A Game With a Personal Edge
Ottawa is no stranger to storylines, but this week's REDBLACKS matchup brings a little extra spice to the sideline. When the team takes the field, one of their coaches will be facing the franchise where he previously built his career — and that kind of reunion rarely goes unnoticed in the CFL.
These are the games that get players fired up in the locker room. When a coach has history with the opposition, the motivation on the sideline tends to run a little deeper than the standings.
What to Watch For
The REDBLACKS have been building momentum through the early stretch of the season, and this matchup offers a chance to make a statement. Ottawa's defence will be key — containing the opposing offence while the REDBLACKS' own unit looks to capitalize on opportunities.
Fans at TD Place know how much atmosphere matters in games like this. With the coach's storyline adding a personal dimension, expect the team to come out with something to prove.
The Bigger Picture
For Ottawa fans, every CFL game carries weight in a division where the margins are razor-thin. A win here could help solidify the REDBLACKS' positioning as the season heats up — and doing it against a club with ties to the coaching staff would make it all the sweeter.
Head to TD Place or tune in to watch Ottawa take the field. Kickoff details and broadcast information are available on the Ottawa REDBLACKS' official website.
