Quick Hits<\/p>\n

Rankin was the story of the game \u2014 196 combined yards from scrimmage (102 rushing, 94 receiving) on just 18 touches; Ottawa simply couldn’t slow him down.<\/p>\n

Neither team turned the ball over \u2014 clean football from both sides, but Edmonton’s 83-yard yardage advantage was the difference.<\/p>\n

Fantasy alert: Rankin’s dual-threat performance makes him an immediate must-start, while Maier’s 22\/37 line suggests Ottawa’s passing game needs to find another gear.<\/p>\n
