A nothing game perhaps? Not so according to Stampeder's players. They want to prove that they are capable of beating the BC Lions. Both teams already locked in the home playoff game. BC Lions locked in #1 in the West while Calgary locked in #2.

OFFENSE:

RB Jon Cornish won his 7th Canadian Player of Week award. Cornish won the award not because of his rushing abilities but it was because he caught 6 passes for 100 yards and scoring a TD. This is Cornish's first career 100 yards receiving. He still leads the CFL in rushing yardage with 1,302 yards in the season only 135 yards behind Normie Kwong's record by a Canadian RB. Cornish doesn't really have much success against the Lions though only rushing for 60 yards against them in 2 games.

R Nik Lewis caught 7 passes for 65 yards. Lewis raised his season totals to 95 catches (leads the CFL in that department) for 1,160 yards.

R Maurice Price caught his first TD passes as a Stampeder, a 56 yard pass from QB Kevin Glenn. In the last two games, he caught 105 yards.

QB Drew Tate is healthy again. It looks like Coach Hufnagel will give him the starting QB position for the game. Hufnagel will also give Glenn some time to play in the game.

DEFENSE:

Stampeders defense played well against Hamilton TigerCats. They registered a season-high 6 QB sacks against Henry Burris.

LB/DB Keon Raymond won the Defensive Player of the Week. He had a monster game vs Hamilton with a team-high 8 tackles, 2 QB sacks and a 100-yard INT return for a TD. Raymond holds the club record with a 117-yard return for a TD in 2011.

LB Juwan Simpson had 8 tackles and now has 78 tackles in the season. He is 6th best in the CFL.

DE Charleston Hughes had 7 tackles and 2 QB sacks against the TiCats. That brings his season tally to 10 QB sacks, 2nd in the league behind BC Keron Williams with 11.

DB Derrius Brooks had another INT last week. He now have INT in a back-to-back games. He joins Keon Raymond as the only 2 Stamps DB to pick off passes in 2nd consecutive games this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS:

KR Jason Armstead had a combined 251 yards on returns including an 84 yard kickoff return in the 1st quarter. He's been a good replacement for Larry Taylor. The question now will be, what will happen to Armstead when Taylor comes back from the injury?

This is the first game that K Rene Paredes had no field goal attempts this season.

Special team coverage teams did not give Chris Williams a lot of room again last week.
