Blackburn's Ben Brereton lashed home the opener after 27 minutes
Ben Brereton's first-half goal helped Blackburn end their five-game losing run with a point against 10-man Coventry.
The visitors struck the bar inside 20 seconds but found themselves behind after 27 minutes when Brereton struck a sweetly-struck shot past Ben Wilson.
Rovers held their lead until the 50th minute when the Sky Blues equalised after Matty James applied the finish to Tyler Walker's headed pass.
Coventry had Leo Ostigard sent off with eight minutes remaining after the Norwegian picked-up a second yellow card as the game finished all-square.
