Roughriders storm back from 17-point deficit to down Redblacks 18-17
OTTAWA — A rouge left the Ottawa Redblacks red in the face Friday night
Josh Bartel kicked a 41-yard punt single with just over two minutes to play as the Saskatchewan Roughriders rallied past the Redblacks 18-17 on Friday.
Bartel’s game-winning point completed an 18-point comeback by Saskatchewan. The win came despite the fact that William Powell set a new Redblacks’ record for rushing yards in a single game. Jonathan Williams set the mark of 180 yards in 2014. Powell broke it late in the third quarter, finishing the game with 187 yards.
“I’m feeling great, the O-line is doing great and we just have to try to get a win,” said Powell. “Everything was clicking and we were doing what we had focus on doing. We wanted to come in and establish the run, and I felt like we did that. Some mistakes at the end of the game though.”
