3rd-string QB David Watford, Tiger Cats down Stampeders 23-17
David Watford’s first start in the CFL resulted in a win, even though none of his drives resulted in a touchdown.
Taylor Bertolet connected on all five field-goal attempts and Simoni Lawrence scored a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Calgary Stampeders 23-17 at Tim Horton’s Field on Friday.
“I definitely felt rusty but I was just able to go out there and the guys really got me going,” Watford said.
Watford made his first start under centre for the Ticats (3-3) after injuries to Dane Evans (lower-body) and Jeremiah Masoli (ribs), and finished the game with 19 passes on 22 attempts for 149 yards passing. Masoli dressed as the backup up Friday.
