Week 18 brought the heat with four entertaining games, a playoff-clinching Esks win and the usual social media goodies.
Veteran S.J. Green eclipsed the 10,000-yard career receiving mark, and names from the CFL’s past and present chimed in to pay tribute on social.

The absolute best viewing was Willie Jefferson, who a) helped his daughter play in the snow without leaving the house; and b) paid tribute to his daughter’s cute dance on the field Saturday.
Willie legit just made Kelley’s whole night 🤗🥰🤣😂 Watch her dance moves at the end she is so happy!!!
It’s snowing outside really bad and Kelley doesn’t like it but she wants to play in the snow so Willie brought in snow for her to play with 🤗🥰#DadOfTheYear pic.twitter.com/PON3O2QK9f— Holly Jefferson (@HeyHeyHollyJ) October 12, 2019
The sack dance runs in the Jefferson family. #ForTheW pic.twitter.com/rBfnUMw5E5

You love to see it!
Week 18 wrapped up with Edmonton’s 19-6 win over BC, which clinched the Esks the final berth in the Shaw #RoadtotheGreyCup playoffs. The post-game scene from the locker room: Defiant.

Notice Natey Adjei with the CFL Simulation up on his phone? Priceless.
A quick check-in on Riderville over in (on top of?) Tanzania:
Taking that #RiderPride all the way to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro!
