ESKIMOS OVERTAKE GRITTY REDBLACKS, WIN 103RD GREY CUP, THEIR 14TH

At Winnipeg, Manitoba:

Quarterback Mike Reilly threw touchdown passes to Adarius Bowman and Akeem Shavers while Jordan Lynch scored the game-winning major score with 3:22 remaining in regulation on Sunday as the Edmonton Eskimos came back and won the 103rd Grey Cup Final 26-20 over the Ottawa REDBLACKS, ruining the second-year expansion club's bid to win the Capital city's first Canadian Football League crown since 1976, when the old Rough Riders defeated Saskatchewan for the title.

This championship marks the fourteenth such title for the Eskimos.
