REGINA -- The Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched a playoff spot with their 16-12 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday afternoon at Mosaic Stadium.

Trailing 12-9 in the late stages of the game, Trevor Harris and the Riders came all the way back to defeat Montreal and lock up their spot in the postseason. With 33 seconds left on the clock and the Riders set up on Montreal's 17-yard line, Harris found KeeSean Johnson in the end zone for the touchdown. That score gave the Riders a four-point lead that they held onto for the victory.

While the touchdown proved to be the difference, kicker Brett Lauther accounted for the rest of the Riders' points in his first game back at Mosaic Stadium.

1 - GAME-WINNING TOUCHDOWN

The Saskatchewan Roughriders' only touchdown of Saturday afternoon's game proved to be the difference against the Montreal Alouettes.

The Riders trailed the entire game until it mattered most, with Trevor Harris finding KeeSean Johnson in the end zone with just over 30 seconds left on the clock to secure the win and a playoff spot.

3 - BRETT LAUTHER FIELD GOALS

Brett Lauther accounted for nine of the Roughriders' points in his first game back at Mosaic Stadium.

The kicker, who was traded by the Ottawa REDBLACKS a few weeks ago, was good on three of his four attempts, with his longest coming from 52 yards out.

22 - TREVOR HARRIS RUSH ON FINAL DRIVE

Trevor Harris isn't known for using his legs, but with the game, and perhaps his team's season, on the line, he decided he was going to.

On second-and-three, Harris began his reads and decided to take off and run. Instead of just getting the three yards for the first down, Harris saw open field and kept going for a 22-yard gain. That rush put the Riders into scoring position, setting up the game-winning touchdown on the very next play.

Harris finished with 33 rushing yards on three carries to go along with 253 yards and a touchdown through the air.
