The Calgary Stampeders finally broke their slump Sunday, beating the BC Lions 41-33 at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. It was the Stampeders’ season opener. Davis Alexander shined under pressure and launched a deep touchdown pass, sparking the comeback. The Lions had been hoping to finish the year winless, but the Stampeders rallied in the fourth. The high-scoring finale erased the Lions’ brief celebration and left them winless. Calgary moved to 1‑2, while BC slipped to 0‑three. The Lions lost again, marking their third straight setback.
