More Canadian Crunch

The Stampeders travelled to the nation’s capital to start Week 9 of the CFL. The Redblacks started Q2 with a TD to go 3-7 ahead. A pick stopped the Stamps and produced a FG. The RBs scored another TD and another pick with a minute left in the half stopped the Stamps, 3-17 at half time.
    A pick by the Stamps in the first minute of Q3 went to a missed FG for a single. A pick-6 by McGee put the RBs 20 points ahead. The Stamps managed a TD.
    A FG miss by the RBs then the sent the Stamps out on downs and charged for a TD from the 1 yard line. 11-31 final. Just the second win of the year for the home team.
    The Argos went west to Winnipeg on Friday. The Blue Bombers stopped the Argos but next thing you know, a pick-6 for the visitors! So the BB returned the kick off for a TD! And they closed Q1 with another, 7-14.
    10-17 after an exchange of field goals late in Q2, then a QB mugging, a fumble and a defensive TD for the Bombers. 10-24. Then a punt returned for a TD, 10-31! Less than a minute left, 13-31 at half time.
    The Argos started Q3 with a TD. A rain of flags in the end zone, just a FG for the Argos, 23-31. One for the BB. A punt gave the Argos a single at the start of Q4, 24-34. FG then TD the other way, 31-37.
    The Argos recovered the kick off only to be picked off. An end zone pick stopped the BB in the 12th minute. But the Bombers were not to be denied, 31-40 final.
