EDMONTON – Terry Williams ran back a 97-yard punt with just one second left in the first half, helping the Stampeders to a 21-11 lead after 30 minutes of play at the 106^th Grey Cup.

It was the longest return in the history of the CFL championship game.

Don Jackson and Lemar Durant caught TD passes for the Red & White, with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell going 14-of-21 for 182 yards with two majors and two picks.

Calgary won the coin flip and opted to have Ottawa receive to start the game.

After a quick two-and-out on the Redblacks first possession, Mitchell marched the Stamps down the field, thanks in part to a 38-yard catch-and-run by Chris Matthews.

With a second-and-seven at the 22-yard-line, Mitchell went looking for Bakari Grant in the endzone but it was picked off Jonathan Rose, who despite slipping managed to gain his balance and run it out 26 yards but it was brought back to the five-yard line on a roughing penalty after the pick.

The Stamps got on the board first late in the first quarter, with a short drive set up by Ciante Evans, who picked off a Trevor Harris pass at the 37-yard line and ran it back five yards to give the offence excellent field position.

Two plays later, Ottawa came hard on a blitz and Mitchell flipped a short pass over the pack to a wide-open Jackson, who ran 21 yards into the endzone untouched.

As the quarter expired, Lewis Ward missed a 47-yard field-goal wide left, with Williams running it out with a head of steam before losing his footing and going down at the 16-yard line as he was trying to turn the corner up-field with room to romp.

On his next kick, Ward hit a 30-yard field-goal at the 12:50 mark of the second quarter to get Ottawa on the board.

The Stamps got their second major of the game on an eight-play drive that started on their own 35-yard line.

Two great catches – a 21-yard strike to Eric Rogers and a 26-yard grab by Julan Lynch -helped lead the Stamps  down the field, with Mitchell hitting  Durant with a 17-yard pass and the receiver stretching out to break the plane and make it 14-3.

After Mitchell got picked off for the second time in the half with just over five minutes to play, the Redblacks looked in good position to pick up some more points but Jameer Thurman ripped the ball out of the arms of Williams Powell at the 28-yard line and Folarin Orimolade recovered to end the threat.

Not long after, though, Julian Feoli Gudino caught a 25-yard pass from Harris and then broke a few tackles as he ran 30 yards for an Ottawa TD.

Harris then hit Jean-Christophe Beaulieu for the two-point convert to close the gap to three points.

Williams kick return rounded out the scoring in the half.
