Toronto presents a highly productive offense under new head coach Mike Miller, following the return of quarterback Chad Kelly.

The Argonauts currently lead the league in points per game and rank second overall in total yards. Kelly has thrown nine touchdown passes alongside six interceptions this season.

Conversely, the Calgary Stampeders offense averages over 35 points per game, supported by running back Dedrick Mills, who has surpassed 100 total yards each game.

Calgary relies on a defensive front consisting of Folarin Orimolade, Jaylon Hutchings, Miles Brown, and Clarence Hicks.

The unit tied for the league lead with seven sacks, exposing a Toronto line missing the injured Dakoda Shepley.

Stampeders receiver Erik Brooks leads his team in catches and yards as a short-yardage target for Vernon Adams Jr. Brooks faces an Argonauts defensive unit that restricts rushing yards but allows substantial passing yardage.

Other Key Matchups

In other action, the Saskatchewan Roughriders travel to face the Ottawa Redblacks following a recent home defeat against Toronto.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats also look to secure a season sweep against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this Sunday.

Hamilton quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell maintains an 84 percent completion rate with eight touchdowns over three games.
