Turnovers Decide Labour Day Rivalry | Calgary News

Edmonton’s Elks are dominating the turnover battle, turning 33 takeaways into over 100 points and powering their way to an 8-3 record—potentially securing their first playoff home game in a decade. Meanwhile, Calgary’s Stampeders, though forcing fewer turnovers, still score 83 points off opponent mistakes as coach Dave Dickenson insists winning the turnover stat is vital—even if it hasn’t always translated to wins. Coming off a bye, the Elks seek to extend their two-game win streak against a hungry Stampeders squad fighting to climb out of the division basement. Calgary’s high-powered offense averages nearly 37 points per game, but faces Edmonton’s stingy defense, which allows the fewest points in the league. Veteran QBs Cody Fajardo and Vernon Adams Jr. clash in a rivalry that always carries weight. With both teams playing for critical stakes, expect a gritty, turnover-driven showdown where ball control could decide it all.
