The Stamps had a powerful begin as Stevens ran for a 69-yard landing at 1:38 of the primary quarter. Paredes missed the convert, so Calgary needed to accept an early 6-0 lead.
Harris then led the Riders on an eight-play, 63-yard drive that Patterson accomplished by scrambling throughout the purpose line for a one-yard landing.
Following a 33-yard discipline purpose by Lauther at 10:15, Paredes answered with a 41-yarder with simply 33 seconds left within the first quarter.
