The Edmonton Elks continue to struggle as they remain winless after a close 37-34 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday.
Despite a strong start, the Elks were unable to maintain their lead as the Redblacks fought back with a strong offensive performance. The game was neck and neck throughout, with both teams trading touchdowns and field goals.
The Elks’ quarterback Trevor Harris had a solid performance, throwing for 398 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was not enough to secure a win for the team.
The Redblacks’ quarterback Dominique Davis also had a strong showing, throwing for 354 yards and three touchdowns. His performance, along with a strong defensive effort, helped the Redblacks secure their first win of the season.
The Elks’ head coach, Jaime Elizondo, expressed disappointment in the team’s performance, stating that they need to do a better job of finishing games.
“We had a good start, but we need to be able to close out games and finish strong,” Elizondo said in a post-game interview.
The Elks will have a chance to turn their season around as they face the Toronto Argonauts next week. However, they will need to make some adjustments and improve their overall performance if they hope to secure their first win of the season.
Despite the loss, the Elks remain optimistic and determined to turn their season around. They have a talented roster and are confident that they can bounce back from this tough start.
The Redblacks, on the other hand, will look to build on this win and continue their momentum as they face the Montreal Alouettes next week.
It was a hard-fought game between two determined teams, but in the end, the Redblacks came out on top. The Elks will need to regroup and come back stronger in their next game if they hope to secure their first win of the season.
