Rob Carpenter filled in for Campbell and did remarkably well as he carried for 114 yards on 24 carries and 1 touchdown (a 1-yard plunge). Stabler though not perfect did threw 16 of 19 passes for 219 yards and 1 touchdown pass (a 3-yarder to Rich Caster) while the Oilers defense sack Bert Jones 5 times.
