Calgary Stampeders target third straight CFL victory in Montreal
Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. seeks to guide the Calgary Stampeders to a third consecutive win when they travel to Montreal to face the Alouettes. Adams is coming off a standout performance in which he threw for 405 yards and six touchdowns while also running for a score, tying a franchise record for a 400‑plus‑yard, six‑TD game without an interception.
Calgary enters the matchup with a 2‑2 record, having won its last two contests and leading the league in offensive points per game (37.8) and touchdowns (19). The team also tops the CFL in rushing yards per game (119) and carries (95). Montreal, at 3‑1, recently defeated the Ottawa Redblacks 37‑35 and boasts strong receiving corps, including Tyson Philpot, who leads the league in targets, catches, and yards. Both sides feature notable defensive stats, with Montreal allowing only three sacks all season while Calgary has recorded eight.
The game will test whether Calgary can extend its offensive surge and secure a second straight Stampede Bowl victory against a competitive Alouettes squad.
