Jones’ punt return TD rallies Riders to 31-20 road victory over Ticats
HAMILTON — Brandon Bridge kept Dave Watford on the bench and Jeremiah Masoli out of the CFL record book.
Bridge threw a key TD pass and had just one incompletion in an impressive second half as the Saskatchewan Roughriders rallied for a 31-20 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night. After splitting time the previous two weeks with Watford, Bridge kept his teammate on the bench from the second quarter on.
“Obviously when you have a couple of drives then you start to feel it,” said Bridge. “I will definitely say I got into a rhythm.”
Once again Saskatchewan’s game plan was to use both quarterbacks throughout. But head coach Chris Jones said Bridge’s play (17-of-22 passing for 165 yards and a TD) made him change that approach.
