Former SMU QB Bo Levi Mitchell leads Calgary Stampeders to CFL Grey Cup championship

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Terry Williams and Bo Levi Mitchell helped the Calgary Stampeders end their Grey Cup misery.

Williams had a Grey Cup-record 97-yard punt return for a touchdown and Calgary beat the Ottawa Redblacks 27-16 on Sunday night after falling short the previous two years in the Canadian Football League title game.

Calgary lost 39-33 in overtime to Ottawa in 2016, and dropping a 27-24 decision to Toronto last year. The Stampeders won their eighth title and first since 2014.

Mitchell -- the CFL's most outstanding player this season after throwing a league-best 35 TD passes -- was the game MVP.
