The Saskatchewan Roughriders extended their Grey Cup drought to 11 years after losing 38-22 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL’s Western Final on Saturday.
The Bombers advance to their fifth straight Grey Cup and will move on to face the Toronto Argonauts who defeated the Montreal Alouettes earlier in the day.
It was a dominant performance from Winnipeg from the start and Saskatchewan could not keep up.
The Bombers opened the scoring with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler to go up 7-0 with 5:10 remaining in the first quarter.
Lawler continued to outplay the Saskatchewan defence with a massive 65-yard catch with just under three minutes to go and then turned the next play into another touchdown after a 24-yard catch from quarterback, Zach Collaros.
Saskatchewan struggled to get any offence rolling in the first quarter. Mario Alford started an important drive with a massive 35-yard run return to put the Riders on their own 52-yard line. But Saskatchewan had to settle for a field goal with a successful 40-yard attempt from Brett Lauther.
The Riders trailed 14-3 with 19 seconds to go in the first quarter. Saskatchewan had only 29 net yards in the first 15 minutes, compared to Winnipeg’s 186 and had only garnered two first downs so far.
