The Saskatchewan Roughriders recently won the Canadian Football League's championship, the Grey Cup. This year’s championship game was played in Toronto, Ontario and pit the Roughriders against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Saskatchewan’s defense was the difference in the contest, with defensive back James Johnson’s three interceptions and touchdown making a big impact. Johnson was chosen as the Grey Cup’s Most Valuable Player for his playmaking performance on Canadian Football’s greatest stage. Wide Receiver Andy Fantuz was named Most Valuable Canadian in the game with a 70 receiving yards on four catches to go along with a receiving touchdown. The Saskatchewan Roughriders capped off the season with their 12th win of the year, and most important. Rookie head coach Kent Austin led the team home to Regina where they received a very warm welcome from their fans at Mosaic Stadium.
