Bo Levi Mitchell will face his former team with a league-leading 4,576 passing yards to go along with 26 touchdowns which is also tops in the CFL.

This is the second and final regular season meeting between these two. Calgary picked up a 32-24 home-opening win back on June 7. Clark Barnes and Cam Echols had touchdowns in the victory and Dedrick Mills had 87-yards on the ground.
