The Calgary Stampeders continued their impressive comeback season Monday with a 28-7 victory over the Edmonton Elks in the Labour Day Classic.

Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. threw a touchdown pass to Dominque Rhymes. Tailback Dedrick Mills quietly rushed for 106 yards on 17 carries. The diminutive Erik Brooks scored the first return touchdown of his CFL career.

And on defence, the Stampeders piled up four sacks and kept their northern rivals out of the end zone all afternoon.

“This defence is tough to kill — we don’t give up many touchdowns,” said Calgary defensive end Folarin Orimolade. “If we continue to do that — and continue to go penalty-free — we’ll go far.”

The Elks had their three-game winning streak halted and they remain in the West Division basement with a record of 4-7.
