Veteran Burris to lead Redblacks into crucial contest against Tiger-Cats
It’s Henry Burris’s time with the Ottawa Redblacks — again.
The CFL’s outstanding player last season will lead Ottawa into its crucial home-and-home series with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night. The Redblacks will visit Tim Hortons Field before the two teams return to the Canadian capital next weekend.
Ottawa (6-7-1) leads the East Division standings by just one point over Hamilton (6-8-0) heading into the back-to-back games. The first-place finisher will secure home-field advantage for the East Division final Nov. 20.
The second-place finisher will have to play an extra playoff game, hosting the East semifinal Nov. 13.
