Saskatchewan Roughriders Overview

The Saskatchewan Roughriders enter Week 19 with momentum on their side, riding a three-game winning streak that has propelled them into second place in the West Division. At 8-7, the Riders have a golden opportunity to secure a home playoff game with a victory over the 8-8 BC Lions.

Key Players

Trevor Harris (QB)
Harris has been instrumental in the Riders’ recent success, throwing for 2,993 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions this season. In his last two games, he’s surpassed 300 passing yards, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively.

Samuel Emilus (WR)
The Canadian receiver has been a breakout star for Saskatchewan, amassing 979 receiving yards on 82 catches with 5 touchdowns. Emilus is on the verge of his second consecutive 1,000-yard season and will be a key target for Harris.

Ryquell Armstead (RB)
Armstead has been a dual-threat out of the backfield, rushing for 862 yards and 3 touchdowns while adding 298 receiving yards on 38 catches. His versatility will be crucial against the Lions’ defense.

Rolan Milligan Jr. (DB)
Milligan has been a defensive standout, leading the league with 8 interceptions and 20 special team tackles. His playmaking ability in the secondary will be vital in containing the Lions’ passing attack.

Keys to the Game

Aerial Assault
The Riders’ passing game has been clicking lately, averaging 429 net yards with a 79.3% completion rate over the last three games. Continuing this efficient aerial attack will be crucial against BC’s secondary.

Contain the Run
Saskatchewan’s run defense has been stout recently, allowing just 84 rushing yards total in the last two games. They’ll need to maintain this discipline against BC’s ground game.

Win the Turnover Battle
With playmakers like Milligan in the secondary, forcing turnovers could be the difference in what promises to be a closely contested match.

Capitalize on Home Field Advantage
The Riders have a chance to secure a home playoff game with a win, and feeding off the energy at Mosaic Stadium could provide a significant boost.
