Quick Hits
Tommy Stevens punched in three rushing touchdowns as Saskatchewan's ground game piled up 139 yards on just 23 carries.
Ottawa actually out-attempted Saskatchewan through the air (46 vs. 38) but couldn't find the end zone enough to keep pace, settling for a garbage-time rushing TD from backup QB Bryson Barnes.
KeeSean Johnson went off for 11 catches and 133 yards, another big fantasy week for Trevor Harris' top target.
