Wakefield wants to see Redblacks adopt road warrior mentality in 2025 CFL season
Michael Wakefield wants the Ottawa Redblacks to adopt a road-warrior mentality in 2025.
Ottawa boasted the CFL’s best home record last year at 7-1-1 but was 2-7-0 away from TD Place. That left Ottawa third in the East Division, one point behind Toronto and although the Redblacks earned their first playoff berth since 2018, they lost 58-38 to the Argonauts at BMO Field in the conference semifinal.
One more road victory would’ve given Ottawa second and home field for that game.
