CALGARY \u2014 The Calgary Stampeders\u2019 offence came alive at McMahon Stadium on Thursday night, as the Stamps ran past the Toronto Argonauts 58-36.<\/p>\n

The win marked the Stampeders\u2019 second straight victory in the Stampede Bowl in what was a high-scoring affair. With it being the opening game of FanDuel Canada Day Weekend, it should come as no surprise that there were offensive fireworks.<\/p>\n

CFL.ca brings you three key stats from the Stampeders\u2019 win over the Argonauts in Week 5.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 VERNON ADAMS JR. PASSING TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

The offensive firepower came from what was one of the best performances from a Calgary pivot ever, as Vernon Adams Jr.\u2019s six passing touchdowns tied a Calgary single-game record with numerous other pivots.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t done there, as the gunslinger added a seventh major along the ground to go with 405 passing yards and zero interceptions.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s Chad Kelly had four majors of his own, but it was Adams\u2019 record-tying day that won out.<\/p>\n

496 \u2013 STAMPEDERS NET OFFENCE<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be hard to lose when you put up just shy of 500 yards of net offence, and that\u2019s what Calgary\u2019s unit did. Five different receivers caught multiple passes, while four of them finished with touchdowns, all while Mills added 66 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n

After coming into the week last in passing yards and net offence per game, this was a big result in front of the home crowd for Calgary.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 ZY ALEXANDER INTERCEPTIONS<\/p>\n

Though Toronto\u2019s offence found success, they weren\u2019t perfect, and rookie defensive back Zy Alexander made them pay. The 24-year-old single-handedly helped Calgary win the turnover battle (2-1) with both of his interceptions, one of which was an impressive one-handed grab.<\/p>\n

Through two starts, Alexander now has three picks, as he has done a great job of stepping into an injured Stampeders defensive back room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner, World Vision Canada works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-777047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777047","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=777047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
