‘We Never Flinched’: Late Comeback Punches Roughriders’ Ticket to Grey Cup, Defeat Lions 24-21 in Dramatic West Final
Tommy Nield's last-minute touchdown capped a 74-yard drive, securing Saskatchewan Roughriders' 24-21 win and Grey Cup berth, their first since 2013.
- On Saturday, Tommy Nield, Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver, caught a three-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left to send Saskatchewan to the Grey Cup after a 74-yard drive from their own 34-yard line.
- Corey Mace twice opted for conservative plays late, taking a 13-yard Lauther field goal on third-and-goal from the B.C. five and punting on third-and-10 from his own 36-yard line, trusting the Riders defence to make stops.
- Defences controlled the first half before the sellout crowd of 33,350 at Mosaic Stadium, with 11 combined punts and Trevor Harris finishing 26 of 38 for 305 yards and two touchdowns.
- Next up, Saskatchewan travels to Winnipeg for a Nov. 16 Grey Cup against Montreal Alouettes, ending their 12-year Grey Cup drought since 2013.
- Corey Mace credited the group's belief and practice for the clutch finish, saying late execution reflected season-long preparation while Roughrider players and fans celebrated the Grey Cup return after 12 years.
