7 Things – Stamps @ Argos

 

1. Us

The Stampeders enter Week 10 following a thrilling 27-23 comeback victory over Toronto on Sunday. Now, they head to Ontario to finish off the home and home. The Stampeders defence was outstanding on Sunday especially in the second half when the Argonauts managed just a single point en route to Calgary outscoring Toronto 21-1.

 

2. Them

The Argonauts are now 4-4 following their loss in Week 9. They enter Week 10 3-1 on their home turf. The Argonauts 4-4 record has them sitting in third place in the east behind Montreal (7-1) and Ottawa (5-2).

3. Head To Head

Friday’s game finishes off a home-and-home series between these two teams. The last time these two met in Toronto it was the Argonauts coming away with the 39-31 home victory. Calgary will look to get their first road win of the season as they are currently 0-4 as the visitor in 2024.

4. Fast Facts

7. Quotable

“It showed the character of this team. It showed that we will never give up on each other and I think you need those moments to really test your team and see what kind of guys you have in this locker room. I think we proved we have some great guys.” – REC Marken Michel on the team’s perseverance in Sunday’s win.
