EDMONTON — Only in the CFL could the coach and players of a 1-9 team be talking about how their next three games might put them into the playoff mix. But that’s the reality of a league where only three out of nine teams don’t make the playoffs.
EDMONTON — Only in the CFL could the coach and players of a 1-9 team be talking about how their next three games might put them into the playoff mix.The Elks won their first game of the season last week in Hamilton and will try to break a 22-game home losing streak this Sunday when they face the 3-7 Ottawa Redblacks.
“All of them have three wins, and we’ve got one,” added Elks general manager and coach Chris Jones. “They’re the closest for us to get where we want to go, which would be to shock everybody and get in the playoffs. That’s what we’ve used as motivation to continue to fight.” He’s got 110 yards rushing over two games, changing the way defences rush the passer as they have to worry about him getting outside the tackles.
Quarterback Dustin Crum leads the team with 422 yards on the ground, and Devonte Williams and Jackson Bennett each average better than 4.5 yards per carry.
