The Tiger-Cats managed one offensive touchdown's worth of points all game and it wasn't even a touchdown.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders pulled away in the second half and buried the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 38-7 at Mosaic Stadium, improving to 4-1 and keeping pace atop a stacked West Division. Hamilton falls to 2-3 and now sits in a three-way logjam for the East's second spot, and this one wasn't close after halftime.

Quick Hits
Hamilton's offense never found the end zone — its lone touchdown drive simply never showed up, with all 7 points coming off a first-quarter and second-quarter field-goal-type scoring split and nothing after halftime.
Tommy Stevens didn't throw much (1/1 for 9 yards) but punched in two rushing touchdowns on just 8 carries, doing more damage with his legs than most starters do all game.
James Vaughters terrorized Hamilton's line with 2 sacks, part of a three-sack night for Saskatchewan's defensive front that had Jake Dolegala running for his life.
