The Saskatchewan Roughriders snapped a three game losing skid, with a 33-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at Mosaic Stadium Saturday afternoon. Andy Fantuz paced the attack with 7 receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown.
The Riders trailed 4-0 after one quarter, before scoring 19 unanswered points in the second quarter. Corey Holmes scored his first two touchdowns since returning from Hamilton, on a 1 yard run and a 16 yard pass from Kerry Joseph. Joseph completed 26 of 40 passes for 355 yards and 3 touchdowns. KJ also ran for 73 yards.
Next up, the Riders travel to Calgary for a Thanksgiving Day tilt with the Stampeders. A win gives Saskatchewan a 5 point lead over the Stamps for 2nd in the West, and makes a home playoff game a very, very real possibility for the green gang.

Great to get back on the right side of the colum. Front four and linebackers looked much better. The DB's are still a real concern. Everybody catches balls in front of them. Robinson and Johnson were brutal, again. Even Greg Frers said they will need help back there in order to advance in the playoffs.
Don't look now but the SC Broncos just added 100 pts of offense. They will be much better and are a genuine contender to win the division now. Unless the Pats get their crap together Brandon and SC will pull away from them early and we all know how hard it is to make up ground ala last year!
I don't think we have seen the last of the trades. We have too much of what we don't need and not enough of what we do. We sure miss the Kyle Ross grit and work ethic.
We really have to stop giving the other team's receivers 5+ yards to make a catch.
Wow, Felde and Dansereau. I guess the Broncos are pretty serious about this year, especially giving up Bortis.
I'd much rather the db's keep the play in front of them for short completions than letting receivers run past them for touchdowns. Of course, having neither happen would be good too.
