It was the first 400-yard passing game in the Grey Cup in 20 years, since Danny McManus in 1996; it was the fourth-highest passing yardage in Grey Cup history. Since they lost the Grey Cup here in 2012 to Toronto, they’ve had the league’s best record or been tied for it each of the last four years. “This is the perfect setting to have this type of game,” said Burris, after his Ottawa Redblacks upset the heavily favoured Calgary Stampeders 39-33 in overtime to win the 104th Grey Cup, in Toronto. Henry Burris is 41 years old, and the road to this place was a complicated one. They ran a bootleg with Canadian QB Andrew Buckley, who earlier had become the first Canadian quarterback to score a Grey Cup touchdown in 48 years.
