Roughriders’ special teams on the upswing
While the ending to last week’s game wasn’t what any players were hoping for, they all agreed Kendial Lawrence was spectacular.
The coaches had been stressing through the season it was only a matter of time before Lawrence would break through for a return touchdown. It happened when the team needed it the most and left the Riders tied with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
“It was a good stride for the team, just to know we put it together and everybody did their job, and it showed on that play because we got a touchdown off it,” Lawrence said.
Of course it was also heartbreaking because of the loss, but Lawrence insists that the important part is that special teams now know it’s possible.
