The Edmonton Eskimos know they will have to channel their inner road warrior if they hope to go anywhere in the playoffs. A 27-19 win by the Saskatchewan Roughriders over the B.C. Lions during the Eskimos’ bye last week plotted Edmonton’s path to the Grey Cup through the East Division, beginning with a stop in Montreal to face the Alouettes in the semifinal round Nov. 10. And while their playoff position is sealed, the Eskimos still have a matter to tend to back home, where they will be facing Saskatchewan on Saturday (5 p.m., TSN, 630 CHED) in their final game at Commonwealth Stadium, where they have gone 5-3 on the season so far. “So hopefully we finish the season strong here at home.”Email: gmoddejonge@postmedia.comOn Twitter: @GerryModdejonge
