Saskatchewan finds pay dirt late, clinching postseason berth with 16-12 win

Oct 17, 2026 | 5:09 PM

The Saskatchewan Roughriders found the end zone on their final offensive drive of the game to punch their ticket to the postseason on Saturday.

Saskatchewan drove 74 yards with a clutch third-down catch from KeeSean Johnson, a 22-yard rush from quarterback Trevor Harris and finally a touchdown pass between those two as Saskatchewan defeated the Montreal Alouettes 16-12 at Mosaic Stadium.

Quarterback Trevor Harris finished the game with 251 yards, a touchdown and one interception. Johnson finished the game with a game-high 85 yards,

Kian Schaffer-Baker had 45 yards in the game, which puts him at 1,006 yards this season — the first time he has crossed 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

Saskatchewan’s rushing defence, which was one of their strengths all season, did surrender 109 yards to Montreal backup running back Shomari Lawrence.

Where Saskatchewan will play in the postseason remains to be determined. There are multiple scenarios that can still take place depending on the Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions game later on Saturday and then the games next weekend.
