WINNIPEG — Tyreik McAllister put together among the rarest of performances in the CFL on Friday night, scoring three different ways to lead the Calgary Stampeders to a dominating 52-30 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. McAllister became the first player in league history to record a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, and a kick return touchdown all in a single game. The 28-year-old running back opened the scoring with a 17-yard run, hauled in a 56-yard TD pass, and returned a missed field goal 118 yards for a major. All three touchdowns came in the first half. "They told me at the end of the game and I was like, 'Wow, that's crazy,'" McAllister said after the game. "I'm just grateful for my coaches and my teammates for putting me in a position to make those plays."
