A pair of touchdowns from Kamar Jorden helped the Calgary Stampeders make their way to a 29-10 victory over the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg on Friday night.

Sixteen of Calgary’s points were scored off of Winnipeg turnovers, including a pick-six from linebacker Maleki Harris.

The Bombers haven’t defeated the Stampeders at home since July 10, 2009.

Calgary has won 17 of its last 18 games against Winnipeg, including the last seven in a row since 2015.

Jorden had a one-yard run early in the second quarter, marking his first touchdown of the game. His second came off a 21-yard pass from Bo Levi Mitchell.

Mitchell had a rough start. At the half, he was 7 for 15 on passing and had already thrown two interceptions. Overall, the Stamps’ quarterback threw for 332 yards and completed 22 of 34 passes.
