The Edmonton Elks defeat the Ottawa Redblacks 40-17 in a Thursday CFL game highlighted by three touchdown passes or runs from Justin Rankin. Multiple reports describe Rankin’s big-play scoring as central to Edmonton’s offense and their return to winning form.
After the loss, Ottawa remains winless, continuing a struggling run in the season. Edmonton’s victory improves their league position in the West Division, moving them ahead of Saskatchewan into first place at 4-1, according to one report. Another account frames the result as Edmonton getting back to winning ways with a decisive margin.
Across sources, the consistent details are the final score, Rankin’s three touchdowns, Ottawa’s winless status, and Edmonton’s improved standing in the West. None of the excerpts provide further breakdowns of scoring by quarter, defensive statistics, or injuries.
