The Stamps are riding a nine-game winning streak and are unbeaten in 11 since a season-opening loss at BC. The Blue Bombers have recovered from a 1-4 start that included two losses to Calgary and have since won seven in a row.

It’s the first time in Canadian professional football history that a regular-season game features both teams on winning streaks of at least seven games.

If you’re looking for reasons for the teams’ success, the Stamps and Bombers rank 1-2 in the CFL when it comes to points allowed and turnovers committed.

Calgary is a league-best 6-0 at home so far in 2016 while the Bombers are tied with BC for the CFL’s best road mark at 5-1.
