<\/p>\nCALGARY \u2014 The Calgary Stampeders played an efficient game to capture their eighth win of the season at McMahon Stadium on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Red and White didn\u2019t allow a single sack, didn\u2019t commit a turnover and kept the Elks out of the end zone the entire game.<\/p>\n
If that doesn\u2019t explain Calgary\u2019s three-possession win over the Elks,\u00a0CFL.ca brings you three stats that defined the final game of the OK Tire Labour Day Weekend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OK TIRE LABOUR DAY WEEKEND 0 \u2013 SACKS ALLOWED<\/p>\n Calgary\u2019s offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage all game, opening up running lanes and keeping quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. clean all game.<\/p>\n The pivot wasn\u2019t sacked a single time, while running back Dedrick Mills<\/a> finished with 106 rushing yards on 17 carries. That kind of physicality allowed the Stamps to play a clean game and play with a lead all afternoon, leading to the next stats on this list.<\/p>\n 0 \u2013 TURNOVERS<\/p>\n This one is a direct product of the previous stat. Calgary\u2019s dominance upfront allowed Adams Jr. to play a safe game, throwing only 23 passes and finishing with his lowest yardage of the season.<\/p>\n The fact that the Stamps were able to win by 21 points without having to rely on their quarterback\u2019 heroics is a great sign going forward for Calgary.<\/p>\n 0 \u2013 TOUCHDOWNS ALLOWED<\/p>\n The Elks scored seven points on two field goals and a single and were unable to break the plane of goal against the Stamps.<\/p>\n This is especially significant given the fact that Edmonton had scored 58 points combined in their last two games, highlighting Calgary\u2019s defensive effort on Labour Day.<\/p>\n The hosts also gained four sacks by four different players (Folarin Orimolade<\/a>, Jacob Roberts<\/a>, Clarence Hicks<\/a> and Jaylon Hutchings<\/a>) while forcing three total turnovers.<\/p>\n BONUS STAT<\/p>\n Returner\/receiver Erik Brooks scored his first career return major on an 86-yard punt return to give the Stamps breathing room in the third quarter and all but seal away the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CALGARY \u2014 The Calgary Stampeders played an efficient game to capture their eighth win of the season at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-113779","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-football-league","11":"tag-canadianfootballleague","12":"tag-cfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
