A former Alouettes quarterback is having a blast

The game between the Calgary Stampeders and the Toronto Argonauts turned into a true offensive showcase on Thursday night, as Calgary won convincingly by a score of 58–36.

At the heart of this resounding victory, quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. delivered a memorable performance that will long be remembered in CFL history.

The former Montreal Alouettes player was simply unstoppable, throwing six touchdown passes and scoring a rushing touchdown himself. With 20 completions on 25 attempts and 405 passing yards, Adams Jr. led the Stampeders' offense with remarkable efficiency, while remaining interception-free through four games this season.

This performance allows him to tie a franchise record for the most touchdown passes in a single game, a mark previously held by several legends of the organization, including Peter Liske, Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia, and Dave Dickenson.

On the receiving end, several players capitalized on this offensive outburst. Jalen Philpot and Dejon Brissett each scored two touchdowns, while Tevin Jones and Clark Barnes added one each. Quincy Jones also contributed on the ground with a touchdown for Calgary, which now holds a 2-2 record.

On defense, the Stampeders also made a difference thanks to Zy Alexander, who threw two interceptions against Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly, both of which were converted into points.

A tough night for Toronto despite Chad Kelly's efforts

Chad Kelly still completed 22 of his 33 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns, but his two interceptions weighed heavily on the outcome. He was replaced late in the game by Nick Arbuckle, who added a 17-yard touchdown pass to Damonte Coxie.

With 58 points scored, Calgary posted its best offensive performance since 2022. The Stampeders will now prepare to face the Montreal Alouettes, while the Argonauts will look to bounce back against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
