The Calgary Stampeders hope to head into their Canadian Football League bye week as they host the BC Lions in Week 5 action tonight at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
The West Division rivals are both 2-2 heading into their first meeting of the 2012. The Stamps are looking for a sixth consecutive win on home turf after winning their three final McMahon dates in 2011 and their first two games so far this season. Calgary is looking for a measure of revenge today as BC was the last visiting club to pick a win at McMahon thanks to a 32-19 decision on Sept. 17, 2011.
Calgary is coming off a 41-38 comeback overtime victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The defending Grey Cup-champion Leos dropped a home-field decision to the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 4 and are now 2-2 after starting the season 2-0.
