EDMONTON -- The Saskatchewan Roughriders are entering record-setting territory with their start this season. Lorenzo Alexander Jersey . Kory Sheets ran for a pair of touchdowns as Saskatchewan continued to set the pace in the CFL with a 30-27 come-from-behind road victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. The Roughriders recorded their second-ever 7-1 start in franchise history with the win. The only other time they have had a 7-1 start was in 1970, a year that they finished 14-2. "I wasnt born yet," laughed 36-year-old Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin. "Thats awesome. Its great for our fans." Despite their opponents lack of success this season, Chamblin said he knew the Eskimos were going to be a challenge. "The Eskimos are very close to becoming a winning football team and we knew that we would be facing a tough opponent," he said. "We talked about being like a clock. Being slow and steady and going one second at a time, one play at a time. We did that. It came down to being steady and the last play was on us." Sheets scampered for 139 yards and easily eclipsed the 1,000 yards rushing mark for the season in the game, becoming the first player in league history to do so in his teams first eight games. "It gives you a little bit of bragging rights around the league," he said. "Your friends are going to be calling and I know the guys in the locker room are going to be messing around with me. "It was a real team victory today. The offence played well, and so did the defence and special teams. There is nothing more you can ask for that a complete team victory." Edmonton tied a dubious record of its own with their sixth-straight loss. It is only the second time in team history that the Eskimos have gone 1-7 to start a season, the last being in 1971. Edmonton has now lost its last four games by a combined score of 12 points and the frustration level is peaking. "Its tough, very frustrating," said receiver Fred Stamps, who reeled in a pair of TD passes. "We feel like were so close. Its frightening. "Its tough because were so hungry. I dont know. Were right there, were right there." Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed agreed. "With the game we played, we should have beat arguably the best team in the league," he said. "We just couldnt finish it off again." Edmonton got on the board on its first possession, as newcomer Hugh ONeill kicked a 46-yard field goal. The Riders responded on their first drive with a 27-yard field goal by Chris Milo to make it 3-3, a score that stood up to the end of the first quarter. Milo opened up the second frame with a 36-yard field goal to put Saskatchewan up 6-3. The Eskimos recorded the games first touchdown three minutes into the second quarter as quarterback Mike Reilly spotted Stamps wide open in the end zone for a 33-yard score. Stamps also recorded two major milestones in the game, moving into fourth on Edmontons all-time receptions list and into fifth for team receiving yards. The Eskimos defence continued to come up big in the first half to keep Saskatchewan from crossing the goal-line, but Milo was able to add a pair of late field goals to edge his team into a 12-10 lead at the midmark. The Riders added to their lead in broken record fashion to start the third quarter as Milo had his fifth field goal of the game to put Saskatchewan up 15-10. Edmonton regained the lead just past the mid-point of the third quarter as Reilly found Stamps for his second TD reception of the day as the veteran receiver slid to make a 21-yard catch in the end zone to put the Eskimos up 17-15. Saskatchewan bounced back with three minutes to play in the third as Sheets propelled his team down the field with a couple of big gains before making the Edmonton defence look hapless as he slipped past three tacklers for a 10-yard TD run to put the Roughriders up 22-17. Two minutes later the lead see-sawed back in Edmontons favour as a 41-yard passing play to Marcus Henry set up a 13-yard Reilly pass for a TD to Cary Koch to put the Eskimos back in front 24-22. It was the sixth lead change of the game, league-high for this season. Edmonton increased its lead to five points on a 42-yard field goal from ONeill with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Once again Saskatchewan jumped back in front with eight minutes to play as Sheets easily knifed through the Eskimos defence for an 18-yard touchdown and a 29-27 Riders lead. Edmonton looked like it was going to retake the lead after a huge 35-yard catch by Koch took the Eskimos to the two-yard line with six minutes to play. However, backup Kerry Joseph bobbled a snap to put them back to the five and then Reilly was picked off in the end zone by Dwight Anderson. Saskatchewan ended up with a punt single from the turnover to lead 30-27. "We just kept in the game and kept in the moment," Anderson said. "We just didnt get flustered. We just knew that we needed to keep going out there and come up with a big play to give our offence a chance to win it." With just over a minute to play, the Esks were mounting one final drive. However, Reilly was crushed for a sack and fumbled the ball, with Rider Ricky Foley recovering to give Saskatchewan the ball at the Edmonton 54 and allowing them to run down the clock. Notes: It was the 199th regular season meeting between the two teams. Edmonton came into the contest with a winning record of 114-82-2a Edmonton entered the game having lost its last three games by a combined nine points and on the heels of a 36-33 loss to Toronto despite quarterback Mike Reilly passing for an impressive 511 yardsa Saskatchewan was without wide receiver Rob Bagg, who missed the game with a knee straina After becoming just the third player in CFL history to record his 1,000th catch last week, Geroy Simon got the five receiving yards he needed to become the first to reach the 16,000 yard plateau.

