39 seconds to make something happen. Need a heck of a return. ---

Riders in trouble. Do a double lateral on the fly and Argos pick. That’s it. ---

And it’s snowing in Ottawa! Stamps up 14-8 with 4 minutes left in 1st half. High snap by Stamp centre on a punt went over the punter’s head. He did a heads-up play and kicked it out the end zone for a safety of 2, rather than try to recover it.
