Jackson, Wilder run wild as Toronto Argonauts hand Esks fifth straight loss
TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts extended the Edmonton Eskimos’ misery Saturday, riding a big man and several big plays to a 34-26 victory.
James Wilder Jr., ran 11 times for 190 yards and one touchdown, collecting 67 more yards on seven passes. Martese Jackson returned a missed field goal for a 125-yard touchdown. And Matt Black, doing his best Undertaker imitation, buried Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly on a blitz that ended a late Edmonton comeback.
The Eskimos scored 11 unanswered points late in the fourth — and had a TD called back — to make it interesting.
“We’re involved in a major transformation of trying to find out who we are as a team,” said Toronto coach Marc Trestman. “We found a little bit more out tonight.”
