EDMONTON – The ordeal for the Edmonton Elix is over.
After a 22-game losing streak at home, the Elks (2-9) took advantage of a weak Ottawa Redblacks (3-10) to win 30-20 and end their disastrous streak. It was the worst home losing streak in North American sports history.
The Elks haven’t won a home game since October 2019. In fact, this is the first time the team has won a home game since changing its name to the Elks.
“We did what we had to do, even if it wasn’t necessarily pretty,” said Chris Jones, the Elks’ head coach. We did the right things to win this football match. »
Thus, the Alex achieved its second successive victory this season, after winning the first confrontation ten days ago.
Former Alouettes Eugene Lewis finished the game with 112 yards and three receptions, including one for 66 yards, as well as scoring a touchdown. Tre Ford and Taylor Cornelius also reached the end zone by running for a touchdown.
“It sure was a long time ago,” Ford said. We deserved this victory. I think we did a good offensive game. »
In the Rouge et Noir camp, Devonte Williams and Tyrell Pigrome each scored a goal.
