TORONTO — The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the latest team to see an “X” beside their name in the standings.
With their 41-16 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Friday night, the Riders punched their ticket to the post-season.
The Calgary Stampeders, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Winnipeg Blue Bombers all clinched playoff spots last week.
Later on Friday night, the Montreal Alouettes have a chance to clinch a spot, since the Argos and REDBLACKS lost earlier to start the triple header. That means, if Montreal wins in BC, they’re in.
