CFRA Live – Mid-season slide leaves Redblacks with little room for error down the stretch
Heading into Friday’s game against Saskatchewan, the Ottawa Redblacks were desperately trying to snap a 7-game skid and save their 2023 campaign.

CFRA Live technical producer Stephen Ellsworth explains why the idea of a potential sideline shakeup might make things worse.
