Saskatchewan Roughriders

Saskatchewan Roughriders legend Darian Durant did not care if the Green and White beat the Ottawa Redblacks mostly by field goals. “It’s not about how you win,” Durant told SportsCage host Barney Shynaruk. “It’s about getting the W. That’s the most important thing.” Riders’ kicker Brett Lauther was the team’s leading contributor in a 29-16 victory over […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders travel to Edmonton on Saturday for a Week 18 match-up with the Elks. With a little help on the out-of-town scoreboard the Green and White can clinch a play-off spot: a Riders win combined with Calgary and Hamilton losses. That said, Saskatchewan’s offence will have a new look from the 12 players that started last week […]

Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive back Deontai Williams was remorseful about his hit on Ottawa Redblacks’ receiver Kalil Pimpleton. “I regret my decision, I wish I could rewind everything. On that play right there, I wish I could use my body weight to lay on them and get them down instead of trying to pick them up and slam […]

Canadian running back Thomas Bertrand-Hudon produced his best professional performance during the Saskatchewan Roughriders 29-16 win over the Ottawa Redblacks in Week 17.  After Ryquell Armstead left the game with an upper body injury, the Mont-Saint-Hilaire, QC native was pressed into action.  “We call him Thomas the Train. Thomas the Train was out there toting that thing. […]

REGINA — Some Canadian Football League games are high-scoring shootouts, some are close back-and-forth battles and some are just grinding wars to the finish. Saturday’s contest between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks was most certainly an example of the latter, as the two teams engaged in a physical scrap that saw the Roughriders emerge […]

Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive line coach Phillip Daniels believes Miles Brown has been unfairly labelled a dirty player.  Brown has been involved in three questionable hits on quarterbacks this season, two resulted in him being fined by the CFL. One fine was handed out for a high hit on Zach Collaros in the Labour Day Classic and […]

Ryquell Armstead is putting the fourth-best, single-game rushing performance in Saskatchewan Roughriders franchise history in the rearview mirror. Armstead led the Riders offence with 25 carries for 207 yards in a 37-29 win over the Calgary Stampeders in Week 16, snapping the team’s seven-game winless streak. The run game’s success meant quarterback Trevor Harris only had to throw the ball […]

Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr. has returned to the team following the birth of his latest child.  Milligan Jr. missed the Riders 37-29 win over the Calgary Stampeders to be with his wife Samantha after his daughter was born on Tuesday, September 17. “We had constant communication, even throughout the bye week, when things we’re […]

Despite it being the team’s first post-Labour Day victory since 2021, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are moving ahead quickly after a 37-29 win over the Stampeders in Calgary. That said, there are a number of positives that can be drawn from the Week 16 game. Running back Ryquell Armstead ran for 207 yards on 25 carries, the fourth most in a single […]

Ryquell Armstead couldn’t have asked for a better debut with his new team. Only four days after joining the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the former Ottawa Redblacks running back put together the best rushing performance of the season for the Green and White, carrying 25 times for 207 yards as the Riders took a 37-29 victory over […]
