Crazy finished are not uncommon in the CFL, but head coach Jarious Jackson said “that’s one of the craziest finishes I’ve seen”. The Elks down 20-9 entering the fourth quarter of the contest. With less than a minute left in the game the Elks moved the ball 90 yards in two plays to take the lead. Then Toronto tied the game with a field goal, and it was unto overtime.

With the game on the line and a third down on the Toronto 34-yard line, head coach Jackson chose the record setting foot of Jake Julien to finish off the game, and he did with what is known in the CFL as a rouge.

Although the Elks has a losing record for the season, it was an impressive win to close out the season. No doubt there will be many changes in the off season, and hopefully the last win performance by many will secure them a long look for next season.

After a 0-5 start to this season in which they lost four straight games by exactly three points, including the last three on game-winning field goals as time expired. Coming close doesn't add points to the stats so Elks’ president and CEO Rick LeLacheur made the difficult decision and move during this stage of the season to bring the Chris Jones era with the Elks to an end.

The season is still salvageable so Geroy Simon will take over as interim general manager, while offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach Jarious Jackson will become the team’s interim head coach and offensive play-caller.
