Week 3
Despite Houston's pride and joy Earl Campbell injured and their quarterback Ken Stabler intercepting two passes, the Colts couldn't capitalize on their opportunity as they fell to the Oilers. 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.
