Riders secure home playoff game with 35-16 win over B.C.
And just like that, a locker room full of Saskatchewan Roughriders turned into B.C. Lions fans.
The green and white secured a home playoff game with a 35-16 victory over Lions Saturday night and because the Blue Bombers beat the Stampeders Friday night – first place is still up for grabs.
So when handshakes happened when the game ended, the Riders let their opponents know they were cheering them on next week. If B.C. beats Calgary, the Riders will finish atop the league.
“That what we told them walking off the field,” offensive lineman Tacoby Cofield said with a laugh. “We need them to get that win next week so don’t worry about this one and move ahead … shake it off.”
