CALGARY \u2014 Vernon Adams Jr. was as efficient as it gets in the Calgary Stampeders 44-13 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The pivot played one of his best games of the season to keep the Stamps\u2019 hopes of hosting a playoff game alive going into Week 21.<\/p>\n
Running back Dedrick Mills also extended his lead atop the rushing yards race, giving the Red and White a potent offence to work with as they prepare for the post-season.<\/p>\n
CFL.ca brings you three stats that defined the Calgary Stampeders Week 20 win over the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n
RELATED 3 \u2013 TOUCHDOWN PASSES FOR VERNON ADAMS JR.<\/p>\n It is not that rare in today\u2019s game that a quarterback throws for three touchdown passes. What\u2019s rare is when that number is higher than the number of incomplete passes.<\/p>\n That\u2019s right, Adams Jr. threw three majors while only having two passes hit the ground, finishing 12 of 14 for 213 yards.<\/p>\n The Stamps led this game from start to finish and Adams Jr.\u2019s efficiency is one of the reasons why their lead was never in doubt.<\/p>\n 4 \u2013 TURNOVERS FORCED BY CALGARY<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t only the offence that took care of business for the Stampeders in Week 20. In fact, the defence got on the board first via a pick six by defensive back Adrian Greene.<\/p>\n Overall, Calgary forced four turnovers (two interceptions, two turnovers on downs) on defence and didn\u2019t turn the ball over on offence, winning the takeaway battle four-nothing.<\/p>\n 145 \u2013 RUSHING YARDS BY THE STAMPEDERS<\/p>\n The ground game continues to be a strength for Calgary. After rushing for 211 yards in Week 19, the Stamps added 145 ground yards against the Argos, including 115 for Mills.<\/p>\n That puts the running back at 1,340 yards, more than 150 yards ahead of second-place James Butler (1,185) in the rushing yards race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CALGARY \u2014 Vernon Adams Jr. was as efficient as it gets in the Calgary Stampeders 44-13 win over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-223884","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\/223884","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=223884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
