The Ottawa Redblacks have struggled mightily during the last three seasons, posting a combined record of 10-40. The Redblacks finished 0-9 at home this season and have won only one of their last 25 home games.

The Redblacks coaching staff will look a lot different t ..read more

Interim head coach Bob Dyce got his first win in charge of the Ottawa Redblacks, defeating the Montreal Alouettes 24-18 to keep the Redblacks’ slim playoff hopes alive while simultaneously preventing the Alouettes from clinching a playoff spot of their own. Redblacks’ quarterback Nick Arbuckle was extremely efficient in the win, completing 28/32 of his passes for 229 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. He moved the ball downfield efficiently, made smart decisions throwing the football, did not rush his reads, and was patient in the pocket. He climbed up the pocket or rolled out to avoi ..read more

The Ottawa Redblacks get their first win in Toronto since July 13, 2016, after defeating a very talented Toronto Argonauts’ squad by a score of 23-13 to improve to 1-6 on the season.

A must-win game for two talented East Division teams who have yet to taste victory this season was exciting from start to finish and delivered multiple explosive plays, several lead changes, a handful of turnovers, a game-winning drive, and even came down to a last-second field goal.  Unfortunately, a 54-yard game-winning field goal from Lewis Ward fell less than one yard short and the Tiger-Cats got their first win after a near-flawless game-winning drive to come back from a five-point deficit with just over one minute remaining.  The Redblacks fall to 0-5 despite a solid performanc ..read more

The Redblacks have seen significant improvement on offense and defense compared to last sea ..read more

After a disappointing season in 2021, finishing with a record of 3-11, the Ottawa Redblacks showed glimpses of how good they can be in 2022 with a thrilling 23-17 comeback win over the Toronto Argonauts in their preseason opener. The first half was a low-scoring, back and forth, grueling defensive battle as both offenses were trying to figure out their opponents’ defensive schemes while trying to work out the kinks in their own playbook after a shortened training camp as a result of ongoing CBA negotiations.  The only point in the first quarter came from a punt by Redblacks’ punter Jose M ..read more

The Redblacks made many improvements in free agency this season, especially at quarterback offensive line, and wide receiver their three biggest needs.  Most notably, they signed former Hamilton Tiger Cats’ quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who won the CFL East Division Most Outstanding Player in 2018 and is the type of player who has a ton of upside, potential and both his teammates and coaches love his hard work, passion, and dedication to the game. In addition, they’ve bolstered their wide receiving core by bringing back R.J Harris and adding a trio of talented receivers each with different ..read more
