Season 5, Week 13: 4-7 Arizona comes to 8-3 Des Moines.

The Cardinals bring with them the 1st-round QB that Jack Ledger passed up in the most recent draft (because he wasn't from Iowa). The Dragon D, however, made him look like a joke. On the day, the rookie completed less than half his passes, only threw for 92 yards, and notched a 34.3 QB rating.

Statistically, the Dragons dominated.

Alas, WR Louis Forbes went down to injury in the first quarter, and Dragon QB Dakota Corriveau started to fall apart without his security blanket. 4 picks for Corriveau in a game that looked a lot like last year.

And even though rookie first rounders, OLB Bob Clinton and FS Gerald Barnes, both picked off their fellow rookie on the opposite side of the ball, two of Corriveau's turnovers resulted in defensive scores for the Cardinals (of 92 and 98 yards, respectively). In a fluke game we shouldn't have lost, Des Moines loses, 31-17.
