Reviewed Last-Second TD Sends Roughriders to Grey Cup Over Lions

Saskatchewan meets Montreal on Nov. 16 after the CFL Command Centre upheld Tommy Nield’s catch on review.

Overview

  • Trailing 21-17 with 1:03 left, Saskatchewan drove 74 yards in seven plays, with Nield catching a three-yard touchdown from Trevor Harris with 11 seconds remaining for a 24-21 win.
  • The scoring play was subject to a lengthy video review and was confirmed by the CFL’s Command Centre.
  • Lions owner Amar Doman publicly disagreed with the ruling, posting "Not a catch" on Instagram in reference to the decisive play.
  • Roughriders coach Corey Mace opted for a late field goal from the B.C. five and later punted on third-and-10, with his defense forcing consecutive two-and-outs to set up the winning drive.
  • Harris threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns as A. J. Ouellette rushed for 113 yards, while B.C.’s Nathan Rourke totaled 290 passing yards with two rushing scores and is a West finalist for Most Outstanding Player as the Lions begin their offseason review.
