Edmonton Eskimos' players lay exhausted on the field with Saskatchewan Roughriders' Cory Grant (#2) pausing after being defeated by the Eskimos 30-25 Saturday night in Regina at Taylor Field. The last few seconds of the game had the Roughriders playing a huge passing and lateral spectacle which took the Riders from the Eskimos 53-yard line to the 4-yard line. Had Rider Kenton Keith not fumbled to Eskimos' Jonte Buhl on the four-yard line the Riders may have defeated the Eskimos in the last few seconds of the game. Edmonton Sun / Ryan Jackson
