Which touchdown celebration was best through Week 15?

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are champions once again.

58 per cent of you liked the Riders’ stair climb better than the Montreal Alouettes’ Thriller dance last week.

This week, the Riders will go head-to-head against the Ottawa REDBLACKS and their recreation of an iconic Charlie Brown scene.

First, let’s get a quick reminder of Saskatchewan’s stroll up the stairs.

With just over a minute left in the second quarter, Bombers QB Matt Nichols scrambled in the pocket looking for someone to pass the ball to on the Riders seven yard line. He ended up finding a pair of gloves to pass the ball to, but it wasn’t one of his teammates.

The ball popped out of Nichols’ hands and right into Riders linebacker Sam Eguavoen’s mitts. Eguavoen ran down the field and into the end zone fore the 103-yard score to give Saskatchewan a 20-17 lead.

The last few weeks, the Bombers have been walking up the stairs to celebrate with their fans so the Riders decided, why don’t we do the same? So funny.

Something tells me Bombers fans weren’t too happy about it!

And now for the REDBLACKS.

There was 3:50 seconds left in the fourth quarter and Ottawa was ahead of Edmonton by just three points. On the Eskimos five yard line, Trevor Harris passed to Greg Ellingson who plunged into the end zone with a defender draped all over him.

Then the offence gets together to recreate one of the most iconic Charlie Brown scenes and brought me right back to my childhood watching reruns of the classic.

Trevor Harris plays Lucy and Greg Ellingson plays Charlie Brown as they play out this scene. Even Brad Sinopoli and William Powell get together to pretend to be the goal posts. So good. So. Good.
