On a brisk evening in Calgary, the Stampeders took on the Bombers in their preseason matchup, resulting in a decisive 31-10 victory for the home team. The game showcased the talents and potential of both teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The Stampeders' offense was firing on all cylinders, with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell leading the charge with pinpoint accuracy and strategic play-calling. Running back Ka'Deem Carey also had a standout performance, rushing for over 100 yards and scoring two touchdowns. The Bombers' defense struggled to contain the Stampeders' offensive onslaught, allowing big plays and failing to generate turnovers.
Bombers coaches and management one last look at their roster hopefuls before final cuts, as the team chose to sit all of their starters on offence and defence from last season and fielded a very young group.
Calgary played many of their regulars during Friday’s game.
The Bombers could only muster 121 yards of net offence and just seven first downs with four turnovers. The Stamps led by a wide margin in time of possession by almost 13 minutes, and the Bombers gave up a sack in the end zone for a safety.

Calgary and Winnipeg was the complete opposite of that.
The Blue Bombers dressed an extremely inexperienced roster on Friday, a decision that was made presumably due to the team’s tight turnaround ahead of the regular season. Liam Dobson, Eric Lofton, Miles Fox, Tyrique McGhee, and Tyrell Ford are the only projected starters who played on Friday, plus whoever wins the open receiver spot. Of those mentioned, Lofton is the only one who’s been a full-time starter in the CFL before.
After Wilson was intercepted by Calgary defensive back Tyler Richardson, quarterback Kyle Vantrease was at the helm and the drive ended with Fair’s 18-yarder at 7:00 to make it 24-10.
Bellamy pushed in for a one-yard score at 8:33.
