TORONTO — Five trips to the red zone resulted in only one touchdown for the Toronto Argonauts against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday night but that would be enough in a game that was dominated by the defences. Toronto’s defence picked off Trevor Harris twice, holding Saskatchewan to just six second-half points and Lirim Hajrullahu

TORONTO — Janarion Grant is looking to write his name alongside CFL legends. The ace return specialist is one touchdown away from joining the likes of Henry Williams, Chris Williams, Earl Winfield, Bashir Levingston and Keith Stokes with five kick return team majors in a single season.

TORONTO — Wins and losses are often disposable items for coaches and players, but there’s a chance that Week 11  provided each of its winners with the kind of game that can help shape a season. We saw Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton and Winnipeg all go on the road and all come away with big wins.

Partway through Week 11 action over the weekend we officially hit the midway mark of the 2024 CFL season. Last week’s MMQB focused on some of our mid-season observations, which helped pave the way for this week’s main event. It’s time for our 2024 mid-season player awards as this fascinating season continues. RELATED» Bombers spoil

Edmonton was buoyed by four touchdowns

REGINA — A frenetic finish at Mosaic Stadium was a fitting end to a thrilling contest between division leaders Montreal and Saskatchewan.

CALGARY — It’s been a long time coming for Jeremiah Masoli.

A conversation with a team official a few weeks ago has stuck with me as Nathan Rourke‘s NFL options unfolded in front of him. They called Rourke the drop-everything, change-your-plans type of player that could give any franchise in the CFL a decade of stability. A 10-year franchise player, was the phrasing. On Tuesday, the

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks have signed National offensive lineman Jakub Szott and American wide receiver  D’Marcus Adams to the practice roster, the club announced Monday.

Edmonton was able to stay efficient on offence even without starting quarterback Tre Ford, who

MONTREAL — The mark of a championship roster is usually its depth. The Montreal Alouettes continue to showcase why they are the current champions while simultaneously holding the top record in the league by replacing their injured star players with other dynamic playmakers. A Cody Fajardo-less offence lost Tyson Philpot in the first half against

TORONTO — Five days after a fourth-quarter collapse against the Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium, the Toronto Argonauts flipped the script in their Week 10 victory over the Stamps.

OTTAWA — Thursday night’s game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa REDBLACKS was largely a battle in the trenches.
