What It Means
Hamilton entered the day with East-leading ambitions, but the margins have favored Calgary—cleaner special teams, steadier early-down defense, and the more ruthless red-zone side. For a late twist, the Ticats need a lightning-quick score, a takeaway, and one more short field. Calgary’s path is straightforward now: bleed the clock, stay ahead of the chains, and keep everything in front on defense. If they continue to trade time for yards, the Stamps are poised to close out a statement road win.
