5. Fast Facts

With just one more touchdown pass before an interception, Stamps quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. would become the first player in CFL history to begin a season with 18 TDs and zero picks. The current mark of 17 majors without an INT to start a season was accomplished by Ricky Ray of the Toronto Argonauts in 2013. Adams currently leads the league in touchdown tosses and has thrown 15 in just his past four outings alone
