There will be a new Grey Cup champion in the Canadian Football League (CFL) after the Saskatchewan Roughriders were eliminated from playoff contention with a 33-26 loss to the BC Lions. BC will advance to the West Final in Edmonton, where they will meet the Elks. Saskatchewan held an early lead, but an inability to find the end zone proved costly as the Roughriders’ hopes of defending their Grey Cup title came to an end. Kicker Brett Lauther was a bright spot for the green and white, connecting on six field goals. However, the offence managed just one touchdown in the loss.
