Saskatchewan Roughriders clinch playoff spot

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have clinched a playoff spot, according to the CFL.

This is the second consecutive season the Roughriders (10-5) have made it to the post-season.

The Riders’ 19-12 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Monday put them in a position to lock up the host spot in the Western semi-final. The Riders can clinch a home playoff berth with a win and a BC Lions loss.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Ottawa Redblacks also recently punched their tickets to the playoffs, joining the Calgary Stampeders last week.
