DIVISION SEMI-FINALS
Sun Nov 8 - OTTAWA 20, Montreal 16 (17754) - When Nelson Skalbania purchased the Als in April, CFL officials predicted that the franchise would prosper. Instead, the Als were inept,  qualifying as the team with the poorest record to make the playoffs, and lost about $2.5-million. With 36 seconds left, QB Ken Johnson, nine yards from the Ottawa goal, fired a strike to Chuck McMann only to see the ball knocked away by Larry Brune and Rick Sowieta.
Sun Nov 8 - British Columbia 15, WINNIPEG 11 (32936) - Lions RB John Henry White picked up 158 yards on 17 carries, including a 50-yard run midway through the fourth quarter that helped set up a FG. Winnipeg QB Dieter completed 24 of 37 passes for just 177 yards.

DIVISION FINALS
Sun Nov 15 - Ottawa 17, HAMILTON 13 (28104) - QB Tom Clements threw three costly interceptions, including one to Glenn Cook in the Ottawa end zone when the Ticats were ahead 13-7 and 13 yards from the goalline. Rider QB J.C. Watts completed 19 of 39 passes for 311 yards, but his clutch scrambling was particularly beneficial. He gained 46 yards on six carries.
Sun Nov 15 - EDMONTON 22, British Columbia 16 (52861) - Warren Moon threw a 33-yard TD pass to Brian Kelly with a little more than five minutes left to give the Eskimos the win. The Lions led by 16-9 at halftime and were still ahead, 16-15, after three quarters. Moon completed only seven of 20 passes in the first half, but finally began to connect in the fourth quarter.


1981 GREY CUP GAME AT MONTREAL (Sunday, November 22 - 52,478)
EDMONTON ESKIMOS 26, OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS 23 - The Eskimos entered the game as 22 1/2-point favourites. But someone forgot to tell Ottawa. Led by rookie quarterback J.C. Watts, the Riders jumped to a surprising 20-1 advantage at halftime. Warren Moon made up for his earlier gaffes with a TD pass with less than five minutes remaining. A successful pass to Marco Cynear for a two-point convert tied the score, setting up some late-game dramatics. With three seconds left in regulation, veteran place kicker Dave Cutler booted a 27-yard field goal to send the Eskimos to the record books. It marked the last game for Ottawa’s Tony Gabriel in his Hall of Fame career. Gabriel played the final with an injured left knee.
