It’s come to this: If the Ottawa Redblacks lose Saturday in Toronto, they will finish the season as the worst team in the CFL.

But more important than not trying to finish last is trying to put some polish on what they’re doing on the football field. They’ve lost nine straight games and 13 of their past 14 to stumble to a 3-13 record, the same as the Argos. Toronto has already beaten Ottawa twice this season — 46-17 in early September, then 28-21 two weeks ago.

“I just want to win a game. Believe me, it’s been way too long,” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said. “That’s really all we’ve been focusing on — go to Toronto and get a win.”

There really hasn’t been a lot of positive out of what’s been happening on the football field for the past four months, but the players, through all the losses, have hung together.

“It’s a lot easier to be on a team when you’re getting pats on the back and when things are going well,” Campbell said. “When things aren’t, you learn about people. I feel fortunate to have a lot of quality people around here. No one’s pointing fingers or throwing people under the bus. We understand we have to get better, there’s no doubt about that. We’re going to hang together through this tough time and keep going.”
