Attendance: 24893
Roughriders 18, Redblacks 17: Kevin Glenn threw for 252 yards and Josh Bartel kicked the go-ahead rouge with 2:12 remaining in the fourth quarter as visiting Saskatchewan scored the final 18 points to beat Ottawa.

Christion Jones started the comeback with a 97-yard punt-return touchdown for the Roughriders (7-6), who trailed 17-0 late in the third quarter. Glenn completed 20-of-32 passes and Kienan Lafrance rushed for a score as Saskatchewan pulled even with Edmonton for third place in the West Division.

William Powell set a franchise single-game record with 187 rushing yards for the Redblacks (5-9-1), who have dropped five games by three points or fewer this season. Ryan Lindley was 17-of-31 for 164 yards and a touchdown toss to Greg Ellingson while also running for a score for Ottawa, which has lost three of its last four contests.

Jonathan Rose intercepted a pass by Glenn in his own end zone and Ottawa marched down the field on a 10-play drive, which culminated in a 22-yard field goal by Brett Maher that created a 3-0 lead after one quarter. Lindley threw an 18-yard touchdown strike to Ellingson and Powell rushed for the 2-point conversion to put the Redblacks on top 11-0 at halftime.

Lindley called his own number from 1 yard out to stretch Ottawa's advantage to 17 points before Jones got Saskatchewan on the board with 3:26 remaining in the third quarter. Lafrance rushed for a 6-yard touchdown and Tyler Crapigna converted a 16-yard kick to even the game at 17 before Bartel's 43-yard punt pinned Quincy McDuffie into the end zone to help bolster the Roughriders' playoff hopes.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Glenn became the ninth quarterback in CFL history to register 100 wins in his career. … Powell is the first Ottawa running back to record three straight 100-yard performances since 2003. … Saskatchewan RB Trent Richardson, who was signed earlier in the week, did not play as he was tending to a personal matter in Florida. … Roughriders WR Duron Carter hauled in five passes for 89 yards.
