EDMONTON – It's gut-check time for the Edmonton Elks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
EDMONTON \u2013 It\u2019s gut-check time for the Edmonton Elks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After an impressive 6-1 start to the CFL season that had the team atop the West Division, the Elks are coming off two straight losses that dropped them into second place behind the Saskatchewan Roughriders.<\/p>\n
Trying to get back into the playoffs the first time since 2019, the Elks (6-3) look to return to the winning side Saturday when they host the Toronto Argonauts (4-4).<\/p>\n
It will be an angry group of defensive players waiting for quarterback Chad Kelly and the Argos.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m (ticked off) this week,\u201d said defensive back Joel Dublanko. \u201cI\u2019m pretty frustrated. We take pride in the style of ball we play, pride ourselves in how we play defence and we let 50 (points) on the board. I know a lot of people are mad, but nobody\u2019s panicking or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t quite 50 points, but 48 that Edmonton gave up in their 48-30 loss last weekend to the Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n
The Elks are upset with the performance and eager to show they\u2019re still among the top teams in the league.<\/p>\n
