1. Us<\/p>\n

The Stamps are looking to grab back-to-back wins when they head down to Hamilton to take on the Tiger-Cats on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Red and White are coming off of an offensive explosion in Week 8, taking down the Blue Bombers 52-30 to start their three-game road trip. Pivot Vernon Adams Jr. threw his 20th touchdown of the season in the tilt, setting the CFL record for most touchdowns thrown without an interception.<\/p>\n

Kickoff for the cross division clash is set for 1:00 p.m. MT.<\/p>\n

Fans can catch all the action on TSN, CTV, CFL+<\/a>\u00a0 or listen on QR Calgary.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Ticats are looking to get back into the win column following a 31-18 Week 8 loss to the Montreal Alouettes and are currently sitting in third in the East Division.<\/p>\n

3. Head to Head<\/p>\n

In 2025, the Stampeders swept Hamilton in two matchups including one which took place at McMahon Stadium to open up the season.<\/p>\n

5. Fast Facts<\/p>\n

Stamps defensive back Ben Labrosse came up big in last week\u2019s road win over Winnipeg. The team\u2019s 2024 first-round pick in the CFL Canadian Draft made his first three CFL interceptions last Friday in his initial start this season and just the 10th of his career. His trio of picks included one in the end zone and another returned 65 yards to set up a Calgary field goal. Labrosse tied the franchise record for interceptions in a single game which had been most recently achieved in the regular season by Tre Roberson in 2019.<\/p>\n
