‘The Edmonton Elks rolled to their fifth win in the last six games as they blew out the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night.

Super Saturday closed out how many thought it would end as the Edmonton Elks picked up a 37-16 win over the Calgary Stampeders.

The Elks’ offense showcased the most balanced attack of the season with 219 passing yards and 213 rushing yards. No Elks player who had at least one rushing attempt averaged less than four yards a carry. While the offense was great, the defense was even better with five interceptions and two turnovers on downs forced in the win.

Calgary’s first-time starting quarterback, Logan Bonner, went through rough patches throughout the game as he threw five interceptions. The turnovers played a critical role in the team losing, but they also only converted 42.9% on second down.

Edmonton has now won five of its last six games as the Elks have a 5-8 record and are not in last place in the West Division for the first time this season. The Stampeders’ losing streak grows to four games as they have a 4-8 record and are still winless on the road this season.

3 Takeaways from Edmonton’s Convincing Victory

There will be plenty of chatter surrounding the quarterback position as both Tre Ford and McLeod Bethel-Thompson have made convincing arguments to start. Anchored by Kevin Brown, Javon Leake and Justin Rankin, Edmonton’s run game is what the Martin Scorsese meme would call “absolute cinema.” Brown led the way on Saturday with 91 yards rushing, with Leake behind him at 55 yards and Rankin with 34 yards, including a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Each running back averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry as the group continues to get better and better each week.
