7 Things | Stamps @ Argos | 06.08.26

1. Us

The Stamps are looking to grab their first three-game win-streak of the season when they head down to Toronto to take on the Argonauts on Thursday evening. It’ll be their second game in five days in Ontario.

The Red and White took down the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 44-20 in Week 9. The defence played their best game of the season, giving up their fewest points in a game this year to go along with four sacks, a pick six, two forced fumbles and returning one for a touchdown in the win.

Kickoff for the cross division tilt is set for 5:30 p.m. MT.

Fans can catch all the action on TSN, RDS, CFL+  or listen on QR Calgary.

2. Them

Toronto is coming off a Week 9 bye, but took down the BC Lions 26-12 in Week 8.

3. Head to Head

This is the second and final meeting of the 2026 regular season between the clubs. In Week 5 the two met at McMahon Stadium where the Red and White had their highest offensive output of the season, posting 58 points for the win.

4. Who’s Where

5. Fast Facts

With a triumph over the Argos on Thursday, the Stampeders would move above .500 for the first time this year. Calgary has only had one season (2023) in their last 21 campaigns where they have not had more victory than defeats at some point within their schedule

Thank you to Max Campbell, our Manager of Communications for handing off this fast fact!

6. Players to Watch

Stamps: REC Dejon Brissett: The veteran receiver had his second career 100-yard game and his first in Red and White last week in Hamilton. Brissett has put up five touchdowns on the year and is just one touchdown shy of setting a new career-high in his sixth CFL season.

Argos: REC Makai Polk: The third year receiver is en route to a career-year and is coming off of a two touchdown performance against BC in Week 8.

7. Quotable

“I expect it to be a battle. They’re going to bring their best game and we have to be our best as well.” – QB Vernon Adams Jr. on Thursday night’s rematch with the Argos.
