Today, the Roughriders take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Mosaic Stadium for their first home playoff game since 2013. Regina-born defensive tackle Zack Evans was with the Riders for the 2013 Grey Cup win in Regina. He then went on to play for the Ottawa Redblacks before returning to the green and white this season.
