The Calgary Stampeders ground out a 20-7 victory over the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts on Friday.
With Argonauts starter Chad Kelly limping in the second quarter, Cameron Dukes drew in to play the remainder of the game.
Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie indicated post-game that while Brinkman could be out of commission for awhile, he felt it was possible Kelly and Pickett could play next week."Guys were feeling pretty good about themselves. It was good we got punched in the mouth and we've got to learn from it." Dukes' attempted touchdown throw to Jeremiah Haydel in the end zone was intercepted by Calgary's Jonathan Moxey.
Calgary generated a major on its second possession of the game. Backup quarterback and short yardage specialist Stevens stayed in after gaining a first down.Toronto was coming off a heavy travel week after Touchdown Atlantic in Halifax on Saturday followed by Thursday's flight to Calgary.
