The Blizzard and the Slaughter would then exchange rushing touchdowns to end the first quarter. Chicago outscored the Blizzard 21-10 in the first.

 

The Blizzard got on the board first with a Jordan Wettstein 39 yard field goal. However, the Slaughter finished the scoring in the quarter as Blizzard WB Donovan Porterie completed intentional grounding in the endzone for a safety. Then Slaughter QB Cody Kirby added a 17 yard touchdown run to extend the Slaughter's lead to 16 at the half. Green Bay trailed Chicago 29-13 at the half.

 

Green Bay responded quickly in the third quarter as RB Joshua Murray broke several tackles in route to 17 yard touchdown.  The fourth quarter began as Slaughter QB Cody Kirby rushed for his third touchdown of the night on a one yard run.  The Blizzard were then able to add three touchdowns at the end of the game with touchdown passes to Aaron Kapeliela-Higdon and Charles Dowdell and a Porterie run.

 

Porterie completed 17 of 28 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns however it was his three interceptions that ultimately sealed the Blizzard's fate.
