The Calgary Stampeders may have played a nothing game Friday night at McMahon Stadium, but in the process sent the British Columbia Lions a loss with the postseason on the horizon.
According to TSN, Kevin Glenn threw for 173 yards, 104 yards to wide receiver Maurice Price, in a 41-21 romp over the British Columbia Lions.
The Calgary Stampeders are back at the .500 mark in the CFL’s western division.
Thursday night at McMahon Stadium, wide receiver Nik Lewis had the hat trick, as he caught three touchdown passes as the Stampeders rallied for a 41-38 overtime win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Lewis caught seven passes for 98 yards.
The Stampeders were once down 35-18 in the fourth quarter, but turned things around thanks to a touchdown pass from Kevin Glenn to Lewis followed by an immediate interception by Malik Jackson which set up another touchdown to Larry Taylor.
Then down by only a field goal, Rene Paredes tied the game on the final play of regulation.
The Stampeders had great defense in overtime as they sacked Darian Durant, and forced the Roughriders to kick long field goal in their possession. The Stampeders meanwhile got a touchdown pass from Glenn to Lewis that won Calgary the game.
The Stampeders improve to 2-2 while the Roughriders drop to 3-1.
For Calgary to compete for first in the west, they will need to be better disciplined. They took too many penalties. Offensive lineman Dimitri Tsoumpas was ejected for hitting a Roughrider in the face.
The Stampeders grade this week is a B+ (an A on offence, and a C+ on defense).

After very brutal performances (one from the defense and one from the offense over the last two weeks), the Calgary Stampeders bounced back in a big way from both sides of the football Friday night at McMahon Stadium.
In front of a solid crowd of 31, 167 fans, the Stamps trounced the Montreal Alouettes 46-21 in a battle of two first place teams.
As successfully predicted by Any Sport Any Time’s cricket expert Ron Saywack, the Stamps rebounded. Henry Burris had 412 passing yards–169 to Ken-Yon Rambo and 146 to Romby Bryant.
