REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders started their 2025 campaign with a win, defeating the Ottawa REDBLACKS on Thursday night in the first game of the 2025 CFL season.

Saskatchewan’s offence, defence, and special teams contributed to the victory with Samuel Emilus‘ sure hands through the air and fill-in running back Thomas Bertrand-Hudon carrying the rock admirably in place of AJ Ouellette.

And don’t forget about Jameer Thurman, who took no time into the brand new season to remind everyone he’s one of the best to patrol the middle of a defence in the CFL.
