The Saskatchewan Roughriders are back in the Canadian Football League playoffs, The Roughriders clinched a spot in the postseason for the first time since the 2021 campaign on Saturday night, thanks to a 28-24 victory over the Edmonton Elks in Edmonton. Both teams passed for more than 300 yards in the contest, which saw the Riders improve to 8-7-1 and move into second place in the East Division. Edmonton fell to 5-11-0 and have been eliminated from the playoffs. The Reaction Saskatchewan head coach Corey Mace was more than happy with the win, even if things were a little chaotic at times. Both teams came into the contest with a ton on the line -- the Riders clinching their spot, the Elks hoping to stay alive -- and that made for a high-pressure situation that Saskatchewan was able to get the better of. While the passing game was going well for both teams, it was the Roughriders who came up with the big plays on defence -including a huge forced fumble and recovery in the game’s final minutes as Edmonton attempted to drive the field for the winning points, Creating those big plays on defence through simple hard work
was all part of the plan. Saskatchewan would successfully run down the clock and the victory was in the books. Despite what they went through in their mid-season doldrums, Saskatchewan has now won three straight and have even put themselves into a position where back-to-back wins in the coming weeks could give them home-field advantage in the first round. The Stats Harris completed 23 of 28 passes for 358 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Emilus was his favourite target with four catches for 126 yards, while Johnson had five catches for 103. Frankie Hickson led the ground game with 15 carries for 46 yards. Bethel-Thompson capped his night 33-for-41 for 379 yards, also with two majors and two picks. Gittens had 10 catches for 122 yards, Lewis five for 87, Saskatchewan finished the game with 387 yards of offence while Edmonton racked up 409 yards. The Riders host the B.C. Lions on Saturday, Oct. 12 at Mosaic Stadium before closing out their regular season the following weekend on Saturday, Oct. 26 when the Calgary Stampeders are in Regina.
