Vernon Adams Jr. and the Stampeders<\/a> outlasted a furious Ottawa comeback bid to escape McMahon Stadium with a 40-38 win.<\/p>\n

The Calgary Stampeders<\/a> needed every last point to hold off the Ottawa Redblacks<\/a>, who put up 38 points and 426 yards of offense and still walked away with nothing to show for it. Calgary improves to 7-8 and keeps its playoff pulse alive, while Ottawa drops to 0-14 on the season despite arguably its best offensive output of the year. Rene Paredes hit from 62 yards in the final seconds to keep the Redblacks<\/a> from its first win of the season.<\/p>\n

Quick Hits<\/p>\n

Bethel-Thompson threw five touchdown passes and still ended up on the losing side \u2014 Ottawa’s defense simply couldn’t slow down Calgary’s ground game or Adams’ arm when it mattered.<\/p>\n

Quincy Vaughn<\/a> punched in two short-yardage touchdowns on the ground, and those four extra points were the difference in a two-point final margin.<\/p>\n

Keelan White turned three targets into three touchdowns \u2014 an efficient, if quiet, night that fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n
