Flags flying through 6 weeks for Riders
So far this season, when the Roughriders take to the field, so do the penalty flags.
The Riders have been the most-penalized team in the league so far this year. Through six games, they’ve taken 85 penalties for 732 yards. Their opponents have been flagged 76 times for 643 yards. That’s an average of nearly 15 yards more per game.
“The one thing we have to do, we have to correct our negatives,” said head coach Corey Chamblin.
“That’s a negative performance, negative behaviour, whatever those negatives are we have to address them.”
