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 slipped past the rush 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 put Calgary back on the win column. Calgary moved to 1‑2, while BC slipped to 0‑three. The Lions lost again, marking their third straight setback.
