Riders comeback falls short, lose to Calgary 23-17
The Saskatchewan Roughriders fourth-quarter comeback came up short losing 23-17 in their first of three consecutive meetings with the Calgary Stampeders.
It was a game of Jekyll and Hyde for the Riders, showing two completely sides of their offence in the first half compared to the second.
Riders quarterback Cody Fajardo says they simply weren’t good enough to get the job done.
“It’s unfortunate it didn’t go our way, I thought we got in a good groove there in the second half moving the ball and completed some balls down the field. But offensively speaking we were just not in it today, we had a lot of mistakes that cost us pretty dearly in the game,” Fajardo said. “I like to stay positive but this one’s been tough, very tough.”
