The Roughriders opened with a four-game win streak but saw their form nose-dive between the middle of July and early September.
They won just once during a nine-game spell, putting their postseason aspirations in serious jeopardy with that miserable run of form.
Saskatchewan rallied between their final two bye weeks, reeling of four consecutive wins as they beat Calgary 37-29, Ottawa 29-16, Edmonton 28-24 and BC 39-8.
The Roughriders ended the regular season with a defeat though, as they were beaten 27-12 at home by Calgary.
