A converted touchdown by Johnny Shepherd and a single on the ensuing kickoff with 1:21 remaining in regulation time provided the winning margin as the Tiger-Cats came back from a 15-2 2nd-quarter deficit to edge tejh Rough Riders before 28,524 fans at Lansdowne Park in what remains the most recent playoff game played in Ottawa. After Hamilton kicker Bernie Ruoff scored a single on a missed field goal, Ottawa quarterback J.C. Watts threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Tyron Gray, and Gerry Organ's convert gave Ottawa a 7-1 lead just 3:13 into the game. Mr. Ruoff and Ottawa's Ken Clark exchanged punt singles later in the quarter, and then Mr. Watts completed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dave Newman, to make the score 15-2 after Mr. Organ's convert at 1:24 of the 2nd quarter. A single by Mr. Ruoff made the score 15-3, and then the Tiger-Cats made a big play to make the game close when linebacker Ed Gataveckas scored the only touchdown of his CFL career, returning a blocked punt 7 yards, with Mr. Ruoff's convert making the score 15-10 at 6:09 of the 2nd quarter. Another single by Mr. Ruoff followed before Hamilton quarterback Dieter Brock connected with Keith Baker for a 12-yard touchdown with 2:55 remaining until halftime. Mr. Ruoff's convert gave Hamilton an 18-15 lead. Mr. Organ kicked a 12-yard field goal to tie the score with 23 seconds left, but Mr. Brock quickly moved the Tiger-Cats into position for Mr. Ruoff to give them a 21-18 lead with a 31-yard field goal on the last play of the 1st half. Messrs. Organ and Ruoff exchanged field goals in the 3rd quarter, and then Mr. Organ missed a 27-yard FG, scoring a single to leave the Rough Riders trailing 24-22 after 3 quarters. Ottawa regained the lead with 12:50 remaining in regulation time when Skip Walker rushed 1 yard for a touchdown, converted by Mr. Organ, to make the score 29-24. Another single by Mr. Ruoff followed, and then Mark Young caught a punt from Mr. Organ at his own 38-yard line and lateralled to Mr. Baker, who went 53 yards to the Ottawa 19-yard line. On third down and 10 yards to go, Mr. Brock threw to Scott Collie, who made the clutch catch at the 3-yard line. Mr. Shepherd rushed for the touchdown on the next play; Mr. Ruoff converted and kicked a single on the kickoff when the ball bounced between two Ottawa returners into the end zone. Mr. Watts marched the Rough Riders inside the Hamilton 20-yard line in the last minute, but 3 straight passes were incomplete, the last a high throw into the Hamilton end zone that Mr. Newman got his hands on but couldn't catch. The Tiger-Cats conceded a safety touch on the last play of the game. Mr. Brock completed 28 of 43 passes for 352 yards, while Mr. Watts was just 15 for 34 for 303 yards. Mr. Gray led all receivers with 98 yards on 4 receptions, while Mr. Newman caught 4 for 87. Ron Johnson led the Tiger-Cats with 95 yards on 4 receptions, while Mr. Baker caught 6 for 88. Mr. Walker, the CFL's rushing leader in the regular season, gained 118 yards on 11 carries. Mr. Shepherd led the Tiger-Cats with 48 yards on 11 carries. It was the final game of the excellent 12-year CFL career of Mr. Organ, and the last in an Ottawa uniform for backup quarterback Chris Isaac, who had been named the league's most outstanding rookie in 1982, but had lost his starting job upon the return of Mr. Watts from a 1-year retirement. It was also the last game for Ernie Calcutt of Ottawa radio station CFRA as the voice of the Rough Riders. The veteran play-by-play broadcaster died on January 10, 1984 at the age of 51, several days after suffering a stroke.

The Blue Bombers scored 3 touchdowns in the last 4 minutes and 42 seconds of the 1st half to break a 7-7 tie and take a 28-7 halftime lead as they coasted to victory over the Eskimos before 31,379 fans at Winnipeg Stadium, ending the Eskimos' record string of Grey Cup championships at 5 and Western Division championships at 6. Winnipeg opened the scoring with 3:13 remaining in the 1st quarter when Scott Flagel blocked Paul Hickie's punt and Aaron Brown returned it 23 yards for a touchdown, converted by Trevor Kennerd. The Eskimos tied the game at 2:23 of the 2nd quarter on a 1-yard touchdown rush by Scott Stauch, converted by Dave Cutler. The Winnipeg offense failed to record a first down until the 3:24 mark of the 2nd quarter, but James Sykes, who rushed 22 times for 124 yards for the game, scored on a 27-yard rush with 4:42 remaining in the 2nd quarter, and on a 1-yard rush with 1:31 remaining. Quarterback Tom Clements completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Murphy with 3 seconds remaining, with all TDs converted by Mr. Kennerd. Mr. Hickie punted 83 yards for a single early in the 3rd quarter, but the Blue Bombers struck back with a 73-yard touchdown pass from Mr. Clements to Jeff Boyd. Bob Cameron's 56-yard punt single gave Winnipeg a 36-8 lead, but the Eskimos immeidately replied with a 75-yard touchdown bomb from Warren Moon to Brian Kelly, converted by Mr. Cutler with 7:51 remaining in the 3rd quarter. Just 1:13 later, Mr. Clements connected with Mr. Murphy for a 60-yard TD, and Mr. Kennerd's convert gave Winnipeg a 43-15 lead after 3 quarters. Mr. Kennerd lined up for a field goal attempt early in the 4th quarter, but Mr. Cameron, the holder, couldn't handle the snap, and Edmonton defensive back Joe Hollmon recovered and ran 59 yards for a touchdown, converted by Mr. Cutler. Mr. Kennerd kicked field goals of 25 and 34 yards to complete the scoring. Rookie Matt Dunigan replaced Mr. Moon late in the game and drove the Eskimos deep into Winnipeg territory, but Milson Jones dropped a third-down pass that may have become a touchdown, and the Blue Bombers ran out the clock. Mr. Clements completed 21 of 29 passes for 445 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Mr. Moon was 13 for 25 for 269 yards, a touchdown and 2 interceptions--both by Donovan Rose. Mr. Dunigan completed 2 of 5 passes for 52 yards. Mr. Kelly led all receivers with 176 yards on 4 receptions, while Mr. Boyd led the Blue Bombers with 7 receptions for 169 yards and Mr. Murphy caught 5 for 122. For the Eskimos, it marked the first time in 11 years that they hadn't advanced to the Western Final, and marked the end of an era. 17 of the 34 players who dressed for the Eskimos in this game never played another game in an Edmonton uniform that counted, including such names as Mr. Moon, Mr. Stauch, Dave Fennell, Larry Highbaugh, Ed Jones, Dale Potter, Tom Scott, James Parker, David Boone, Angelo Santucci, and Emilio Fraietta. Mr. Scott caught just 1 pass for 15 yards, while Pete Harvey, also playing his last game, caught 1 for 21. Mr. Moon led the Edmonton ground game with 27 yards on 3 carries; Mr. Stauch rushed 7 times for 23 yards.
