CALGARY -- First the Calgary Stampeders lost quarterback Kevin Glenn. Ryan Johansen Jersey . Then they almost lost the Labour Day Classic. Glenn was sidelined in the second quarter by a bruised knee and replaced by backup Bo Levi Mitchell, then the Edmonton Eskimos exploded for four unanswered touchdowns in the final quarter as Calgary held on for a 37-34 victory on Monday. The Stamps built a 37-7 cushion with 10 minutes remaining in the game when Edmonton exploded for four touchdowns. "I thought our team played hard, they played fast, they played physical," Calgary head coach John Hufnagel said. "We need to play smarter and I say that to my football team all the time. "We knew Edmonton was a good fourth-quarter team. We knew there was no quit in that football team. Life is a lesson, so is a football game. Fortunately the mistakes we made didnt cost us the game." Cary Koch, Kerry Joseph, John White, Matt Carter and Fred Stamps had touchdowns for Edmonton (1-8), whose 27 points in the fourth quarter made for a wild finish and a tense one for Stampeder fans at McMahon Stadium. But Calgary (7-2) held on for the win and continues to chase the Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-1) atop the Canadian Football League. The Eskimos lost their seventh in a row and reside West Division basement. The Stampeders led 17-0 after the opening quarter, but their momentum stalled momentarily when Glenn left the game in the second. His leg buckled after a snap and while he managed to complete the pass, Glenn immediately limped off favouring his left leg. He completed eight of 11 pass attempts for 108 yards and a touchdown pass before leaving the game. "He could have played, but he wouldnt have the mobility I thought we needed at the position because of the pressure their front four was getting on us," Hufnagel said Glenn, 34, was also unable to finish Calgarys previous game against Toronto, when a fourth-quarter head injury forced him to the sidelines to comply with the CFLs concussion protocol. Maurice Price led Calgary with a three touchdowns in the receivers first game since injuring his hamstring in Week 3. He finished with 165 receiving yards on five receptions. "Ive been so hungry for one of these so-to-speak, breakout games and it finally feels good to kind of get one," Price said. Mitchell was 11-for-18 in passing for 226 yards and two touchdowns passes in relief of Glenn. Mitchell ran for a short-yardage touchdown before replacing Glenn in the second quarter. Calgary kicker Rene Paredes made three field goals from 41, 14 and 24 yards for the hosts in front of 32,217 at McMahon. It was a miserable three quarters for the Eskimos and quarterback Mike Reilly, who managed just 86 yards of offence before the fourth. Among Edmontons momentum-killing mistakes, Calgary recovered the Eskimos second-half kickoff and produced a field goal out of that turnover. But Edmonton is highest-scoring team in the CFL in fourth quarters. Reilly threw touchdown passes of 35, 18, 33 and seven yards to Carter, White, Koch and Stamps respectively starting at 6:52. Reilly was 16-for-35 in passing with a pair of interceptions and four touchdown throws. Calgary sacked him seven times, led by Charleston Hughes with three. "If youre going to score four touchdowns in the fourth quarter and its not enough to win, you didnt do much right in the first three," Reilly said. "Our offence let us down today. Our defence I thought played a great game. Its hard for them to keep points off the field when we cant stay on the field." Edmonton lost a fifth straight game by five points or less. "Sooner or later the football gods are going to have to smile on us and give us a couple breaks," Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed said. "We created a lot late in the fourth quarter, but early on were just digging ourselves holes." Price had 66- and 42-yard touchdown receptions in the second half. The 27-year-old slowed down at the goal-line to celebrate them, which didnt impress Hufnagel. "He had an excellent night, got himself ready to play and demonstrated the speed he does possess," the coach said. "Obviously I need to coach him to make sure he gets in the end zone before he celebrates." Calgary running back Jon Cornish, the No. 2 rusher in the league behind Saskatchewans Kory Sheets, had 60 yards on 17 carries. The Labour Day rematch is Friday in Edmonton. Colton Sissons Predators Jersey . As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. Calle Jarnkrok Predators Jersey . Bostons bats exploded in Mondays opener, as David Ortiz belted a pair of two-run homers, Stephen Drew homered and drove in four runs and the Red Sox pummeled the Blue Jays, 14-1. http://www.authenticpredatorspro.com/Dan-hamhuis-predators-jersey/ . Cleveland has won the first two of this set and has won six straight games since losing back-to-back tilts to open the year. Seattle, on the other