Edm MLB Willie Pless and the surging Eskimos pulled the shocker of the year and stunned the heavily favored Calgary Stumps.
Edm started off playing good D as Calgary drove into the redzone but Edm forced a fumble. Edm threw a deep TD for a 7-0 lead, and Calgary answered with another drive, but was held to a FG to make it 7-3 after the 1st.
Edm then would take leads of 14-3 and 21-10, continuing to hit big downfield passes, but Calgary closed to within 21-17 at half and got the ball to start the 3rd.
After trading punts, MLB Pless made the play of the game. Flutie dropped back in shotgun and tried to drill it to his left slot WR. Pless read it and made a running INT cutting into the pass and Edm had it! Edm scored and lead 28-17 as Calgary drove again, but on 3rd and 3 at the 30, they kicked a FG instead of going for it. 28-20 end 3rd.
In the 4th, Calgary desperatly tried to stop the Eskimos offense but everything they tried failed and Kerwin Bell was on fire. He led 2 more TD drives and Edm won it 42-34.
EDM 2-0
stumps 0-2 (last place)
