Stampeders spoil Redblacks' home opener for 1st win of season

Jake Maier threw for 304 yards and scored a rushing touchdown as the Calgary Stampeders spoiled the Ottawa Redblacks' home opener with a 26-15 victory at TD Place on Thursday.

Redblacks fans will have to wait until June 30 to see if Ottawa could earn a home win when they face the Edmonton Elks following a bye week. The Redblacks' last victory on home turf was in Sept. 2021.

Maier went 19-of-28 passing and also threw one interception. Dedrick Mills rushed for another touchdown as part of a 98-yard effort on the ground and Reggie Begelton led the Stampeders with 119 yards on six receptions.
