Drake buries Valparaiso with 6 sacks and a special teams touchdown in 27-3 victory
The Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0) allowed only 84 yards passing and their six sacks led to minus-4 yards rushing for the Beacons (2-4, 0-2).

Dunning is the current PFL Special Teams player of the week for his performance as a placekicker in last week's win over San Diego.
