Game Notes

Including last Friday’s 31-31 tie in Ottawa, the REDBLACKS and Stampeders have gone to overtime in three of their last four meetings.

Crazy 8’s: REDBLACKS #88 Brad Sinopoli produced 88 yards of offence on 8 receptions in the season opener as he looks to make it a third straight season earning 1000+ receiving yards.

Former Stampeders-turned-REDBLACKS linebacker Taylor Reed, who won a Grey Cup with Ottawa last year after being released earlier in the season by Calgary, had eight tackles against his former team last weekend.

?‍?I wouldn't have minded this guy in the lineup..

-Neither team gave up a sack when Calgary and Ottawa met last weekend.

On the injury front, Calgary will be without star receiver DaVaris Daniels (neck) and defensive end Ja’Gared Davis.

48.6 – Average punt for Ottawa’s Brett Maher, owner of the CFL’s best mark through Week 1.

88 – Career sacks for Calgary’s Charleston Hughes, who needs two to eclipse Brent Johnson and Brett Williams for No. 13 on the all-time CFL sack-leader list.

Word filtered out late Wednesday that Powell would be scratched, while Mossis Madu and Brendan Gillanders are chomping at the bit for touches.

Farhan Lalji - #BCLions have also released Cdn OL Jeremy Zver and offered him a spot on their PR. Wouldn't be surprised if another team picked him up. #CFL

Haven't seen anyone mention this, but Durant continues to confirm that he should've been picked ahead of Addy Richards.
