Saskatchewan Roughriders withstand late rally to beat Elks 19-17, ensuring Edmonton will finish season without a home victory
The Edmonton Elks will finish a CFL season without a win at home for the first time in the team’s 72-year history.
“There’s no solace in it, but we are close. Anybody that isn’t in that locker-room doesn’t understand the kind of effort that these guys keep coming with game after game.” “I don’t think a lot of people give us credit for that. It is very hard to do, travelling all over the place for some very good football teams. Tonight, Edmonton was in their home stadium for the last time. We knew they were going to give us everything they had. And they played well. It came down to the wire, typical CFL game.”
Saskatchewan responded with 10 second-quarter points. They tied the game on Brett Lauther’s 26-yard field goal after the Roughriders converted two third-and-short situations during a 10-play drive.
