With Edmonton dispatched, Redblacks move closer to dispelling ghosts of 2015
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks believe last year’s Grey Cup loss will serve them well as they look for a different result against the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday.
The Redblacks, making their second straight appearance in the CFL championship game, lost 26-20 to the Edmonton Eskimos last season and for many the sting remains.
Beating the Eskimos 35-23 in the East Division final was the first step in retribution, but the Redblacks still have some unfinished work.
“This year is a little different as we understand what the end goal is,” said wide receiver Brad Sinopoli. “As great as it was to win here, we have bigger things in mind. Let’s just say we’re focused. We’re excited, but we’re really focused.”
