Robertson addressed the media after being handed a one\u002Dgame ban by the CFL
“Our offence was playing great all night. When adversity hit, either on offence or defence, the guys got to have your back.Riders’ quarterback Jake Dolegala, who engineered the touchdown drive and successful two-point convert in overtime, understands the punishment handed down but says the team will always support Robertson.“Obviously it’s a bummer that he’s out but I think it was right, we don’t need that in this game.
Roughriders’ head coach Craig Dickenson said the team accepts the league’s punishment and is moving forward from it. “He came out right away, he knew he screwed up, he apologized to the team and I think he’s done a pretty good job of making sure the guys know that that’s not the Pete that we can expect in the future and he’s sorry for what he did.”As the Riders returned to practice, there were a few key faces held out and a few re-joining the team on the field.
On the flip side, the Riders were without right tackle Colin Kelly, who is expected to be out for an extended period of time after suffering a knee injury on Sunday. Brandon Council will draw the start at right tackle this week.
