Lost two games in the last three weeks where you were held out of the end zone in both games? No problem.

Just pick up the phone and order now. For one low price, you too can have a bounce-back game against the Toronto Argonauts.

And the remedy turned out to be just what the doctor ordered for the Edmonton Eskimos, who defeated the Toronto Argonauts 26-0 in front of their biggest crowd of the season, 30,368, at Commonwealth Stadium on Thursday.

At the end of an extended three-game road trip across the Prairies, the Argonauts saw their winless streak against West Division opponents rise to eight games, while they simultaneously fell to 0-6 on the season. They have lost 13 games in a row on the road, including all nine last season.

As for the Eskimos, that makes it twice in a row now they lost a game while failing to score a touchdown, only to rebound with a win in their next game where they held the opposition out of the end zone.
