Calgary quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. put together a spectacular performance, throwing for 405 yards and six touchdowns while adding another rushing touchdown. The Stampeders’ offense overwhelmed Toronto’s defense throughout the game, building a lead that the Argonauts could never overcome.
Despite the loss, Toronto’s offense showed flashes.
