However, Edmonton's chances to get within field goal range to tie the game with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter were stopped, after taking two costly holding penalties that kept them in their end of the field and were forced to punt the ball away, after Calgary's defensive tackle, DeVone Claybrooks sacked Ricky Ray for a 10-yard loss, which forced Edmonton to rely on their defence to get the ball back. However, the Edmonton defence were unable to stop the Calgary offence, who simply played out the clock to eventually win the Battle of Alberta match-up.
