  • The Edmonton Elks outscored the visiting Calgary Stampeders 21-3 in the second quarter en route to a 37-16 CFL victory Saturday night. With the win, the surging Elks improved to 5-and-8 and escaped the West Division basement with a sweep of the home-and-home series with their provincial rival. The Stampeders, who slipped to 4-and-8, now occupy last spot in the five-team West Division.

 

  • Zach Collaros threw for a touchdown and Sergio Castillo kicked four field goals as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 26-21 in Banjo Bowl XX in Winnipeg. The Bombers have won five in a row while the Roughriders are winless in seven.

 

  • The Redblacks scored early and often on their home turf. Damon Webb returned two interceptions for touchdowns in Ottawa’s 41-27 victory over the Toronto Argonauts. The Redblacks are three points back of Montreal for top spot in the East. Argos quarterback Chad Kelly threw four interceptions.

 

  • William Stanback led the way on a strange night for quarterback Nathan Rourke as the B.C. Lions defeated the league-leading Montreal Alouettes 37-23 on Friday. Rourke had 304 passing yards on 22-for-28 completions, throwing for one TD and running for another. But the 2022 CFL outstanding Canadian also threw three interceptions. Entering Week 15, BC and Winnipeg share the West Division lead at 7-6.
