Season 7, Week 7: 4-1 Dragons visit 1-4 San Francisco

The Dragons got some outstanding performances out of their star players, including 143 yards receiving from WR1 Louis Forbes, a 101 QB rating from Dakota Corriveau, and SS Mitch Plante racking up a team-leading 10 tackles and a pick-6.

But two missed field goals from kicker Alexis Galloway (barely an NFL-caliber player, but what choice do we have? Iowa won't produce any kickers!!), including a last-second doink, sent the game to overtime.

The 49ers boast a pair of 2nd-year playmakers at WR and RB, both of whom went over 100 yards receiving for the game, including some key receptions in overtime. It was enough to get Frisco into FG range, and the Dragons drop a surprise loss, 23-20.

More worrisome, however, is the state of San Fran's field, as the benches on both teams were littered with injuries after the game. The Dragons are walking wounded right now, and the bye is in the rearview mirror.
