B.C. also sports a defence that’s tops against the pass and run and is allowing a league-low 279.3 net offensive yards per game. The Lions are also second in fewest offensive points surrendered .Calgary is coming off a 17-3 win over Ottawa that was anchored by its defence. Defensive back Titus Wall had two interceptions, returning one 46 yards for the TD, to help the Stamps earn their first win in three games.
Veteran starter Bo Levi Mitchell finished 13-of-27 passing for 137 yards with one interception. Mitchell, twice the CFL’s outstanding player and a two-time Grey Cup champion, needs just six yards to surpass Henry Burris as the franchise’s all-time passing leader.

Mills got the start ahead of injured incumbent Ka’Deem Carey, the league’s second-ranked rusher with 471 yards .Calgary was also minus head coach Dave Dickenson . Special teams co-ordinator Mark Kilam handled head-coaching duties against Ottawa but Dickenson will return to face B.C.
