Riders running back Jamal Morrow said he feels well-rested after the bye week and the team is focused on breaking its losing streak at home.

Marshall's end-zone interception seals Roughriders' OT win over Stampeders.'I think they're a much better team than 0-4.' That defensive line is good and they run to the football, so it's going to be a tough game and our guys know it,' Dickenson said. The Riders beat the Elks in Edmonton 17-13 at the season opener, but Dickenson said he doesn't think Edmonton is as bad as their record would indicate. The team's last win on home turf was in 2019. The team then lost six home games in a row last season, and lost its home opener for this season against Winnipeg on June 16, 2023.īut the Roughriders cold streak at home doesn't seem so bad when compared to the Elks, who have lost 19 consecutive home games at Commonwealth Stadium - a CFL record. The game ended in controversy, with Redblacks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli suffering a season-ending injury after a low hit from Roughriders defensive lineman Garrett Marino. In 2022, the team started 3-0 at home after beating the Ottawa Redblacks 28-13 in front of more than 26,000 fans. 'For the veteran guys, they know it's been a while and there's really nothing like walking off that field victorious.' I mean they know it's a big game,' said head coach Craig Dickenson on Wednesday. 'I haven't specifically mentioned how long it's been because I don't want to put pressure on the guys. It's been 363 days since Rider fans and players celebrated a win at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Sask. The team is hoping to break that losing streak as the 2-1 Roughriders host the 0-4 Edmonton Elks at 7 p.m. On Thursday night, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping to give their fans something they have not seen in nearly a year - a regular season win at home.
