After a strong start in July, the Stampeders entered Week 9 with the league’s highest‑scoring offense (39.7 pts/game) and a defense ranked second for fewest points allowed. In the 44‑20 victory over Hamilton at Tim Hortons Field, quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. set a CFL record with his 21st touchdown pass, his 20th before any interception, completing 18 of 25 for 252 yards and adding a rushing score. He linked with Dejon Brissett for a 43‑yard TD, while Quincy Vaughn contributed a four‑yard rushing TD after a 78‑yard drive. Running back Dedrick Mills continued to lead the league in rushing (584 yds) and Tyreik McAllister added his historic multi‑way touchdown earlier in the season. A defensive pick‑six by Derrick Moncrief capped Calgary’s dominance. The win moved Calgary to a 4‑4 record, tying them for third place in the West Division, and the game was broadcast on TSN, CTV and CFL+. The victory marked the team’s second straight win. The Stampeders then traveled to Toronto for Week 10, seeking their first three‑game winning streak. After securing that streak, Calgary arrived at BMO Field on August 5 riding a three‑game run, still led by Adams, who tops the league in passer rating and touchdown passes, and by Mills, the CFL’s second‑ranked rusher. Toronto, now 3‑4, opened its home schedule with Chad Kelly making his first start at the venue in over a year and linebacker Cameron Judge returning from a hamstring injury. Calgary will look to extend its offensive momentum against an Argonauts team that leads the league in passing yards, while both sides remain broadcast on the same national networks. In the ensuing matchup, the Argonauts edged Calgary 33‑30. Chad Kelly threw for 349 yards and a touchdown, while Adams recorded his first two interceptions of the season, ending his no‑interception streak.
