Big game from Burris leads Stampeders past Alouettes

Fri 1st, October 2010

Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Henry Burris threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Calgary Stampeders in a 46-21 rout of defending champion Montreal in a potential Grey Cup Final preview.

Burris completed 18-of-27 passes and had 56 rushing yards for the Stampeders (10-3), who snapped a brief two-game losing streak and retook the league's best record with their eighth win in 10 weeks. Ken-Yon Rambo caught six passes for 169 yards and a score, while Romby Bryant gained 146 yards on five receptions and scored twice.

Anthony Calvillo passed for 227 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-33 throws for the Alouettes (9-4), who saw their three-game win streak end. The signal- caller was also picked off once.

Jamel Richardson garnered 124 receiving yards and a score on five catches in defeat.

Coming into the game with identical 9-3 records, Montreal and Calgary are the only CFL clubs to clinch a playoff berth thus far in 2010. The Als and Stampeders own the league's top two point-producing offenses, and it showed in the high-scoring affair.

The Stamps jumped out to a big lead and never looked back.

Just 2 1/2 minutes into the game, Burris hit Bryant on a 61-yard touchdown pass, and with 8:42 remaining in the opening period, Burris found Rambo for a 100-yard scoring play and 14-0 lead.

Montreal answered on Calvillo's 15-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Hawkins, but Rob Maver responded with a 29-yard field goal for Calgary on the first play of the second quarter for a 17-7 game.

Drew Tate's one-yard touchdown run midway through the second gave Calgary a 17-point lead, but Calvillo's second touchdown toss -- a seven-yard throw to S.J. Green -- had Montreal within 10 again with two minutes left.

With seconds remaining in the opening half, Maver hit a 31-yard field goal for a 27-14 halftime lead.

The teams traded touchdowns to start the third quarter, as Nik Lewis caught a 36-yard touchdown pass from Burris and Richardson was the recipient of a 16- yard scoring throw from Calvillo.

Montreal would get no closer, however, as a safety and 23-yard field goal from Maver gave Calgary a 39-21 lead early in the fourth. Bryant's second TD catch of the contest with 9 1/2 minutes left sealed the outcome.

Game Notes

The all-time series between the clubs is tied, 30-30-1...Calvillo has 25 touchdowns and five interceptions this season, while Burris has a league- leading 28 touchdowns and 16 interceptions...Montreal had won the last two meetings...Als wide receiver Ben Cahoon caught three passes for 22 yards and needs just four receptions to pass Terry Vaughn for the all-time lead in receptions in CFL history...These teams face off next week on October 11 in Montreal.
