Riders scored on a punt return to give the Riders the lead

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.

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?!!

Calgary trailing 14-0

...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.
