Lions play the first of back-to-back games against the Saskatchewan Roughriders next Saturday afternoon (4 p.m. TSN 1040 radio, TSN) in what will be the swan song for old Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. The Riders, more ugly duckling than majestic water fowl, fell to 5-11 after a 19-14 home defeat to the Montreal Alouettes. New Mosaic Stadium, with twice the footprint of the former haunt, welcomes the Riders in 2017.
