Winless Redblacks looking to rebound from heartbreaking loss in rematch with Stamps

Ottawa Redblacks, currently winless with a 0-13 record, are hoping to turn the tide in their upcoming rematch against the Calgary Stampeders. The teams will clash in Ottawa, aiming to break a 19-game losing streak that began last September. The Stampeders narrowly defeated Ottawa 40-38 in last week's game, thanks to a dramatic 62-yard field goal by Rene Paredes with seconds left on the clock.

The Redblacks' head coach, Ryan Dinwiddie, emphasized the importance of remaining positive and competing at a high level, despite the team's current struggles. Quarterback MacLeod Bethel-Thompson, at 38 years old, brought his first career start in last week's game, throwing for 379 yards and five touchdowns. The Stampeders, aiming to stay in playoff contention, will rely on key players like Justin Hardy, who had a standout performance last week with 12 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown.
