## Resource

Edmonton Elks roar back to life with a 53-16 demolition of the Calgary Stampeders, securing their first playoff berth since 2019 and ending their longest drought in franchise history. After a brutal loss to Calgary last week, the Elks delivered a statement win — their fourth straight victory, now sitting at 10-3. Quarterback Cody Fajardo led the charge, Joe Robustelli lit up the scoreboard with two TDs, and the defense sealed it with a blocked punt return for a score. Calgary, reeling at 5-8, couldn’t keep up despite early momentum from Vernon Adams Jr. and field goals from Rene Paredes. The Elks’ resilience, even without injured RB Justin Rankin, proves consistency wins championships — while Calgary’s season hangs in the balance.
