The Redblacks suffered a big loss on the ill\u002Dadvised play that led to their big loss in B.C. as kicker Ward headed for season\u002Dending surgery
Veteran kicker Lewis Ward will have season-ending surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle — an injury he sustained while trying to tackle Terry Williams as the Lions’ return specialist was busy returning a wide field goal attempt 120 yards for the crippling touchdown — in the complete collapse that sent Ottawa home with a devastating 41-37 defeat.
Being heavily scrutinized is Dyce’s call to go for a field goal from 50 yards out, rather than pin the Lions deep with a punt, with the Redblacks up by 10 and 1:49 left on the clock. Dyce has stuck to his convictions, saying the field goal would have put a dagger in the Lions, and did add that the call was his alone.
Meanwhile, a case could be made that this is the most disappointing season in a Redblacks history that includes the 2-14 inaugural campaign, which arrived with no expectations on the expansion franchise.
