This win marked the Stampeders' third straight game, keeping them on track for a CFL playoff berth. The Stampeders now sit at an 8-8 record, while the Riders remain at 8-7. The Riders had the chance to secure a playoff spot with a win but fell short, allowing the Stampeders to take the tiebreaker in the West Division standings. The Stampeders will face the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg on October 10, while the Riders will travel to Montreal to meet the league-leading Alouettes on October 12.",
