The final 1983 Canadian Football League regular season game was played at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta on Sunday, November 6, 1983 between the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Entering the game, the host Stampeders had an 8-7 record and needed only a tie to make the playoffs while the Roughriders had a 4-11 record and were eliminated from playoff contention. After trailing for most of the game, the Roughriders scored a touchdown off of a turnover with only 27 seconds remaining and upset the Stampeders by a final score of 27-23.
The loss caused the Stampeders to miss the playoffs as their provincial archrivals and five-time defending Grey Cup champion Edmonton Eskimos, who had already finished 8-8 and would have missed the playoffs with a Calgary win or tie, held the decisive tiebreaker over the Stampeders by a narrow margin. The closing minutes of the game in particular remain one of the best examples of an already-eliminated team aggressively and successfully playing the role of spoiler in major professional sports in the United States and Canada.[1]
