The Redblacks (4-10) sit outside the CFL's playoff picture, but they’re not eliminated. They will try to keep those hopes alive when they host the Montreal Alouettes (7-7) Saturday afternoon. Montreal can clinch a post-season berth with a win.
The Redblacks have two games left against both the Alouettes and Toronto, which doesn’t bode well for Ottawa considering its record against East Division rivals. The Redblacks have lost 16 consecutive home games to East competition, with their last win coming Nov. 2, 2018 against Toronto.
Ottawa's dim playoff chances are largely a product of a seven-game losing streak that ended last week with a 36-28 victory over Saskatchewan. The Redblacks will be looking to build off momentum from the win. “They’re a pretty talented defence and they’re going to have times where they’re going to make plays and some of the times where their DB’s are going to do a really good job of covering our guys," said Crum."You can’t try to force things or force big plays to happen. They’re going to happen when they happen. We have a lot of playmakers that will do their thing.”
“Money’s an amazing playmaker, one of the best in this league I think,” said Santos-Knox. “To have him back is not just a confidence boost for us as a defence, but also a locker room moral booster. He’s one of our leaders by far.”
