Saskatchewan ended the Canadian Football League's longest championship drought with a 23-19 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 95th Grey Cup at Rogers Centre. The Roughriders had not won a title since 1989, and had lost in 13 of their 15 all-time appearances. [22]

An interception by defensive back James Johnson with 54 seconds left in the fourth quarter sealed the victory. It also earned Johnson a place in CFL history - because he became the first player to intercept three passes in a Grey Cup game, and also because he was named the game's MVP. [22] Roughriders receiver Andy Fantuz was named the game's Most Outstanding Canadian. The 23-year-old caught four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. [22]
