Both teams are 2-3, and each one needs a win to bring them back to 500. Maier played well for the Stamps last week, passing for 315 yards in a walk-off win thanks to a Paredes field goal. The Redblacks had a huge comeback win last week, coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 4th quarter to win it in a thrilling overtime victory. Crum, in his first CFL start, was a huge factor.

Lots of story lines in this one. Who is going to take this one?

Yeah, that was sweet! About passing defenders, like there for instance, how do they know when to put their hands on the receiver (if the QB isn't in their sightline)? Are they watching the receiver's body language mostly?

Some handfighting is tolerated, but anything other than that is interference and a flag. Yeah, they watch the receiver, especially their body language and eyes. When the receiver's eyes get big and their hands go out, they know the ball is there.
