Friday | Ottawa at Edmonton
Former Esk Joe Anoai — better-known as WWE superstar Roman Reigns — was in the house at Commonwealth for Friday Night Football.
Things got heated between the Esks and REDBLACKS in a smashmouth 16-12 contest, and players didn’t hold back post-game.
Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.

“Whoever they are that lines up against us we’re going to fight ’em. They wanted a dog fight and they got one.”

Nice guy of the week award: Third-string Ottawa QB Will Arndt, who stuck around after the loss to play catch with young Edmonton fans.
Thanks Will for taking the time making my sons night! Something he will never forget, playing catch with a CFL QB. @Arndt02 @REDBLACKS #RNation #LetErRip pic.twitter.com/sEHH7Tcpkl

An incredible comeback against all odds for the Ticats, who blew the imaginary roof off Tim Hortons Field with a go-ahead Brandon Banks TD late.

The Ticats’ social channels got creative following the win in the Battle of the Cats.
And special teams coordinator Jeff Reinebold provided us with another reminder: Football is family.
