Paredes’ 62-Yard Field Goal Lifts Stampeders to 40-38 Win over Redblacks
Rene Paredes added four field goals and 4 converts as Calgary improved to 6-8 and kept its playoff hopes alive.
Rene Paredes kicked a career-long 62-yard field goal with two seconds remaining, giving the Calgary Stampeders a 40-38 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday.
An announced crowd of 20,113 watched at McMahon Stadium as both teams traded scores throughout, creating a back-and-forth contest that came down to the final seconds.
Calgary quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 357 yards and two touchdowns, while Ottawa quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson recorded 379 passing yards and five touchdowns in the loss.
The Redblacks fell to 0-13 on the season, becoming only the second team in CFL history to start a campaign with 13 consecutive losses.
With a 6-8 record, the Stampeders maintain their West Division playoff hopes ahead of their rematch with Ottawa next Saturday in the second game of a home-and-home series.
