Don’t Call It A Comeback!
Only in Riderville!
In some ways it was a fitting end to the season for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Blow a 13-point fourth-quarter lead, have a game-winning field goal called back on a penalty, and then lose in overtime - just another day at the office this season for the troubled Esks.
Henri Childs scored a pair of touchdowns, including the winner in overtime as the Saskatchewan Roughriders applied the final shovel of dirt on the Eskimos, coming from behind in stunning fashion to knock the storied franchise out of the playoff picture for the second year in a row with a 36-29 victory on Friday.
“It’s a terrible way to end the season, but if you look at the season in general it is kind of in the pattern,” said Eskimos linebacker A.J Gass. “We’ve had opportunities and we’ve let them slip away all year. It was the same story tonight.”
