Stampeders 27, Lions 18: Bo Levi Mitchell threw for a season-high 370 yards and one touchdown as Calgary rolled over visiting BC to remain unbeaten.

Mitchell completed 19-of-31 passes and Kamar Jorden caught five of them for 185 yards and a score for the Stampeders, who are 7-0 for the first time since 1995. Short-yardage quarterback Nick Arbuckle added a pair of rushing touchdowns while Lemar Durant recorded five receptions for 53 yards as Calgary beat the Lions for the seventh straight time at home.

Travis Lulay was 25-of-39 for 281 yards and a touchdown for BC (2-4), which is winless in four road games this season and has dropped nine of its last 10 to the Stampeders - counting playoffs. Jeremiah Johnson rushed for 50 yards and a TD while Bryan Burnham made seven catches for 76 yards and a score for the Lions.

Ty Long ended the first drive of the game with a 40-yard field goal to put BC in front before Mitchell hit Jorden in stride for a 53-yard scoring strike, putting the Stampeders in front after 15 minutes. Rene Paredes connected on a 44-yard kick to extend the lead and Arbuckle snuck in from 1 yard out with 27 seconds left in the first half, giving Calgary a 17-3 advantage.

Johnson, who missed the last game with an ankle injury, ran five yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to close the gap to 18-10 before Arbuckle scored from a yard out early in the fourth after the Stampeders survived a fumble. A safety pushed the lead to 17 points before Lulay connected with Burnham for an 8-yard score, but Calgary held the Lions on downs on the next possession and ran out the clock.
