Blue Bombers 35, Stampeders 14: Zach Collaros threw for 193 yards and a touchdown as visiting Winnipeg scored the final 30 points to stun Calgary in the West Division semifinal.

Collaros was 11-of-21 through the air while Chris Streveler added 82 rushing yards and a touchdown for the Blue Bombers (12-7), who trailed 14-5 late in the second quarter. Darvin Adams caught two passes for 105 yards and a score while Nic Demski rushed for a touchdown for Winnipeg, which will travel to Regina to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Nov. 17 in the West Division final.

Bo Levi Mitchell was limited to 116 yards on 12-of-28 passing with a touchdown, but threw three interceptions for the Stampeders (12-7), who dropped a playoff game against Winnipeg for the first time since 1982. Reggie Begelton accounted for a pair of touchdowns and Don Jackson rushed for 63 yards as Calgary saw its streak of consecutive appearances in the West Division final snapped at seven.

Begelton took a reverse handoff 1 yard for a touchdown to put the Stampeders on top 7-0 and they had a chance to double their lead, but Mitchell was intercepted at the Winnipeg 7-yard line late in the first quarter. Winnipeg was awarded a safety after Mitchell was called for intentional grounding in the end zone before Begelton caught a 19-yard touchdown pass to stretch Calgary's advantage to 14-5, but Justin Medlock drilled a 52-yard field goal to close the gap to six at intermission.

Demski broke free for a 33-yard touchdown and Medlock made no mistake from 42 yards out to put Winnipeg in front 18-14 early in the fourth quarter. Collaros tossed a 71-yard touchdown strike to Adams and Streveler sped away for a 24-yard score to cap off one of the most memorable second-half performances in Blue Bombers' playoff history.
