TORONTO -- With less than a month remaining in the regular season, the playoff picture is continuing to change with each game.

This week, the Edmonton Eskimos got back into the race with a big win over the Ticats and an even bigger performance from Fred Stamps.

The Lions took one step closer to locking up first place with a five-point win over the surging Stampeders, while the Blue Bombers stunned the Alouettes on home turf as Joey Elliott led Winnipeg to a crucial win.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders capped off the week with an impressive showing at Rogers Centre over the Toronto Argonauts.

Edmonton 35, Hamilton 20
Kerry Joseph threw three touchdown passes, while Fred Stamps broke out in a big way as the Esks scored a flurry of points in the second half en-route to an impressive 35-20 win over the Ticats at Commonwealth Stadium.

Joseph finished with 359 yards on 24-39 passing, while Stamps had his first 100-plus yard receiving game of the season with 204 yards on nine catches, including a 48-yard touchdown catch that put the Esks ahead by two scores late in the game.
