Calgary scraped into the playoffs with a 6-12 record, having won the head-to-head with Saskatchewan.
The Stampeders did not manage to string together victories until October, but when they did it all but secured a postseason place.
They were standing at 4-11 when they faced Saskatchewan on October 13, and a 27-19 victory over the Roughriders put them on the brink.
Calgary then backed that up a week later with one of the upsets of the season, beating playoff opponents, the BC Lions, 41-16 on the road.
The Stampeders failed to wrap up the regular season with a win though, losing 36-13 to Winnipeg.
