CFL Update For October 22nd

     

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 17  Saskatchewan Rough Riders 16  - The Blue Bombers needed to win against the Rough Riders, who were playing in a game that largely meant nothing to them. Ultimately, Winnipeg did win, albeit very narrowly, by a single point. But the Bombers won, and have now officially clinched a playoff spot.

Calgary Stampeders 44 Toronto Argonauts 13 - Like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the Stampeders also clinched a playoff spot officially. Unlike Winnipeg, Calgary absolutely dominated their game. Indeed, the Stampeders made short work of Argonauts, leaving no doubts. Calgary punches their ticket to the playoffs after this impressive win.

British Columbia Lions 37, Edmonton Elks 24 -  - The Elks were in last place in the West Division all season, yet they still had slim and flickering hopes for the playoffs entering this one. However, the Lions were able to defeat the Elks, who will finish in the cellar in the West Division. Meanwhile, the BC Lions will start getting ready for the postseason.

Montreal Alouettes 39, Ottawa Renegades 28 - The Alouettes absolutely needed to win in order to keep their hopes of catching Hamilton to win the East Division alive. And they took care of business on the road in Ottawa. The Alouettes already clinched a playoff berth, but they now head to Hamilton in a winner takes all showdown against the Tiger-Cats. Should be interesting.
