Lynch’s late touchdown leads Eskimos to Grey Cup

He picked the ideal time to finally get a couple correct.

The Esks are back in the Grey Cup for the first time since 2005, trying to win a 14th title for the storied franchise against the 12-6 Redblacks, who are in their second season.

The Grey Cup game is indeed a matchup of the best teams in the East and West Divisions.

Late in the first half, Reilly connected with Akeem Shavers for another Edmonton touchdown. That result of the call, gave the Eskimos the ball at the Redblacks’ 10-yard line.

“We definitely got to rally, you just look at Ellingson’s play one broken tackle got them to the Grey Cup”, Sherritt said.

“These guys, they rejuvenated my whole career”, said the seven-year veteran, who’s been good on 24 of 26 field-goal attempts. And if it is, then we need to throw a flag.

The Redblacks scored two quick touchdowns on their opening two drives to start the game and held a 13-10 lead following the first quarter.

The Eskimos had the league’s top ranked defense this past season with the RedBlacks right behind them but the 103rd Grey Cup may very well come down to the play of the two quarterbacks. “It doesn’t matter what colours you’re wearing, at Grey Cup it’s one big family”.

Not long after being crowned champions, Mike Reilly is awarded the MVP of the game, Shamawd Chambers is named the Most Valuable Canadian, and Jeffrey Orridge presents the precious Grey Cup to the Edmonton Eskimos. Because we were not built to do this once. “So it’s not like we take them out of the box”.

The Eskimos were down 19-18 going into the fourth, which means their victory Sunday night improved their record to an impressive 7-3 this season when trailing going into the final frame.

“Edmonton felt that it was a competitive disadvantage for them and their team, and essentially protested and the league had to concede”, Jeff Hunt, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group’s manager of sports, told CTV Ottawa.

“I’m recovered now and ready to lose it again”, he said, adding he expected Sunday’s nights championship to be a nail-biting, low-scoring game. The Eskimos finished second in rushing yards allowed (77), red zone defense (52.4%), and takeaways (49). The officials will test the balls before the game to make sure they are up to standard.

Adarius Bowman and Shavers scored Edmonton’s touchdowns.

On the season, Lynch was 3 for 4 passing with 14 yards and a touchdown and had 40 rushes for 156 yards and five touchdowns. “It has just been tremendous this year, and I’m blessed and thankful to be here and be part of this organization and to help them get as far as we got this year”. “It hurts a lot”. Reilly also led the Eskimos in rushing with 66 yards. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are believed to be interested in him for their vacant general manager and head coaching positions, and Jones didn’t exactly announce after the game that he’s staying put. I never hate coming to work or be like, “Ohhhh, I” have to go to practice today, I’m exhausted’.
