The Maulers season has been field with offensive woes and field goals, while Houston has had its fair share of thrillers. Both of these trends continued in this thrilling matchup.

Late into the fourth quarter, with the game on the line, none other than MVP candidate Mark Thompson iced the game for Houston with a 33 yard rushing score, completing the comeback and landing Houston its 5th win of the year, keeping it in the race for the USFL South regular season title. Pittsburgh now faces elimination from the playoffs next year at home against the Michigan Panthers, while Houston looks to take the division lead from Birmingham.

However, McGough fumbled a handoff, resulting in a turnover and a Philadelphia possession. at midfield. Cookus would seize the opportunity, throwing a 24 yard score to Corey Coleman to take a 14-7 lead into the half.

Both of these teams entered this game on very odd seasons. New Orleans began 4-0 before entering an 0-3 skid, while the Panthers entered having just ended their own 0-4 skid, however, Michigan had been 3-0 on the road with all their losses coming at home in Detroit. The first quarter would see no action as, aside from a Breakers redzone fumble, neither team came close to scoring. The second half was all fireworks though, as the two squads combined for 31 points in the quarter. The Breakers would shoot out to a massive 21-0 lead in the second half, as Wes Hills ran in a score, followed by McLeoud Bethel-Thompson hitting Johnnie Dixon twice for the three scores. However, with just 42 seconds left in the half, Michigan would score as Josh Love hit Marcus Baugh on a monster 51-yard score, before Warren Saba would pick off Bethel-Thompson and give the Panthers a field goal opportunity to end the half, cutting the 21-0 lead to 11 with a halftime score of    21-10. Yet another Bethel-Thompson pick would lead to Josh Love hitting Trey Quinn on the first play of the drive for a score, allowing the Panthers to score 17 unanswered points and cutting the once 21-0 deficit to 4. What began as a Breakers blowout turned a highly competitive game. both teams would exchange a field goal, as the Panthers, down 24-20, stared at a possible comeback win scenario. However, throughout the second half, all three Michigan timeouts were spent in odd ways. After Josh Love faced 3 sacks and lost 23 yards, and even got sacked out of field goal range, Michigan was forced to punt with around 4 minutes left. New Orleans failed to run out all of the clock, leaving Michigan with 42 seconds left. However, with their timeouts already burned and a Breakers pass rush flattening their offensive line, Michigan fell just short of a massive comeback win, 24-20. New Orleans heads to Memphis to attempt to keep their playoff hopes alive, as Michigan takes on Pittsburgh with the potential to knock their division rival out of the playoffs.
