Trailing 18-14 midway through the fourth Chelsea attempted a fake punt that was stopped by the Nowata defense. The Ironmen got the ball and use a sucessful fake punt of their own to keep a drive going. Later on in the drive Dillon Barnes gavce the Ironmen the lead with a six-yard touchdown run

After earning its first lead of the season Nowata alowed a 72-yard touchdwon to Chelsea to give them them a lead they woudln't give up.
