That should keep this game close but Winnipeg’s balance of consistent offence, shutdown defence in the red zone and productive special teams should be enough to finish off another victory. The Bombers have a 10-7 record in the annual Labour Day rematch … The Bombers are 6-0 against the West Division, while the Riders are 3-3 … CODY FAJARDO: Fajardo had a nice game last week, completing 72% of his passes for 292 yards and scoring on a one-yard plunge. DISCIPLINARY ACTION: The Riders are the most penalized team in the CFL, while the Bombers commit the fewest infractions. His best moment might have been deking out two Riders’ defenders to get a punt off in the second quarter. At least the danger of Collaros being intentionally injured is lessened. RETURN OF RETURNER: The Bombers will have dynamic kick returner Janarion Grant back in the lineup for the first time in three games. THE REMATCH: The Bombers will look to sweep the September home-and-home for the second straight year after taking last week’s Labour Day Classic in Regina by a score of 20-18.

With a sell-out crowd sounding like it was at a rock concert, the Blue Bombers' offence made beautiful music in the annual Banjo Bowl.

The Bombers and Riders meet again on Sept. They were driven back by a holding penalty and a Jackson Jeffcoat sack before putting three points on the board to make it 30-20 for Winnipeg. When the Bombers got the ball back, they finally had a drive stall out. The Bombers had two key players get injured in the first half. The Riders had a good response in the second quarter, when trailing 13-0. And finally, they marched 70 yards on four plays and got a terrific 34-yard catch-and-run from receiver Rasheed Bailey for another score.

WINNIPEG — The Saskatchewan Roughriders were no match for Winnipeg Blue Bombers or stomach issues that hit them before the kickoff of Saturday's Banjo Bowl.

Winnipeg improved its record to 12-1 and maintained its hold on first place in the West Division. He also returned a missed goal for a touchdown. We have a good group and we just have to play better. The Riders didn’t generate a first down or a single passing yard and were held to two offensive plays and a punt. “That’s a really good Bomber front seven and offensive line played its hearts out.” The Blue Bombers scored either touchdowns or field goals on their first eight possessions. “He was down pretty bad and I got to watch it first hand and it didn’t look pleasant,” said Fajardo, adding that he avoided the stomach virus other than feeling weak during the game. “I talked to our trainer and he said, ‘You’re not the only one and there are a lot of dudes in the same boat,’ ” Dickenson said. He initially thought it was food poisoning, but realized it was more serious than that after vomiting four or five times. “We knew that a four-quarter game was going to be tough and those guys hadn’t eaten since we left from Regina. A number of players had stomach issues that led to the team scratching backup quarterback Mason Fine, fullback James Tuck and defensive back Jeremy Clark. Article content

It’s unlikely that the Blue Bombers will be overtaken for first place in the West Division but the series between B.C. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (12-1) are set to take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-9) at Tim Hortons Field next week with kickoff set for Saturday at 4:00 p.m. It also does a poor job of representing the team’s colours as it features only a little blue and no gold. Canadian receiver Drew Wolitarsky left Saturday’s game early in the second quarter due to what appeared to be a lower-body injury. I’m not sure Rider Nation was as well represented as they were before the pandemic — gas prices could be to blame — but they still had a strong contingent in Winnipeg. The Riders entered Saturday’s game looking to overcome illness, a hostile crowd, and a dominant opponent. Offensive coordinator Buck Pierce has done a masterful job of running the team’s attack this year and this new wrinkle has helped take Winnipeg’s offence to another level. He converted a key second down late in the first quarter on a slick 17-yard carry Saskatchewan simply didn’t look ready to defend. The elusive quarterback loves to flee the pocket by spinning backwards to his right and finding the open field. Winnipeg’s front seven took over late in the game as Saskatchewan had no choice but to repeatedly throw the football. We chose two members of the Blue Bombers to take home year-end hardware with receiver Dalton Schoen as the Most Outstanding Rookie and quarterback Zach Collaros as the Most Outstanding Player. Shaq Evans committed the only dropped pass and it occurred late in the fourth quarter with the score already 47-20.

“It was just us trying to go out there and put the nail in the coffin,” said Jefferson. In the second half we were able to continue to lean on them. Zach Collaros now needs just 20 yards passing to move past Danny Barrett and into 25th place on the CFL’s all-time passing yardage list. I’ve been through a lot and to score that touchdown in that fashion in that end zone and that spot… We know we’ve got to keep fighting and just keep trying to go 1-0. We didn’t good job game-planning and scheming and everybody was on the same page. Dru Brown came off the bench to deliver a TD strike to Schoen, while Dakota Prukop scored twice in short yardage runs. “Like I said at the beginning of the game to the guys, ‘Why not today?’” said defensive end Willie Jefferson. It speaks volumes to the type of offence we have here. “I mean, I don’t even think I noticed it until the fourth quarter when I asked Dalton (Schoen), ‘Did we punt today?’ It’s just a great job by our whole offence to go out there and score that many points and to put that many drives together – and some of them were long drives, as well. They still played a good game, but we just took advantage of all the hole they gave us.” - The club improved to 5-1 at home, 7-0 vs.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers scored on their first eight possessions in a crushing 54-20 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday.
