Stampeders deal with question of rest versus rust ahead of West Division final
CALGARY — Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and his wife built shelves for a nursery. Wide receiver DaVaris Daniels went home to Chicago to experience his Cubs winning the World Series. Offensive lineman Derek Dennis soaked up a few warm days in Phoenix like a solar battery.
After a 10-day break, the Calgary Stampeders got back to work Thursday.
The CFL’s top team (15-2-1) concluded the regular season with a bye week and don’t play the West Division final at McMahon Stadium until Nov. 20.
Calgary’s opponent will be the winner of Sunday’s division semifinal between the B.C. Lions (12-6) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (11-7). The victor advances to the Grey Cup on Nov. 27 in Toronto.
