EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers look to extend their win streak to seven wins to open the year when they visit the Edmonton Elks on Friday night.

The Elks are looking to inch their way back into the West Division race with a win on home field. While Cornelius will need to have a keen sense of where the defensive backs are, the pass defence has been an area of weakness for Winnipeg. They’ve surrendered a second worst 1,754 passing yards, or an average of 292.3 per game. All three phases they have veteran people who have been around the league a long time. It’ll take a full team effort to hold Collaros and the Bombers offence in check, but Edmonton head coach Chris Jones knows his team is in for a tough test. The star receiver will be facing his former team for the first time. He brought down seven catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Nick Taylor leads the Blue and Gold with three interceptions on the year, to pair alongside his 23 defensive tackles. The Bombers secondary stepped up and held Bo Levi Mitchell to a 42.9 pass completion percentage a week ago. What was most impressive was his ability to lead a fourth quarter comeback with his team trailing 31-18. Against Calgary, it was a receiver Carlton Agudosi, who shone for the Bombers offence in his CFL debut. Edmonton has also yielded a league worst 837 yards on the ground this season. That’s what decides who wins football games,” Hall told BlueBombers.com. “We don’t want to give up a lot of yards but, more importantly, if you don’t give up a lot of points it increases your chances of winning football games.”

If you didn't see it, Friday's Edmonton Elks game played out the same as the last 10 held at Commonwealth Stadium.

“For me, this was the most highly anticipated game of the season,” said Elks receiver Kenny Lawler, who made seven catches for a team-high 98 yards against a Bombers squad he just won back-to-back Grey Cups with. But the scoreboard went decidedly Winnipeg’s way, while they also out-sacked Edmonton 5-0 and won the turnover battle 3-2. Falling 24-10 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who remain the Canadian Football League’s lone undefeated team at 7-0, the Elks were held out of the end zone as they drop to 2-5. And you likely didn’t, given it was another less-than-stellar turnout to witness yet another loss at home. Article content Article content
