3rd Quarter: Daunte Bell reentered the game and found his groove, all of it started on a short pass to Nick Gentilella scoring the first Oiler Touchdown of the season on the first possession of the 2nd half. On the next possession it was a deep pass from Bell to Vandermade for the 50+ yard score.

Next was a interception by Musashi Ray with a huge return. The biggest one though easily went to Nathan Tauanuu stopping Mayfair in the redzone for the pick 6.
