Week 12 - Monday, May 23, 1983. Attendance: 20,042, TV: ESPN.
Scott Norwood kicked a 46-yard field goal 4 minutes 32 seconds into overtime to give the Birmingham Stallions a 23-20 victory that snapped the Michigan Panthers' six-game winning streak. Birmingham, which blocked an extra point with 2:52 left in the fourth quarter to force the overtime, lost the toss but held Michigan. The Stallions took over at the Michigan 35 after the Panthers were penalized for having an ineligible receiver down field on a fake punt play. Birmingham ran three plays to reach the 28 and Norwood, who had missed from 49 yards earlier, easily made the 46-yarder. Both teams were 7-5 in the United States Football League's Central Division in week 12 of the 1983 season.
