The second-year Ottawa Redblacks kicker booted four field goals, including one from 56 yards out, in a 33-12 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The 56-yarder broke the record as the longest field goal for any of Ottawa’s CFL teams (Redblacks, Renegades and Rough Riders). The former University of Ottawa Gee-Gee made 69 straight field goals over two seasons, going far past previous records in both the CFL and NFL, before having that streak snapped in mid-August. “There was a bit of a breeze that particularly affected the punts and field goals. I have a role — try and give us a chance to win football games.”Ward has missed five field goals this season, but his stats (40-of-45) are still terrific.
