The good times keep rolling for the red-hot Saskatchewan Roughriders after a 19-9 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday.
It was a struggle for the Winnipeg offense as the Riders defense gave the Bombers a tough time with two turnovers and 65 rushing yards by the Bombers. Winnipeg scored only three field goals.
Saskatchewan’s balanced pass and run attack played a significant role, with 377 yards of offense, 261 through the air and 132 yards on the ground. Quarterback Shea Patterson improved with his best outing with 261 passing yards and 35 rushing yards with one major.
The Riders improved to 5-1 on the year, while the Bombers dropped to 2-5.
