Of all the losses the Ottawa Redblacks have suffered in their decade-long history, none have hurt more than the kick in the gut they took Saturday night in Vancouver.Up by 16 points with three minutes left, the Redblacks surrendered three touchdowns in a crushing 41-37 defeat that all but officially ends their slim hope of making the playoffs.First it was a six-yard TD pass from Vernon Adams Jr. to Justin McInnes.
The Redblacks offence, which had been so good in the third quarter, couldn’t move the ball in the fourth. The loss was the seventh in a row for the Redblacks , while the Lions moved to within two points of the West Division-leading Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The story on this night should have been how Dustin Crum, the fourth-string quarterback of the team just a couple of months ago, turned in an exception performance in an upset victory.
If he was questioning the play selection in the fourth quarter, he wasn’t about to say so in the media. They fell behind when Sean Whyte connected with a 38-yard field goal on the Lions’ opening drive of the third quarter, but then the Redblacks took control.
