Hamilton will host Edmonton in their first-ever crossover playoff meeting
It will be a historic first for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Edmonton Eskimos.
Hamilton hosts Edmonton on Sunday in the East Division semifinal. It will mark the first-ever crossover playoff meeting between the two clubs, set up by the Eskimos (10-8) moving into the Eastern playoffs after finishing fourth in the West but posting a better record than the third-place Montreal Alouettes (7-11).
Hamilton finished tied with Montreal in the standings but clinched second by winning the season series.
Edmonton and Hamilton have met in the Grey Cup twice. The Eskimos earned a 48-10 victory in 1980 before the Ticats captured a 39-15 decision six years later.
