But Calgary rallied , saving their season with an 8 - 10 record , good for a second place finish in the West Division . The Stampeders secured their berth in the Grey Cup with playoff victories over B . C . and Edmonton . Calgary ’ s opponent was a strong Winnipeg Blue Bombers club which had the CFL ’ s best regular season record of 14 - 4 . But it was clear regular season play didn ’ t matter as the Stampeders built a 17 - 4 lead at halftime . Trailing 4 - 3 late in the second quarter , Calgary quarterback Marcus Crandell hit a streaking Marc Boerigter down the left hash marks for a 68 - yard touchdown . The Stampeders struck again before intermission when Calgary flooded the right side with receivers and Crandell hit Travis Moore for a nine - yard score . It seemed to be the wake - up call the Blue Bombers needed . On their first possession of the second half , quarterback Khari Jones hit Arland Bruce III for a 23 - yard touchdown completion . But the turning point came at 5 : 37 of the fourth quarter . With the Blue Bombers trailing 17 - 12 , Calgary ’ s Aldi Henry — playing the game in his hometown — blocked Bob Cameron ’ s punt attempt . Willie Fells recovered the ball and ran 11 yards for a Calgary touchdown . The Blue Bombers fought back , as Jones hit Milt Stegall who made a remarkable 23 - yard touchdown reception . But once again the Stampeders pulled further ahead . Stuck on the Calgary 11 with time ticking down , Crandell threw to running back Kelvin Anderson on a sideline pattern . Anderson slipped past Marvin Coleman for a 44 - yard gain . Three plays later , Mark McLoughlin kicked a 24 - yard field goal . There was one final comeback attempt by Winnipeg . With the Blue Bombers on the Calgary 36 with time running out , Jones was driven by Stampeders defensive tackle Joe Fleming into the turf for a game - ending sack . It was a game of missed opportunity for the Blue Bombers , who repeatedly got near or into Calgary territory and came away empty handed . Winnipeg kicker Troy Westwood missed three of four field goal attempts . 2001 CFL Playoffs . West Division .
