Tommy Stevens has tied the @sskroughriders' record for rushing touchdowns in a season (16). He shares it with George Reed (1968).
Jameer Thurman has reached 100 defensive tackles this season. @sskroughriders
Further to the previous tweet, or whatever it is called now, Bruce Boyko (a fullback) had two carries for the @sskroughriders in 1996 while wearing No. 15,
Deon Jackson is about to become the first @sskroughriders running back to wear No. 15 in a regular-season game since Willis Jacox in 1992. Ordinarily a receiver and returner, Jacox was used at tailback on occasion due to injuries.
The last time the @sskroughriders travelled for a first-round playoff game (2017 vs. Ottawa), the opposing starting quarterback was ... Trevor Harris!
Robert Holmes played for the @sskroughriders in 1976.
Quirky @sskroughriders stat: The Riders have played first-round @CFL playoff games in three East Division cities, but never in B.C.! That could soon change. Here are the #s dating back to 1954, when the Lions debuted:
Calgary 8
Edmonton 7
Winnipeg 5
Montreal 1
Ottawa 1
Toronto 1

My story on today's 16-12 @sskroughriders victory over Montreal: riderville.com/article/rough…
Until Jose Maltos Diaz missed from 42 yards late in the fourth quarter, @sskroughriders opponents were 46-for-47 on field-goal attempts this season. The only previous miss was by Toronto’s Brady Lidster on Aug. 29 at Mosaic Stadium. Lidster's kick was blocked by Mike Rose.
With today's victory over Montreal, the @sskroughriders have now defeated every rival CFL team at least once this season.
Jameer Thurman has tied his career high for defensive tackles (97). @sskroughriders
Brett Lauther just kicked his 300th field goal as a member of the @sskroughriders.
574 — Dave Ridgway
