Calgary Stampeders

The Roughriders put together an 18-7 rally last week, and the Stampeders outplayed Hamilton by a 23-6 margin in the fourth quarter and overtime on Saturday. Stampeders safety Titus Wall also had an interception in the third quarter and stripped Evans on a quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter. That appeared to be the case in the first half, playing behind a revamped offensive line. On Hamilton's next possession, they were stopped on third down at Calgary's nine-yard line when Thurman stopped a quarterback sneak from Matt Shiltz. "It's going to sting, and it should. "Everybody showed up at the right time," Mitchell added.

The Tiger-Cats allowed a 24-3 first-half lead to slip away and wasted an outstanding showing from quarterback Dane Evans.

First, Wall picked off Evans in the end zone. The first drive resulted in a 21-yard field goal. Paredes drilled a 46-yard field goal after Hamilton defensive back Tunde Adeleke floored his former Calgary teammate Peyton Logan with a clean hit to cause an incomplete pass. But they deferred to the Ticats, who started with the wind and the ball before 22,711 fans at Tim Hortons Field. Michael Domagala hit for Hamilton with 79 seconds remaining, and Paredes split the uprights as regulation time expired. A second touchdown pass from Mitchell, this time a 17-yard connection to receiver Reggie Begelton with 5:48 remaining, closed the gap to 27-20.

HAMILTON — The Calgary Stampeders were able to shake off a 21-point first-half deficit on Saturday to stun the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in overtime, 33-30.

Paredes lined up his fourth field goal of the night, sending a 39-yarder home to send the game to overtime. In the extra session, Paredes was called upon again and his 35-yard field goal put the Stamps up by three. Former Stamps’ DB Tunde Adeleke made a big play for the Ticats to break up a Jorden reception deep in Calgary’s end that forced the team to punt. While the Stamps were playing better in the second half, they had a big hill to climb to get back into the game. As the Ticats pressed on a short yardage play with under four minutes to go, Wall made an even bigger play than his interception. Evans found Steven Dunbar Jr. for a 38-yard touchdown hookup with zeroes on the clock, sending the crowd at Tim Hortons Field into a frenzy.

But all the guys stepped up and made the plays.” “I’ve done those a million times, and that play was over,” Evans said. He’s the best kicker in the game.”

HAMILTON — Had they simply cut into the lead and made the finish respectable, it wouldn't have been the end of the world for the Calgary Stampeders.

Most important, after a 2021 season that was below the organization’s high standards, it felt like the Stamps of old were back. Bo Levi Mitchell, a two-time Grey Cup winner in Calgary ran over to the TSN panel after the win was sealed by Jameer Thurman‘s overtime interception, emotion spilling out of the two-time MOP. “With the start that we had, it made sure the guys stay together and that we keep fighting. Defensive back Titus Wall made a pair of game-changing plays, intercepting Dane Evans and following it up with a strip of the quarterback as he looked for a first down on short yardage. With all those mistakes that we made, we were still in the game. Instead, the Stamps spent the next 33-ish minutes carving out what just might be a foundation for the next 16 regular season games and beyond.

The CFL is the exclusive property of TSN from a broadcast perspective. Evans had a game-high 22 yards on six carries, while the other rushers were effectively bottled up. A 37-yard field goal attempt by the Ticats was good but it didn’t matter, as the Stamps had too many men on the field. On the flip side, only six of the incompletions went less than 15 yards downfield, meaning that on balls that travelled more than 15 yards in the air, Mitchell was just 4-of-12. Rather it states under Article 4, Section K that “tackling an opponent by grabbing the inside collar of the side or back of the shoulder pads, or jersey” is an infraction. Earlier, I said that Dane Evans was taking advantage of a young Stampeders’ secondary. The old adage tells us that we learn something new every day. Dane Evans moved the ball at will before the break, amassing 273 total offensive yards and 245 through the air. That changed in the last two. Of Mitchell’s 28 completions, only four were throws of 15 or more yards down the field. I think our secondary has to rally. After the game, Bo Levi Mitchell referenced some other large come-from-behind wins he has seen in his career.

Next, Mitchell fired a pass to Jorden for a gain of 31. Mitchell went to Logan on back to back plays resulting in a 19 yard reception and 20 yard reception respectively. Rookie DB Titus Wall pushed the Stamps closer with a fumble recovery in the late stages of the fourth quarter. Peyton Logan made a couple plays to push the Red and White downfield. Mitchell then found Malik Henry down the middle for a gain of 21 yards. The Stamps first drive of the second half resulted in a two and out.

No guarantees, of course, but if they play well there’s no reason the Calgary crew can’t come out of their next two with a 4-0 record. Considering that he was basically the third-choice running back two weeks ago for the Stamps, that’s awfully impressive. Thurman himself had four defensive tackles, but also sealed the deal in overtime with a game-winning interception. On Saturday, Cam Judge finished the game with nine defensive tackles. He’s got a unique ability to help the guy next to him rack up big numbers, and that’s proving true again this year. The recent addition of Trumaine Washington should help, and hopefully Wilson’s not out for long. Look, the defensive backfield just wasn’t very good in the first half. Regardless of how well they’ve played after halftime against the Ticats and the Montreal Alouettes, those slow starts can’t continue. There were dropped passes, a costly offside penalty and at least one long pass down the sideline that looked like it could have been caught. In the second half, Mitchell put the team on his back. The Stamps tried using Charlie Power at running back in the second half, but that’s not a real solution. The Stampeders are 2-0, with two thrilling, hardfought and too-close-for-comfort wins under their belt.
