CFL: Roughriders trounce Lions to clinch home playoff game [Video]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders will host their first playoff game at Mosaic Stadium since 2021 after a convincing 39-8 win over the B.C. Lions on Saturday night.

It was also their fourth straight win since returning from a bye-week improving their record to 9-7-1.  

The Green and White can also still take first place in the CFL’s West Division. To do that they will need to defeat the Calgary Stampeders in their final game of the regular season and see Winnipeg lose in Montreal.

Both the Riders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers have a bye-week coming up and won’t play again until Week 21, the final week of the 2024 regular season. 

The CFL’s Western Semi-Final will be on Saturday Nov. 2. The Western Final is scheduled for a week later, Nov. 9.

The Riders got touchdown receptions from Jerreth Sterns and Kian Schaffer-Baker. Brett Lauther had six field goals on Saturday.
