Mike Reilly tosses three touchdowns, Eskimos beat Stampeders 29-20
EDMONTON — Quick strike passes produced the points but it was one of Edmonton’s most balanced offensive showings of the season that carried the Eskimos to a vital 29-20 victory over the Calgary Stampeders Saturday.
“I think it probably was,” quarterback Mike Reilly said of the balanced attack. “Thinking about guys who made plays. C.J. (Gable) had a great night in the run game. I was able to run the ball a fair amount. I know Adarius (Bowman) came up huge with some big-time catches. I know (Brandon) Zylstra did as well. I know DW (Derel Walker) had a great catch down the field to set us up for a touchdown. Everybody was pitching in tonight and that was great to see.
“It’s going to take all of us. This late in the year if you’re relying on one guy to make plays you’re going to get stuffed by a great defence and that was a great defence we played tonight. The only way to have success against them is to spread the ball around.”
Reilly did just that.
