HAMILTON \u2014 It might not have been the way head coach Scott Milanovich drew it up, but the Hamilton Tiger-Cats came through late to earn a 26-19 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday at Hamilton Stadium.<\/p>\n

Both Ticats quarterbacks were efficient, but Tre Ford<\/a> took over after entering in the third quarter, sparking a run of 16 unanswered points to help Hamilton snap its three-game skid and improve to 4-6.<\/p>\n

Missing key offensive weapons, Saskatchewan fell to 6-3, dropping its first road game of the season and its first head-to-head against Hamilton since 2023.<\/p>\n

93 \u2013 YARDS ON HAMILTON GO-AHEAD DRIVE<\/p>\n

Tre Ford<\/a> sparked Hamilton\u2019s rally, but it didn\u2019t start that way. After taking over in the third quarter, Ford\u2019s first series ended with him being stopped short on a gutsy third-down run, allowing Saskatchewan to extend its lead to nine points. Ford responded in the fourth with a 93-yard drive that gave Hamilton the lead for good. The quarterback known for his elusive scrambling showed off his arm on the march, completing six straight passes, including a 41-yard strike to an outstretched Keric Wheatfall<\/a> for the touchdown.<\/p>\n

Taking the lead emphatically put the pressure back on Trevor Harris<\/a> and the Riders\u2019 offence, forcing them to answer, and Hamilton\u2019s defence took advantage of the desperation that followed.<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 SASKATCHEWAN FOURTH-QUARTER FIRST DOWNS<\/p>\n

While Ford was cooking in the fourth, the yards weren\u2019t coming nearly as easily for Saskatchewan. As the Riders watched their lead slip away, Harris and company failed to gain a single first down on four possessions in the final frame. Philip Ossai<\/a> set the tone early by tracking down Harris for a sack, while Reggie Stubblefield<\/a> sealed the victory with an interception on Saskatchewan\u2019s final possession.<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 ROUGHRIDERS PLAYS OF 30+ YARDS<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan entered the game with the second-fewest big plays in the CFL, and that weakness was magnified without playmakers Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a>, Samuel Emilus<\/a> and AJ Ouellette. With Harris working to build chemistry with a fresh-faced group of receivers, the Riders couldn\u2019t generate a single big play, defined as a pass of 30-plus yards or a rush of 20-plus. Their longest gain was Harris\u2019 21-yard touchdown pass to Johnny Johnson III, and the lack of explosive plays contributed to a series of stalled drives. Saskatchewan settled for four field goals, including one on its only true trip to the red zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner, World Vision Canada works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":859854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-859853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/859853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=859853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/859853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/859854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=859853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=859853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=859853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
