Rankin Leads the Way with Three TDs as Elks Run over Winless Redblacks 40-17

On Thursday, the Edmonton Elks defeated the Ottawa Redblacks 40-17, with running back Justin Rankin scoring three touchdowns to lead the victory.
The victory moves the Elks to 4-1, placing them atop the West Division, while the Redblacks remain winless at 0-5 after struggling throughout the season.
Quarterback Cody Fajardo completed 19-of-24 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, while Ottawa quarterback Jake Maier went 26-of-39 for 293 yards with four interceptions.
Edmonton's defense capitalized on turnovers; interceptions by Kordell Jackson and Chelen Garnes set up scoring drives, while Rankin caught a 33-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth.
After managing only 19 rushing yards in last week's loss to the Lions, Rankin rebounded with 107 yards on 14 carries, re-establishing the Elks' offensive momentum.
