Calgary Stampeders crush Ottawa Redblacks

Calgary Stampeders Don Jackson (25) tries to make his way past Ottawa Redblacks Josh Johnson (2) during first half CFL action in Ottawa on Thursday, July 12, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang.

He only played half the game, but it was enough for Bo Levi Mitchell to pick up his 60th career CFL win as his Calgary Stampeders beat the Ottawa Redblacks 27-3.

Mitchell left the game late in the second quarter with what appeared to be a right knee injury after taking a hit from Danny Mason. But there was a good sign as he was visible on the sidelines in the second half still in uniform. He was 16 for 21 for 166 yards and one touchdown when he left for the locker room.
