-3 Dragons

In a battle of division leaders, the difference was yet again the Dragon D and Corriveau avoiding the turnover.

The Dragons opened the game with three, consecutive scoring drives (what team is THIS?), including a 66-yard catch and run, as WR Louis Forbes raced around and away from defenders to the house.

After that, it was a defensive slug fest, led by ascending rookie sensation, FS Gerald Barnes. On the day, Barnes led the team with 6 tackles, defended 3 passes, and intercepted another. WR Louis Forbes finished with 6 catches on 8 targets for 113 and a score, and Corriveau played mistake-free ball, notching 19 of 23 for 265 and a score, QB rating 118.2.

This one felt really, really good. Dragons get a key victory, 19-17.
