Calgary’s defence should rule the day in Grey Cup

EDMONTON — The 2018 Grey Cup presents quite the quandary.

At one end is the Ottawa Redblacks, who got a playoff-record six TD passes from Trevor Harris to rout Hamilton 46-27 in last weekend’s East Division final.

At the other is the Calgary Stampeders, who again posted the CFL best regular-season record but at times looked mortal this season.

Peterborough native Brad Sinopoli anchors a stellar Ottawa receiving corps. Sinopoli had a league-high 116 catches — the most ever by a Canadian — for 1,376 yards and four TDs.

Calgary will counter with a defence that was tops in the CFL in fewest offensive points allowed (17.8 per game), offensive touchdowns (27) and passing TDs (11), and was tied for most sacks (45) and second in fewest offensive yards allowed (321.4).
