HAMILTON — The Calgary Stampeders handled business on the road on Saturday afternoon, taking down the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 44-20 at Hamilton Stadium to make it back-to-back wins. The visitors went into halftime up by 15 and shut down a potential comeback effort in the third quarter to improve to 3-1 on their travels this season.
The Stamps scored five touchdowns to the Ticats’ one, with two of Calgary’s scores coming from their defence. Vernon Adams Jr. and Dejon Brissett connected for the game’s first major in an impressive outing from both players. Calgary’s starter finished 18-25 for 252 yards with one touchdown pass while his leading receiver on the day had six catches for 109 yards and the touchdown.
Rounding off a sustained possession in the second quarter was running back Tyreik McAllister who slalomed into the end zone for his team’s second touchdown of the day to make it 17-6 in the second quarter.
It was just the start to the second half that the hosts would’ve wanted as Calgary’s George Idoko fumbled the kickoff and Destin Talbert recovered. Frost recorded his first touchdown pass of the year as he worked it to Kenny Lawler in the end zone for a 24-yard score.
The Tiger-Cats then made it a five-point game late in the third but that was as close as they managed to get in the second half. From there the hosts could only manage a rouge while Calgary shut up shop with a 20-point fourth quarter. Vaughn got into the end zone from four yards out to finish off an eight-play drive and shortly after Derrick Moncreif iced it with a 25-yard pick six.
Frost finished 9-20 with 165 yards, a touchdown, and interception. Kiondre Smith led Hamilton’s receiving room with a five-catch, 66-yard performance.
