Still unbeaten since an opening-week loss, the Calgary Stampeders will look to keep the good times rolling Sunday night when they host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Not much has gone wrong for the Stamps since they conceded defeat to the BC Lions in Week 1. Bo Levi Mitchell sits second in the CFL in passing, while Jerome Messam is second in rushing. The pair of backfield stars have led Calgary to the third-highest scoring offence in the CFL, averaging 31 points per game.
As good as the offence has been, Dave Dickenson's defence has been even better, with the unit ranked first in points allowed. All of that has helped Calgary assemble a five-game winning streak (they played to a tie against Ottawa in Week 3), and the Stamps are a perfect 3-0 at McMahon Stadium this year.
The Tiger-Cats enter Calgary feeling not too shabby themselves. Hamilton is fresh off blowing the daylights out of Saskatchewan, a contest that ended with a 53-7 final score.
Zach Collaros has played well thus far in his return from an ACL injury, completing better than 67 percent of his passes for 712 yards and seven touchdowns through two games.
What could separate these two clubs is their running games. While the Stamps have had no problem establishing Messam, Hamilton sits dead last in the league in rushing yards. Hamilton's C.J. Gable has amassed nearly 200 fewer yards than Messam to this point in the season.
While a win for the Stampeders would extend their lead in the West, a road triumph for the Ticats would propel them past Ottawa and into first place in the East.
