548 – NET YARDS OF OFFENCE BY CALGARY
This is the type of offensive performance that the Calgary Stampeders envisioned when they traded for quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. in the off-season.
The pivot completed 28 of 36 passes for 428 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in his most explosive outing with the Red and White.
Running back Dedrick Mills was also efficient once more, rushing 14 times for 85 yards for an average of 6.1 yards per carry.
4 – RECEIVERS OVER 50 YARDS FOR CALGARY
A big part of the Stamps’ success was receiver Damien Alford, who caught six passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
The rookie wasn’t the only receiver that contributed to the win, though, as Dominique Rhymes (88), Jalen Philpot (86) and Erik Brooks (50, one touchdown) also went over 50 receiving yards.
16 – RUSHING YARDS BY SASKATCHEWAN
The Riders entered the game as the top rushing offence in the league (138.5 yards per game) but were unable to gain anything against a stout Stampeders defensive front.

The Stamps also forced four turnovers (two fumbles, two turnover on downs) to keep the Riders to only 10 total points.
