Elks Rally from 18 Down to Top West | Calgary News

Edmonton Elks pulled off a jaw-dropping Labour Day comeback, erasing an 18-point deficit to stun the Calgary Stampeders 38-28. Justin Rankin delivered the game-winner with a 50-yard touchdown run with just four minutes left, sparking a 24-point rally in the final ten minutes. The win keeps Edmonton atop the West Division and marks their third straight victory, fueled by belief that no score is too big to overcome. Rain may have poured down, but it also seemed to ignite their offense — Rankin joked their best football comes when conditions get tough. A stifling defense and special teams sealed the deal, forcing Calgary into desperation territory. The Stampeders, who led 25-7, now face self-reflection after costly mistakes derailed their momentum. These rivals meet again this Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
