The Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/a> are 8-1 and get a chance to get a measure of revenge against the only team to beat them thus far in 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n

For a Week 12 CFL matchup, the Riders head to Calgary to take on the Stampeders on Saturday at McMahon Stadium.<\/p>\n

Calgary came into Regina and handled the Riders 24-10<\/a> after a smoke delay forced the game to be moved to the next day.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since then, the Riders haven\u2019t lost a game, which has included big wins over the Montreal Alouettes and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.<\/a><\/p>\n

There has been plenty of intrigue in Saskatchewan as the kicking game with Brett Lauther has continued to struggle<\/a>, only hitting 66.7 per cent of his kicks.<\/p>\n

So this week, the Riders signed kicker Campbell Fair<\/a> to a contract to bring in some competition at the position.<\/p>\n

Jamie Nye and Britton Gray discuss the kicker position, preview the contest between the Riders and the Stamps, give out their midseason grades for Saskatchewan and take a look at all the other news in the CFL.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A lot can change over the course of the season, and it can be hard to keep up. The Blitz: The Podcast gives you an in-depth look at the Riders as the entire season unfolds.<\/p>\n
