Riders Square Off Against Stampeders in Important Divisional Game for Both Teams
Johnson needs five catches in four games to join four other Riders in the club’s 100-reception season list.
- On Friday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders host the Calgary Stampeders, offering receiver KeeSean Johnson a chance to reach 100 receptions. Johnson needs just five catches to join an exclusive club of four players in franchise history.
- Injuries throughout the receiving corps forced the Riders to rely heavily on Johnson this season. With rookie Daniel Wiebe and Shemar Bridges sidelined, the team turned to the 31-year-old to anchor the passing attack.
- "Reliability and availability, it's crucial," Riders coach Corey Mace said. Johnson has appeared in all 14 games and is pacing toward 122 catches, right behind Narcisse's team record.
- Following two consecutive losses, the Riders aim to improve red-zone efficiency against Calgary. "We've got to emphasize getting in the end zone and scoring more touchdowns," Johnson said.
- A victory would allow Saskatchewan to sweep the season series 2-0 against the Stampeders. Conversely, a loss by four or more points would give Calgary the tiebreaker if both teams finish with identical records.
