Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat Ottawa Redblacks 42-20
The Saskatchewan Roughriders defeated the Ottawa Redblacks 42-20 at Mosaic Stadium, moving their record to 6-2 and tying for first place in the CFL West Division. Despite Ottawa holding a 14-13 lead early in the third quarter, Saskatchewan responded with three consecutive touchdowns to secure the win.
Quarterback Trevor Harris led the Roughriders with 401 passing yards and two touchdowns, becoming the 12th player in CFL history to surpass 40,000 career passing yards. Running back Tommy Stevens contributed three rushing touchdowns, bringing his season total to 11.
The loss extends the Ottawa Redblacks' losing streak to 14 games and leaves them winless in the current season. The Redblacks' performance was hindered by a difficult start to the second half and an inability to maintain momentum against the defending Grey Cup champions.
