The Ottawa REDBLACKS have struggled through the early part of their season. In mid-August, the team announced seven changes to its starting lineup for a game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, including the return of players Drew Desjarlais, Habakkuk Baldonado, and Nyles Morgan from injury.

By September, the team remained winless with a record of 0-11. During this period, Ottawa faced a modern CFL record of 17 consecutive losses and significant offensive difficulties, including a game where the team recorded “a single-game low of minus-3 rushing yards.” The team was scheduled to face the Toronto Argonauts, who entered the matchup as heavy favorites.
