The last time the @sskroughriders travelled for a first-round playoff game (2017 vs. Ottawa), the opposing starting quarterback was ... Trevor Harris!

October 19, 1969

The longest offensive play of the 1969 AFL season

The Chiefs' Mike Livingston connects on a long gainer to Otis Taylor, who laterals to Robert Holmes to take it the rest of the way.

93 yards in all for the eventual Super Bowl IV champs

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: https://t.co/ik1hL6HsPj

[Rob Vanstone @robvanstone]

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.
