Vernon Adams Jr. threw four touchdowns and didn't turn it over once, and that was the difference in a track meet at Mosaic Stadium.
The Calgary Stampeders out-scored the Saskatchewan Roughriders 37-31 despite getting outgained by 157 yards, moving to 8-8 on the year. Saskatchewan falls to 8-7 and drops a game it probably should have won on paper — Trevor Harris threw for 453 yards, but the interception and a stalled second quarter ended up costing them.

Quick Hits
Adams Jr. threw four touchdowns on just 29 attempts and never gave the ball away — that's a clean, efficient day against a Roughriders defense that let Calgary hang 14 in the first quarter.
Harris put up 453 yards and four scores but needed 50 attempts to get there, and his one interception loomed large in a game decided by six points.
Philpot's eight catches for 72 yards and a score make him the clear volume play out of Calgary's receiving corps, while Schaffer-Baker's 120-yard, nine-catch day was the best individual performance on the field — just not enough to overcome the final score.
