After 21 weeks, the CFL regular season has come to an end and it's time for the playoffs.
But before previewing the division semi-finals, let's look back at week 21 of the regular season:
- In a game that featured nearly 1,100 yards of total offence, the Ottawa Redblacks beat the Hamilton TigerCats in a shootout, 37-31;
- What a fourth quarter for the Edmonton Elks as they scored 21 points in the fourth quarter alone to force overtime against Toronto. But in this weekÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s edition of rules in the CFL that donÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t make sense, Edmonton won in overtime on a walkoff punt for a rogue, winning 31-30;
- There was a Grey Cup preview in Montreal on the final weekend of the regular season, and the game didnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t disappoint. Down 27-25, Winnipeg missed a field goal with 1:06 to go in the game, right at the exact time that a crazy windstorm blew into Montreal. At this point, it looked like it was over, but after a two and out for Montreal, punter Joe Zema miskicked a punt that bounced out of bounds and went just 21 yards, which set up Winnipeg to drill a 51-yard field goal to win it, 28-27;
- And Calgary ended their season with a win over Saskatchewan 27-12.
As for us, Jordy went 0-3, making our season-long competition come down to the wire but Bowen went 2-3, falling just short. Jordy finished with a record of 34/63 on the year while Bowen went 33/63. Bowen won the head-to-head match-up, but Jordy won the season, 11-9 plus a tie.
