1. Us

The Stampeders wrap up the 2024 season with a battle in Saskatchewan against the Roughriders on Saturday. Calgary has a chance to play spoiler this week against their rival. A win would stop the Riders from clinching first place in the West. Last weekend, the Stamps fell 42-20 to Hamilton. Veteran cornerback Tre Roberson had an interception for a touchdown in the loss.

2. Them

The Riders have a chance to take first place in the West Division with a win, combined with a Winnipeg loss to Montreal, Saturday afternoon. It would be the first time since 2019 that the Riders finish in the top spot.

3. Head to Head

This is the second and final regular season meeting between these two clubs. The Riders came away with a 37-29 victory at McMahon Stadium during Week 16. Calgary will look to win their first road game of the season this week – they have never gone an entire season in the CFL without a road victory.

4. Fast Facts

The Red and White have a 6-1 regular season record in Regina since Mosaic Stadium opened its doors in 2017. Including the final three games at the venue known for most of its existence as Taylor Field, the Stamps are 9-1 in their 10 most recent regular season visits to Saskatchewan.

Tommy Stevens is two rushing touchdowns away from setting the Stamps single-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback record. He currently has 10 on the season and sits one back of Doug Flutie and Henry Burris who are tied for the record with 11.

Thanks to our Director of Communications Jean Lefebvre for handing off these facts!

5. Who’s Where

6. Players to Watch

Stamps: DL Clarence Hicks: The rookie defensive lineman had two sacks last weekend against Hamilton bringing his total to four on the year. He has also added two interceptions and 15 total tackles this season. On Wednesday he was voted as Calgary’s nominee for the Most Outstanding Rookie award.

Riders: DB Rolan Milligan Jr.: Milligan Jr. enters the final week of the regular season with a lot of ‘MOP’ talk surrounding him. He has a league-leading eight interceptions, is second in the league in special-teams tackles with 20 and has 71 defensive tackles as well.

7. Quotable:

“Football can really reveal your character, especially in tough times, so (we) need to bring the same intensity (every week) whether it’s a championship game or a meaningless game.” – LB Cam Judge on the approach for the last game of the season.
