The defence allowed some disturbingly easy Winnipeg drives but stiffened and forced four Marc Liegghio field goals, while also scoring a touchdown for the second straight game. there was a moment of silence for Queen Elizabeth II before the game. rookie of the year candidate Dalton Schoen had 158 yards on six catches for the Bombers … Plus, he ran for 19 yards, nine of them to extend a critical, game-locking 90-yard touchdown drive that ate up half of the fourth quarter into the wind.

They scored two straight touchdowns to take the score from 41-17 to 41-31 with over nine minutes left. “The fumble was a huge momentum swing and I can’t do that,” Collaros said. He finished with 342 yards, on 23 completions, and two touchdown passes. We just can’t have it.” “You play to win, you prep all week to win,” Collaros said. They lost 44-21 to Ottawa on that day. It was the first time since Aug. Though they made the score seem respectable with a couple of late touchdowns, the Bombers generally looked like a team that started its bye week a day early.
