Overview

The Calgary Stampeders (4-10-1) host the Edmonton Elks (5-11) in a pivotal Week 19 matchup with no playoff implications for both teams. Calgary is looking to snap a nine-game losing streak, while Edmonton aims to complete a season sweep of their provincial rivals for the first time since 2004.

Keys to the Game

1. Calgary’s quarterback play: Matthew Shiltz needs to step up in his first start and provide a spark for the struggling offense.

2. Stop Edmonton’s run game: The Stampeders’ defense must contain the Elks’ potent ground attack led by Leake and Justin Rankin.

3. Pressure Tre Ford: Calgary’s pass rush needs to disrupt Ford’s rhythm and force him into mistakes.

4. Win the turnover battle: Both teams have struggled with giveaways this season. Protecting the ball will be crucial.
