2 – KIAN SCHAFFER-BAKER TOUCHDOWNS
For the second straight week a Trevor Harris receiver pulled in multiple touchdown receptions. Schaffer-Baker once again led the Riders and the game in receiving, piling up 130 yards on eight receptions with two touchdown grabs. The Riders wideout was less than a yard away from tying his teammate Samuel Emilus‘ three touchdown game in Week 2 after he was brought down just short of the end zone in double overtime before Tommy Stevens punched home the game-winning score.
7/30 – DEDRICK MILLS STAT LINE GOING INTO THE FOURTH
The star running back for the Stampeders was stymied early on in this one by the Riders front seven. Mills only rushed seven times in the first three quarters for 30 yards. The 29-year-old turned it on late piling on 73 yards on eight carries in the fourth quarter and two overtime drives. He would also add two catches for 11 yards to finish with 114 yards from scrimmage in the game.
756 – PUNT YARDAGE
Mark Vassett and Oscar Chapman were busy at McMahon Stadium Saturday afternoon. The wind in Calgary played a massive part in the flow of the game with 14 total punts, including five straight drives in the first quarter where the punters were called upon. The Stamps and Vassett had eight punts, while the Riders and Chapman had six. Both defences were effective in keeping the offences at bay.
