Roughriders pick up second straight win, beating the Tiger-Cats 20-18
REGINA — Confident and exciting are two words not often used when describing a three-win team.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders, now riding a two-game winning streak after a 20-18 victory on Saturday over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, are an upbeat bunch at 3-10 and feel their playoff chances are still very much alive.
“The excitement level is fantastic,” receiver Rob Bagg told reporters after the game. “When you get that feeling, you’re hungry to go out and get it again.”
Tyler Crapigna kicked a 29-yard field goal as time expired to life the Riders to their second consecutive walk-off win on home turf. The previous week they upset the Edmonton Eskimos in overtime thanks to Darian Durant’s touchdown run.
