Ottawa's defense looked good opening week against a strong Calgary offense. Now the Redblacks step way down in class facing a Roughriders offense that is already down to their backup quarterbacks.

Zach Collaros was injured in Saskatchewan's opening game and is out. The Roughriders' offense turned limited once Collaros departed. The Roughriders put up just 17 points on Hamilton and now have to play on the road a second straight week. So expect a conservative game plan.
