Bo Levi Mitchell, Stampeders beat Alouettes to start season 5-0
CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders weren’t very pleased with their performance despite beating the Montreal Alouettes 25-8 on Saturday.
Although the Stampeders (5-0) jumped out to a lead of 19-1 by halftime, they were disappointed they let the Alouettes (1-4) back into the game with an early touchdown in the third quarter.
“It’s interesting because you win by 17 and you just don’t feel great about it,” said Calgary coach Dave Dickenson.
“It’s pro sports and every win’s hard. You really should cherish it and you should really respect your opponent and believe that every win should be special and yet I look at what we did offensively. I didn’t think our special teams were very good. It just makes me want to be better. “
