VANCOUVER — Bo Levi Mitchell started another streak for passing touchdowns, throwing for two majors as the Calgary Stampeders had no trouble disposing of the B.C. Lions 37-9 in a first-place showdown in the CFL's West Division Friday.

The Calgary quarterback had a streak of 21 straight games with at least one passing touchdown snapped last week in the Stamps road win against Saskatchewan but had no trouble with the Lions defence.

The win gave Calgary (6-1-1) a three-point edge in the West Division standings over the Lions (5-3). More importantly, the Stampeders also secured the season series tie-breaker in the final regular season meeting of the teams.

B.C. introduced its special teams unit prior to kickoff and captain Jason Arakgi didn't waste time claiming a league record for tackles, but that was the highlight for the Lions.

Arakgi recorded his 185th career special-teams tackle on the opening kickoff, giving him one more than Wade Miller, who is now president of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

However the Lions offence could only generate three field goals by Richie Leone while Calgary's Mitchell operated the Stampeders offence with relative ease.

Mitchell found Bakari Grant on the Stamps' opening possession for a 21-yard touchdown. In the second quarter, the Calgary quarterback capped an 11-play drive with a 13-yard scoring toss to Rob Cote. Both Calgary majors were aided by a B.C. penalty.

Calgary's Rene Paredes also connected on a 45-yard field goal in the first half, pushing his streak of made three-pointers to 21 in a row. Leone, who is last among active field-goal kickers with only a 65 per-cent success rate entering the game, missed from 48 yards out in the first quarter.

Despite generating only nine first downs in the opening half, the Lions only trailed 17-9 at intermission. However, Lions returner Chris Rainey fumbled away the opening kickoff of the second half. Calgary only needed two plays to turn the mistake into a five-yard touchdown run by Jerome Messam.

Paredes hit two more field goals to extend his streak to 23 straight. Mitchell's backup, Andrew Buckley, also scored a one-yard rushing touchdown.

At no point did the Lions have anything resembling a response. Lions quarterback Jon Jennings had a streak of four straight games with at least 300 passing yards snapped. Jennings was eventually replaced by Travis Lulay.

B.C. begins a two-game road trip in Ottawa Thursday. Calgary returns home to play host to Hamilton Aug. 28.
