Overview

  • Week 13 features Winnipeg at Saskatchewan on Sunday, followed by Toronto at Hamilton and Edmonton at Calgary on Monday.
  • Saskatchewan enters 8-2 with a top-tier defence across points, yards, rushing allowed, big plays, sacks and interceptions, facing a Winnipeg team that leads the league in rushing.
  • Winnipeg listed Jerreth Sterns on the one-game injured list, limited Nic Demski in practice, signed Kyran Moore, and could see Dalton Schoen return from the six-game list.
  • Calgary is 7-3 with a defence allowing the fewest offensive points and explosive plays, undefeated within the West, and has won 10 of the last 12 Labour Day games against Edmonton.
  • Edmonton arrives on a three-game run under Cody Fajardo, while Hamilton comes off a bye at 6-4 as Toronto rides a 52-34 win with Nick Arbuckle now leading the CFL in passing.
