OTTAWA — The highlight reel isn’t a big deal to Rob Bagg.

The veteran Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver responded in succinct fashion when it was pointed out that he had made a spectacular fourth-quarter catch in each of his team’s last two CFL road games against the Ottawa Redblacks.

“I guess I just had the ball thrown to me deep,” Bagg said Sunday after the Roughriders held a walk-through on Parliament Hill.

On Oct. 7, 2016, Darian Durant found Bagg for a 27-yard touchdown with 1:16 left in the fourth quarter to help the Roughriders assume a 29-22 lead over the host Redblacks. Ottawa answered with a late major, forcing overtime, but Saskatchewan ended up winning 32-30 to improve its record to 4-10.

Most recently, Bagg caught an underthrown pass from Kevin Glenn — snaring the ball just as it was about to hit the rain-soaked turf — for a 30-yard gain with 6:18 remaining Friday at TD Place.

The catch, which Bagg made at the eight-yard line, set up a Tyler Crapigna field goal that created a 17-17 tie. Saskatchewan went on to win 18-17 and emerged with a winning record (7-6).
