Season 8, Week 6: 5-0 Dragons host 3-1 Giants

The Giants come in off their bye, refreshed and virtually injury free. The Dragons, on the other hand … have the same hospital roster as last week with two exceptions: WR1 Louis Forbes, though still fighting off tonsillitis, will join the lineup, and WR2 Robbie Thompson, will fight through a broken finger.

And once again, injuries be hanged, QB Dakota Corriveau is playing like the obvious NFL MVP! In a similar formula to last week, the Dragons score on their first 5 possessions of the ballgame and take 31 points into the locker room at halftime. Then the SS Mitch Plante-led defense finishes off the opponent in the second half.

The stats in this one were just gaudy:

Corriveau – 33 of 40, 394 yds, 4 TDs, 141.0 QB rating
WR Louis Forbes – 8 of 10, 133 yards, 1 TD
WR2 Robbie Thompson – 8 of 10, 62 yds, 2 TD
SS Mitch Plante – 7 tackles, 2 passes defensed, a sack

Dragons rack up 522 yards on the day, while holding the Giants to a paltry 39 yards rushing.

And once again, newly unleashed weapon FB Dwight Stanton catches a TD pass, to go along with 2 KRBs and a pancake block. The athletic, 4th-round pick out of Cedar Rapids appears to have finally found a niche in the Dragon offense, as he's caught more passes for more yards and more TDs already in this season than in any of his previous three whole seasons.

The final result doesn't reflect how lopsided the game actually was, as Dragons roll to victory, 38-17.
