The Calgary Stampeders will look to extend their winning streak to three games when they visit the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday night at Molson Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.
Stampeders Riding Momentum
Calgary (2-1) is coming off a 27-24 home win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on July 1. Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns in that victory. The Stampeders opened the season with a loss to the B.C. Lions but have since rebounded with back-to-back wins.
Adams Jr. has completed 68.5% of his passes for 872 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions through three games. Running back Ka'Deem Carey leads the ground attack with 198 rushing yards and two scores.
Alouettes Seeking Turnaround
Montreal (1-2) is coming off a 30-20 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on July 4. The Alouettes have struggled offensively, ranking seventh in the CFL in points per game (22.3). Quarterback Cody Fajardo has thrown for 654 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions this season.
According to head coach Jason Maas, the team needs to improve its execution on both sides of the ball. "We have to be more consistent," Maas said. "Calgary is a tough opponent, but we're confident we can bounce back at home."
Key Matchups to Watch
The Stampeders defense ranks third in the league, allowing just 24.3 points per game. Defensive end James Vaughters has recorded three sacks, while linebacker Micah Awe leads the team with 22 tackles. They will face an Alouettes offensive line that has allowed eight sacks so far.
Montreal's secondary, anchored by cornerback Wesley Sutton, will be tested by Calgary's receiving corps, which includes Reggie Begelton (18 catches, 236 yards) and Luther Hakunavanhu (12 catches, 189 yards).
