Riders hit bye week undefeated, eyeing rest and recovery
The Saskatchewan Roughriders improved to 4-0 with a convincing 37-18 win over the B.C. Lions on Saturday. While the scoreboard showed dominance, players said there’s still plenty of work to do as they head into the bye week.
“It was a decent night,” said defensive back Rolan Milligan after the game.
“I was really trying to stay in the flow. Even on the interception, A.J. (Allen) made a great play for me to get the ball, but i think we still could have been better as a team. Even though we did have a dominant win, it was just the penalties kind of killed us again this game, just like they did last game. But always happy to get another dub (win).”
The Riders committed 10 penalties this week after 18 infractions last time out against Toronto Argonauts.
