Mitchell completed 22-of-33 passes while Ante Milanovic-Litre rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown for the Stampeders (11-5), who can clinch their fourth straight division title if they win their two remaining games. Josh Huff hauled in six passes for 121 yards while Begelton recorded 62 yards on four receptions for Calgary, which has won four of its last five contests.

Chris Streveler was 18-of-27 for 134 yards and a touchdown while gaining 85 yards on the ground for the Blue Bombers (10-7), who have dropped four of their last five games. Kenny Lawler caught a pair of passes for 41 yards and a touchdown while Lucky Whitehead rushed for a score as Winnipeg missed a chance to take the season series with Calgary for the first time since 2012.

Mitchell fired a 9-yard scoring strike to Begelton to help put Calgary on top 11-3 before Marcus Sayles returned a fumble 24 yards for a touchdown and Whitehead ran for a 25-yard score as Winnipeg took a 20-11 lead. Mitchell threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Begelton to pull the Stampeders within one point before Lawler made a 34-yard TD catch to give the Blue Bombers a 27-19 advantage at halftime.

Rene Paredes (32 yards) and Justin Medlock (41) traded field goals before Milanovic-Litre rushed for a 3-yard touchdown and Mitchell found Huff for the two-point conversion with 3:57 left in the third quarter to level the score at 30-30. Begelton made two defenders miss en route to a 17-yard touchdown reception that put Calgary in front 37-33 and DaShaun Amos picked off a pass by Streveler on the final play to clinch a crucial victory.
