Redblacks hoping first victory of CFL season will come against Lions
Jake Maier is trying to avoid an 11th straight loss as Ottawa seeks its first win and B.C. brings a four-game streak.
- The Ottawa Redblacks seek their first victory of the season tonight at TD Place Stadium against the B.C. Lions in a Sunday matchup with significant implications for both teams.
- Earlier this week, the Redblacks fired vice-president of football operations Shawn Burke and announced the hiring of Jim Popp as a senior football adviser, signaling organizational restructuring amid the winless season.
- Quarterback Jake Maier averages 7.5 yards per attempt, ranked last among CFL starters, while Ottawa's defence surrenders 435.8 net yards per game and allows opponents to convert 56.7 per cent of second-down opportunities.
- B.C. enters on a four-game winning streak following a 30-16 victory over Saskatchewan Roughriders, with quarterback Nathan Rourke throwing over 300 yards in three consecutive games and receiver Justin McInnis reaching his 300th career reception.
- A loss tonight would place Maier on the wrong side of history; no CFL quarterback has ever lost 11 consecutive starts to begin a season, a record he is positioned to set.
