The Calgary Stampeders scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to overtake the visiting Edmonton Elks 35-31 on Monday.
Trailing by 15 points after three quarters, Stampeder quarterback Jake Maier scored a rushing touchdown and threw a touchdown pass to Reggie Begelton in the end zone. Dedrick Mills scored the winning touchdown with 20 seconds remaining in the game on a four-yard carry.
Dean Faithfull kicked field goals from 20, 39 and a season-high 46 yards, and Jake Julien added a punt single for the Elks. An Edmonton two-and-out gave Calgary the ball back with two-and-a-half minutes to go when chants of"Go Stamps Go" erupted at McMahon. The Elks led 21-10 early in the second half on Faithfull's 39-yarder before the Stampeders hurt themselves with untimely penalties.
