Riders blow early lead in 35-24 loss to Eskimos
The Riders final game at Mosaic Stadium this season was more of the same from the home team.
As quickly as the Riders jumped out to a 21-3 lead against the Eskimos, it evaporated with Edmonton going on to win their seventh straight game 35-24 on Saturday night.
“I probably sound like a bit of a broken record. I know when we play well we can play with most teams in the league. The challenge is, and like I told (the players), 16 games in we can’t be having the same challenges,” said interim head coach Bob Dyce.
“As much as we like to say we can play with these teams, to say we’re a good team, we have to be able to sustain it.”