hand, has now lost six in a row following consecutive wins to kick off its campaign. LANDOVER, Md. -- Never much for words, Colin Kaepernick summed up the best statistical game of his NFL career with typical understatement: "I think this was a good step for us in the right direction." Always one to speak at length when theres a camera around, Robert Griffin III reflected on one of the worst games of his young career by referencing "demons" that need to be conquered and the people who are supposedly "trying to character assassinate" him. While their playing styles may be similar, their public personas are as divergent as their performances were in their first face-to-face matchup. Kaepernick clearly outplayed Griffin on Monday night as the San Francisco 49ers broke a two-game losing streak with a 27-6 win over the Washington Redskins. Kaepernick completed 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards -- the first time in five games hes topped 200 -- with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-best 134.5 passing rating. He made a couple of throws to Anquan Boldin that looked worthy of a veteran drop-back quarterback. That should quiet the critics. For a few days, at least. "Some people have baby deer skin," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Hes got the armadillo skin." It will take more than an armadillo to quiet the angst surrounding the Redskins and Griffin, who completed 17 of 27 passes for only 127 yards and was sacked four times. His rating was 58.7, and Washingtons offence amassed a mere 190 total yards. Here are five ruminations on the 49ers (7-4), who remain tied for second with the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West, and the Redskins (3-8), who sit alone in the cellar of the NFC East. HEY, WE KNOW THAT OFFENSE: The 49ers did to Griffin what other defences try to do to Kaepernick -- take away the run and force the QB to throw. Alfred Morris rushed for only 52 yards on 14 carries. The Redskins, playing catch-up, gained only 30 total yards after halftime. San Francisco linebacker Aldon Smith had his first two sacks since undergoing treatment for substance abuse. RG3 AND DAD: Before Griffin headed to his postgame news conference, the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year spoke with an unusual locker-room visitor: his father. RG2 then tagged along for the news conference. When RG3 returned to finish removing his uniform, the two men chatted for several minutes, sitting face-to-face. Griffin started the evening with four incompletions. Austin Watson Predators Jersey. When he finally completed his fifth pass, the play lost a yard. His sixth attempt was intercepted. "Weve got to conquer some of the demons that we have going on as an offence," Griffin said, "and just as a team in general." CRABTREE JOINS THE CREW: Injuries to the 49ers receiving corps have often been cited for Kaepernicks lacklustre passing numbers. Mario Manningham (four catches, 45 yards) recently returned to the lineup, and now 2012 leading receiver Michael Crabtree is set to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and play next week. Crabtree returned to practice Nov. 5 for the first time since tearing his right Achilles tendon in May. "We need them all," Harbaugh said. "This is only for the tough. Where our team is headed, its only for the tough." SHANAHAN DISAPPOINTED: Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said his team got "embarrassed." He said he was "disappointed in the way we performed." He acknowledged that his team had not been "dominated like that since Ive been here." The Redskins are 24-36, including playoff games, since Shanahan arrived with a $35 million, five-year contract. They are currently on pace for their third last-place finish in his four seasons. The defence made Kaepernick look fantastic, and cornerback Josh Wilson was particularly generous, repeatedly getting beaten by receivers. There was a sloppy sequence at the end of the first half for Washingtons offence, including a timeout called while the clock was already stopped on a hurry-up drive. And with the score still only 10-6 early in the second half, Shanahan decided to go for it on fourth-and-2 at the 41 and gave the ball to backup tailback Roy Helu. He was stopped short, and the Niners took over and drove 60 yards for a TD. Still, after all of it, veteran linebacker London Fletcher called Shanahan "a great leader." 49ERS LOOKAHEAD: San Francisco now heads into the stretch run and has to be feeling better about its playoff chances. Of their five remaining games, two are against division foes the Niners beat already -- including St. Louis next Sunday -- and two come against also-rans Tampa Bay and Atlanta. The most intriguing matchup comes in two weeks, at home against NFC West rival Seattle, which leads the NFL with a 10-1 record and beat visiting San Francisco 29-3 in Week 2. ' ' '
