Paredes’ 62-yard field goal lifts Stampeders to 40-38 win over Redblacks
CALGARY - In a thrilling CFL matchup on Saturday, the Calgary Stampeders edged out the Ottawa Redblacks 40-38, thanks to a 62-yard field goal by Rene Paredes from two seconds left on the clock. Paredes' record-breaking kick marked the longest of his career. Quincy Vaughn played a pivotal role with two short-yardage rushing touchdowns, while Tevin Jones and Jalen Philpot each scored on touchdown receptions.
Calgary's defense held strong, allowing only five touchdowns to Ottawa's quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Despite Bethel-Thompson's impressive performance with five touchdown passes, the Redblacks couldn't overcome Calgary's resilience and ultimately fell to 0-13 on the season. The Stampeders, who currently sit last in the West Division, will next face the Redblacks in a home and home series.
