Stamps Fall In Winnipeg
The Stampeders fell 33-22 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Princess Auto Stadium on Saturday evening. The Red and White clawed back after going down as much as 15 points, but Winnipeg held on to close it out. Deonta McMahon headlined the offence, posting a pair of touchdowns in the tilt.
STAT PACK
Vernon Adams Jr. – 29-for-43, 284 yards, 1 TD

Tevin Jones - six receptions, 72 yards

The Stamps got off to a 3-0 lead in the first, thanks to a 19-yard field goal from Rene Paredes. The boot marked the veteran's 650th career field goal, all with the Stampeders.
It didn’t take long before Paredes’ number was called upon again. This time the golden boot nailed a 55-yard field goal to snip the Bombers lead down to 10-6 in the second quarter.
The following defensive drive, rookie DB Ashton Miller-Melancon picked up an interception to get the ball back in the hands of the offence. It was the Quebec native’s second pick in as many weeks.
The Stamps went on to score another field goal in the second quarter before heading into halftime down 17-9.
Fast forward to the third quarter, Stamps down 24-9, Deonta McMahon finished off a six-yard rush for a touchdown.
The tailback wasn’t done yet. A couple drives later Adams connected with McMahon on an eight-yard touchdown to cut the lead down to 24-22 for the Bombers.
The Red and White continued to push for the comeback, but the Bombers defence ultimately held on to close it out.
