One more thing, it should be known that Edmonton gave up on this game, in the third quarter, only down three scores, when they took the time count penalty before giving up the safety. Giving up two points for 20ish yards, when you're already behind by that amount is crazy. The only logical explanation for that play call is that they didn't care any more.
They sort of made an effort after that to LOOK like they were trying to win the game (on side kick after their touchdown, keeping Ray in the game, etc), but they weren't. They had to get a quick score, but didn't even attempt to get one.
It's shameful to the Esks that their coaches gave up so early in the game.
