The CFL-leading Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-1) return from their bye week on Saturday afternoon when the Green and White host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Mosaic Stadium.
Hamilton (6-3) looks to rebound from their 41-38 Week 10 overtime loss to B.C. That snapped the Ticats six-game winning streak. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell views his team's game against the Riders as an opportunity to bounce back.
“The thought process is you took a punch, get back up and let's go face somebody bigger. We want Sask and we are ready for them.”
The 35-year-old Mitchell has completed 69 percent of his passes for 2,856 yards with 21 touchdowns against three interceptions in nine starts this season. His teammate, defensive back DaShaun Amos is ready to get back in the win column.
“It's a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth right now. We expect to win every game and that's our standard. We're not going to discount what we did. So we're disappointed, but we're also going to all go home, look in the mirror, look at the film, get better, and be ready to play the top team in the league.”
Tickets are moving quickly for Saturday’s game between the Tiger-Cats and Riders.
The 620 CKRM Rider Broadcast Network Countdown to Kick-off pre-game show starts at 10 a.m. with Justin Dunk, Teagan Witko and Wes Cates.
