Mill, Adams Jr. score 4th-quarter TDs to lead Stampeders past Argos 29-19
Vernon Adams Jr. and Dedrick Mills scored fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead the unbeaten Calgary Stampeders past the winless Toronto Argonauts 29-19 on a breezy Saturday afternoon. 'The defence really held us in to the first half,' Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson said after the win. 'It was a rough half for the offence, but the defence made the play, scored, and then (we) rallied in the second half; I thought the offence got back in gear. And I thought our special teams again, even though Rene (Paredes) missed a couple of kicks — tough in the wind — it was great coverage and guys just took turns. Different guys from last week too, which I think is important, because if you're going to be a good team everybody's got to take advantage of their opportunity when they get it.' Adams Jr.'s eight-yard scamper at 7:43 put Calgary ahead 26-11. It came after Lirim Hajrullahu's 47-yard field goal at 5:08 cut Toronto's deficit to 19-11. Story continues below advertisement Mills put Calgary ahead 19-8 with a one-yard scoring run at 1:19. Both Adams Jr. and Mills capped 70-yard scoring drives. 'Wanna' be better on offence for sure, earlier in the game, but a win's a win, so we're going to watch it and learn from it,' Adams Jr. said.

Paredes also missed from 47 yards out early in the quarter before connecting from 46 yards out at 5:09 to put Calgary ahead 3-1.
