The Ottawa Redblacks pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Grey Cup history, defeating the Calgary Stampeders 39-33 in overtime.

Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris threw an 18-yard touchdown to Ernest Jackson in overtime. Calgary, who got the ball second, could not equalize, giving Ottawa its first CFL title since 1976, when they were called the Rough Riders.

Burris led the charge with 461 yards passing and three touchdowns. He added two more touchdowns on the ground.

Redblacks . . . If the were from, say, Detroit, they would give liberals the vapors.
