The Saskatchewan Roughriders had their record drop to 5 and 5 on the season last night (Fri) after a 28-10 loss to the BC Lions at Mosaic Stadium.
The win was a costly one for the Lions as they lost star Canadian QB Nathan Rourke in the 4th quarter with a foot injury and didn’t return.
Before leaving, he completed 22 of 31 passes for 375 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Lions improved to 8-1 and extended their winning streak to five games.
Saskatchewan QB Cody Fajardo went 8-of-13 passing for 41 yards and two interceptions before Riders head coach Craig Dickenson pulled him in the second quarter.
Fajardo, who has been struggling with a knee injury, was replaced by backup Mason Fine who drove the Riders down the field on his first drive, connecting with Justin McInnis on a four-yard touchdown pass.
The two teams will meet in back end of their home and home series on Friday back in Vancouver
