I was wondering the same thing. I assumed you had to have a time out remaining in order to challenge.
From the CFL rule book
Quote:
Article 6 – Instant Replay Review
An Instant Replay Review request, challenging the ruling on the field, may only be initiated by the Head Coach, who will throw a challenge flag onto the field, prior to the legal snap of the ball.
Each team will have the ability to execute two (2) challenges per game, if a team is successful on both, they will gain the opportunity to execute a third challenge.
The first challenge will have no impact on team time outs, regardless of the outcome of the challenge.
A second challenge, if unsuccessful, will result in the loss of a team time out, either first or second half.
In order to execute a second challenge, a team must have a team time out remaining.
In order to execute a third challenge, a team must have been successful on both their first two (2) challenges and must have a team time out remaining.
A third challenge, if unsuccessful, will result in the loss of a team time out, either first or second half.

Did Edmonton not have a challenge earlier in the game? If so, by taking the time out, he would not have had a team time out remaining and thus not been able to execute the second challenge. I must be missing something, because there's no way the CFL would miss something like that. Or is there?