Chile applied pressure in midfield right from the beginning, challenging aggressively and continually surging forward. Eduardo Vargas beat the offside trap and fired home a stinging shot for Chiles opening goal in the fifth minute. PHOENIX -- The Suns are getting energy from an unexpected source in their strong start to the season. Phoenixs reserves came up big again Friday night, with twins Markieff and Marcus Morris leading the Suns to a 114-103 over the Denver Nuggets. Markieff Morris scored 14 of his career-high 28 points in the fourth quarter as Phoenix came back from an 11-point deficit late in the third after leading by as many as 18 in the first couple of minutes of the second half. His effort was a big part of the 51 points scored by the Suns bench players. "Well take it," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. "They play with energy. Thats what we need them to do, is just continue to play as hard as they can. When theyre out there its a pretty small lineup, which I think makes them all think I have to go rebound and I have to help out and then theyre just much more active." Markieff Morris added 10 rebounds and made 10 of 13 shots. Marcus Morris scored 11 points and grabbed eight boards. The brothers combined for five steals, and reserve guard Ish Smith had eight and four assists in only 12 minutes, 27 seconds on the court. "Hes doing a nice job of not just floating around the 15- to 18-foot range looking for a jump shot," Hornacek said of Markieff Morris. "Hes playing under control. Markieffs not forcing anything." Phoenix (4-2) got 46 points from its reserves in a loss at San Antonio on Wednesday and in the three games prior, totalled 40, 35 and 35 points from its bench players. The Suns led 64-47 at halftime but got outscored 40-20 in the third quarter. Ty Lawson scored 21 of his 29 points in the period to vault the Nuggets back into the lead. "We cant give up that many points in a quarter," said guard Gerald Green, typically a reserve but pressed into a starting role Friday. "Our bench was huge. Were going to need that for the rest of the season to be one of those good teams in the West." The fourth quarter saw both teams matching baskets until Marcus Morris hit a jumper with 5:13 to play thatt gave the Suns a 100-95 lead and jump-started a strong finish. Jordan Poyer Jersey. Starters Miles Plumlee added 18 points and 11 rebounds and Eric Bledsoe had 17 points and nine assists. Jordan Hamilton scored 19 points for Denver, which fell to 1-4. "The fourth quarter killed us again," Lawson said. "The third quarter we were up 10 and I should have managed the game better. We took a lot of quick shots and turned the ball over." The Suns trailed 87-76 before closing out the third quarter with an 8-0 run. Smith converted a three-point play and Markieff Morris made a layup off a steal. Phoenix got off to a quick start. Plumlee scored 10 points in the first quarter, including a pair of three-point plays when he twice took Denver big man Timofey Mozgov off the dribble for a basket and a foul. The Suns made 14 of 24 first-quarter shots, one of them a high-flying dunk by Green on a lob from P.J. Tucker. Phoenixs 35 points marked its most in an opening period this season. Phoenix went ahead 57-45 on a pick-and-roll layup by Plumlee. The Suns took their largest lead of the half when Markieff Morris leaped to grab the high carom from a missed free throw and slammed the ball home for a 64-46 lead. "I told our team we lost that game in the first half," Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said. "We gave up 65 points in the first half and 35 points in the first quarter. Low energy once again. "I am at a loss of words from the lack of energy from some of our rotation guys. ... I will go down the bench and find the guys who want to play." NOTES: The Suns played without starting guard Goran Dragic, who warmed up before the game but is still dealing with a sprained left ankle. Dragic has now missed the past three games but could be ready as soon as the Suns next game against New Orleans on Sunday. Green started in his place. . Hornacek is the first Suns head coach to begin his tenure 3-0 at home since Scott Skiles in 1999-2000. The Suns opened 3-0 at home for the first time since the 2009-2010 season.
