Quick Hits
Tre Ford threw for 212 yards and two scores without an interception, but his defense couldn't hold up when Calgary needed answers in the fourth.
Mills ran through Hamilton's front for 118 yards on just 14 carries, the difference-maker in a game where Calgary outgained Hamilton 389-328.
Fantasy players should note Ford's rushing floor — 80 yards on the ground gives him real dual-threat value even in a loss.
