After losing back to back Grey Cups to the Ottawa Redblacks and the Toronto Argonauts, the Calgary Stampeders grabbed the brass ring tonight defeating the Redblacks 27-16 to win the 106th Grey Cup in Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium.
The Stampeders lost to the Argos in heartbreaking fashion last year after blowing a 24-16 lead on a fumble late in the fourth quarter. There would be no heartbreak this year as they led the Redblacks from start to finish.
It is the Stampeders eighth Grey Cup title and first championship since 2014 when they defeated the Hamilton Tiger Cats. The Stampeders are arguably the best team in the CFL over the past decade having appeared in four of the last five Grey Cup finals and five of the last seven.
