Regina, SK (SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Allen ran for a go-ahead 15-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining to lift the Saskatchewan Roughriders past the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 35-30, on Sunday afternoon.

Saskatchewan won the thriller despite blowing a 14-point lead in the second half.

Darian Durant was 14-of-26 for 204 yards and a touchdown to go with 28 yards on the ground, while Allen ran for a pair of scores for the Roughriders, who have won six straight games.
