With Week 19 action continuing, the CFL standings remain fluid in both divisions. Hamilton sits at 10-7, still leading the East Division but waiting on Monday’s Montreal-Ottawa result to see if they can secure the division title. In the West, Saskatchewan leads at 12-4, followed by BC and Calgary both at 9-7. Calgary’s win keeps them in the playoff hunt with improved divisional positioning thanks to their 6-3 conference record.
The Stampeders will look to build on this momentum when they face the Toronto Argonauts on Friday, October 17. Hamilton enters their Week 20 bye before returning to action against the Ottawa REDBLACKS on Friday, October 24. Mitchell’s milestone of surpassing Matt Dunigan for eighth place on the CFL’s all-time passing list provided a personal bright spot despite the team loss, as he now sits at over 5,000 yards for the season.
