Battle of Alberta Showdown

Edmonton and Calgary Face Off in High-Stakes Labour Day Clash

The importance of ball security in the upcoming Labour Day game between the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders is high ahead of Monday's Battle of Alberta. Edmonton (8-3) leads the CFL this season in forced turnovers, with 33, including 17 interceptions, and scoring 103 points. The Stampeder team's turnover ratio topped the league ahead of Edmonton's at plus-11, but Fajardo also highlighted the team's 19 fumbles. The game pits Calgary's league-leading 36.9 average points per game against Edmonton's defence, which has allowed a league-low average of 25.4 per game. The Elks are aiming for their third consecutive win after victories over the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
