Season schedule

The Edmonton Eskimos clinched a playoff game against the Toronto Argonauts with an Argonauts victory and a Hamilton Tiger-Cats the night before, allowing the Eskimos team to cross-over into the East Divisional Playoffs. The Eskimos would go on to lose against the same Argonauts team that allowed them to clinch the last playoff spot in the CFL during the 2012 CFL season. Had the Hamilton Tiger-Cats beat the Toronto Argonauts lost, the Eskimos final game against Calgary on November 2 would have been a game where they needed to win or tie to clinch a playoff berth.
