The Argos stay conservative and the Riders take the lead on a 79-yard punt return, 21-18. Marc Trestman did a Wally Buono impersonation by trying ti sit on a lead for 30 minutes and it backfired.

In the end, Kevin Glenn made too many mistakes for the Riders to overcome, throwing 3 first-half interceptions that led to 17 Argo points, but the Argos nearly gave the game away in the second half by trying to sit on a 15-point lead.

Bo Levi Mitchell will have to play his best game of the year to keep up with Mike Reilly and the Esks.

Glad the Argos came through. I would hate to have to pull for either Calgary or Edmonton to win in Ottawa. Now I have somebody I can get behind.

Stamps know the Esks are on fire right - yet they seem to have that same sort of nonchalance they had in their last losing efforts.

Now down 2 TDs. Will that wake them up.

Adam Konar - now how did BC miss that kid?!!

...and the Crossover drought continues--SSK came closer than anyone to breaking it. In the end, it was Kevin Glenn being Kevin Glenn that frittered away too many opportunities early.
