After a big win over Winnipeg last week, it was back to the drawing board for Saskatchewan.
Knowing it would be a clone of the tempo and style of football, the Riders wanted to correct the last-second moment when Winnipeg tied the game, forcing overtime.

The BC Lions are knocking on the door and at the moment are poised to take away Saskatchewan’s number 2 spot in the West Division.

It was a slugfest in the Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg.
In a much-needed win to stay alive in a playoff hunt, Winnipeg put on a grind-it-out display in a hard-fought battle vs. Saskatchewan.
Redha Kramdi was sensational for the Bombers' defence, making big plays to halt the Saskatchewan offence.
However, it came at a cost, as Zach Collaros received a lot of punishment from the Saskatchewan defence. Furthermore, after throwing an interception, Collaros tried to make a tackle. He fell awkwardly on his head and neck late in the 3rd quarter. Collaros was then pulled from the game.
Next game: Winnipeg has a bye in week 16. Their next scheduled game is Friday, September 25th, 2026, vs. Toronto.
Record: 7-6

What could go wrong did go wrong for Calgary.
If Calgary felt they let last week's game slip away to their arch-rivals, yesterday’s game was counterintuitive in the current back-to-back series.
Vernon Adams Jr. had a rough day moving the offence in an effective manner.
After the 2nd quarter, Edmonton piled up the points at will. Calgary, on the other hand, had no solution to the task at hand.
If Calgary is looking to punch a ticket to the postseason, they need to win as many games as possible. Calgary will play back-to-back games vs. Ottawa. Followed by games in Saskatchewan, in Winnipeg, and ending at home vs. BC.
Next game: Saturday, September 19th, 2026 vs. Ottawa.
Record: 4-9
Previous ranking: 8
Hamilton was on a bye in Week 15. At 4-9, they will need to run the table for their last 5 scheduled games or need a lot of help in their favour to qualify for a playoff spot.
It will be a difficult task ahead, as they will host Montreal in Week 16
Next game: Friday, September 18th, 2026 vs. Montreal.
9 - Ottawa Redblacks
Record: 0-12
Previous ranking: 9
Although overshadowed this season, Ottawa played decent football up to halftime in just about every game this season. The problem with Ottawa is the collapse in the 2nd half.
Entering Toronto in Week 15, aside from being winless this season, Ottawa was searching for any positives for a victory.
With the result being another defeat, Ottawa made it difficult for Toronto. It was their best overall performance to date.
Next game: Saturday, September 19th, 2026 in Calgary.
