Edmonton Elks quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson is sacked by Ottawa Redblacks ' Michael Wakefield as he throws the ball, during second half CFL football action in Ottawa on Friday, July 19, 2024.Playing two games five days apart wasn’t ideal, but the Ottawa Redblacks liked the end result after posting back-to-back wins over the Edmonton Elks with a 20-14 victory Friday night.Things continue to spiral for the Elks who fell to 0-6 and continue to search for answers.
“I’m not going to turn my nose up at any win,” said Redblacks head coach Bob Dyce. “At the end of the day when you look at the CFL standings it says four wins, two losses. I’m extremely proud of those guys playing a game in such short time.” Boris Bede had a rough night for the Elks missing three field goals to go 4-for-7, while McLeod Bethel-Thompson was 27-for-39 for 206 yards and one interception.“Boris I’m sure is kicking himself,” said Jackson. “I’m not going to push his head down any further. I mean, he knows he’s got to make those kicks for us and I think it’s a different ball game if we make those kicks.
“It’s easy to sit in the ivory tower and plan some schedule and think that they’ll be just fine,” said the 36-year-old veteran. “These are human lives that you’re dealing with. These are professionals that you’re dealing with and you’re putting them on a five-day week against the same team. That makes no sense.”
