Edmonton Elks end longest home losing streak in North American professional sports history
Canadian quarterback Tre Ford threw for 317 yards, a touchdown and ran one in himself as the Edmonton Elks ended a massive drought and finally got a win at home, defeating the Ottawa Redblacks 30-20 on Sunday.
Major League Baseball’s St. Louis Browns, who lost 20 straight in 1953 before becoming the Baltimore Orioles the following season, previously held the record. “It was obviously a very frustrating loss,” said Redblacks head coach Bob Dyce. “I don’t know that we won the battle in any of the phases today. Any loss we take very hard, no matter what the situation. So this is very, very disappointing.
Ford, a University of Waterloo grad, came out of the dressing room to start the third quarter still firing on all cylinders, completing a 68-yard bomb of a pass and run to Gavin Cobb down to the three, setting up a short-yardage TD plunge by backup QB Taylor Cornelius.
