The National Rundown Ep. 19 | BC Surges, Saskatchewan Slips & CFL Playoff Questions Grow

The CFL playoff picture is getting clearer — but the list of teams we actually trust heading into November might be getting more complicated. On Episode 19 of *The National Rundown*, the guys recap another pivotal week. Toronto escaped Winnipeg with another gritty victory, further strengthening its position in the East. But with Dru Brown making costly fourth-quarter mistakes and Zach Collaros on the six-game injured list, how much can the Bombers be trusted down the stretch? And despite Chad Kelly’s aggressive style and Toronto’s continued lack of a consistent run game, why does this Argos team still feel so dependable? Out West, BC continues to build serious momentum. Nathan Rourke threw for 375 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions against Saskatchewan as the Lions strengthened their grip on second place. Meanwhile, the Roughriders have now dropped consecutive games — even with several important pieces returning. Is it time for concern in Saskatchewan? Calgary took care of the games it needed to win, but now the real test begins. With Saskatchewan, Winnipeg and BC remaining, the Stampeders have a chance to prove whether their recent offensive surge is sustainable — especially with questions remaining defensively. And in Edmonton, the Elks survived Hamilton in overtime behind a CFL-record nine field goals from Vincent Blanchard. Edmonton remains atop the West, but after another uneven offensive performance, is coasting toward the playoffs becoming a concern? Finally, the guys step back and look at the biggest questions heading toward November: Is BC peaking at exactly the right time? Will Edmonton rediscover its best form when the games matter most? And has Toronto suddenly made the East crossover path much less appealing?
