After a few days off, the Edmonton Elks returned to practice on Friday as they prepare for a rare Tuesday night CFL game in our nation’s capital against the Ottawa Redblacks.
The Elks’ last game was Sept. 18 on The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium, a 37-22 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Elks managed to erase a 14-0 deficit, and at one point, had the lead against the CFL’s best team. The game turned in the second half when two turnovers by the Elks resulted in two defensive touchdowns by the Bombers.
The Elks are 2-4 on the season and head coach Jamie Elizondo says the mistakes his team are making right now are proving to be very costly.
“We have to learn how not to lose before we can win,” he said. “Those penalties (we’ve taken) have proven to be crucial. You go back to the Ottawa game and we take a chop block penalty that takes points off the board, a missed field goal where we take a penalty which keeps the drive alive for the opponent.
“It just seems like the mistakes we’ve been making have been crucial and are turning out to be difference-makers.”

In the loss to the Bombers, 26-year-old quarterback Taylor Cornelius made his first CFL start in place of Trevor Harris who is currently on the team’s six-game injured list with a neck injury.
Cornelius completed 19 of 33 pass attempts for 243 yards passing and threw three interceptions — including one returned for a touchdown — and recorded a lost fumble which turned into a defensive touchdown for the Bombers.
