10 – The Tiger-Cats have lost their last three games against the Stampeders by a combined score of just 10 points. None of the three games were decided by a margin of four or more points.
4 – After recording his fourth punt return touchdown of the 2015 season, Brandon Banks is now just one back of the league’s single-season record. Former Ticats returner and receiver Chris Williams set the record of five in the 2012 season with the Black and Gold.
701 – Luke Tasker took over the team lead in receiving yards (701) and receptions (50) on Friday night, also becoming the first Hamilton receiver to reach 700 yards this season. Terrence Toliver had held the team lead for the first 14 weeks of the season.
107 – In his return to the Ticats, running back Michael Ford led the team in yards from scrimmage with 50 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards.
57 – Justin Medlock tied his career-long field goal in Friday’s game, hitting a first-quarter field goal from 57 yards.
10 – With two more pass knockdowns in Friday’s game, Emanuel Davis increased his total to a league-leading 10 on the season. Davis leads the league in interceptions (5), pass breakups (10) and pick sixes (3).
0 – After allowing nine receptions and over 100 yards to Stamps receiver Jeff Fuller in Week One, the Ticats did not allow Fuller to make a single catch in last week’s game.
+15 – Despite a -7 turnover ratio over the last two games, the Ticats still hold a considerable lead over the rest of the league in both turnovers and turnover ratio this season. The Stampeders are second in the league with a +4 turnover ratio.
4 – Bryan Hall’s blocked field goal attempt on Friday night made him the fourth player on the Ticats with a blocked kick in 2015. The Roughriders have also recorded four blocked kicks this season, while three teams (BC, Ottawa, Toronto) have not blocked a single kick.
