The Calgary Stampeders won’t take the Winnipeg Blue Bombers lightly when the two teams play at McMahon Stadium on Saturday night.
The Blue Bombers are looking to end their struggles by posting their seventh straight win over Calgary . The Stampeders’ last win over Winnipeg was back in November 2021. Maier will make his 30th consecutive start at quarterback for Calgary, which is the longest by any Stampeder since Henry Burris’s streak of 69 games in a row ended in 2011. Included in his all-time record of 14-18 is five losses to Winnipeg, the only CFL club he has never beaten.
Regardless of the records and previous results from matchups between the two West Division rivals, Calgary coach Dave Dickenson said he believes he has his players ready for a tough battle against Winnipeg, which has appeared in four straight CFL championship finals, winning the Grey Cup in 2019 and 202
One player who has had Saturday’s game circled on his calendar is defensive back Demerio Houston, who signed a two-year contract with the Stamps in February.
