Winnipeg Blue Bombers

You respect your opponent; you respect the game, and you do everything you can to do your job that week at a high level. He’s also a threat out of the backfield; I think he’s caught the ball really well in situations in games this year and continues to get better in practice. There’s too much parity to overlook anybody and there’s a lot of talent over there and around the league. “I say it to you all the time, he does a really good job in protection standpoint and from a quarterback standpoint that’s very important. Schoen’s 11 TD receptions as a first-year player are a Blue Bombers record and ranks fifth-most in CFL history. His 59.6 conversion rate on second-down catches is the highest in the league dating back to ’04, with three games remaining. “(The change) is always a combination of things. O’Shea’s 80 wins as a Blue Bombers head coach ranks third on the club’s all-time list, behind only Bud Grant (102) and Cal Murphy (86). Winnipeg hasn’t finished first in its division in consecutive seasons since 1992-94, when the team finished atop the East Division three straight years with records of 11-7, 14-4 and 13-5. That’s the longest win streak against Edmonton in club history dating back to their first meeting in 1938 and eclipses a five-game streak set over 1965-67. Home/Road: The Blue Bombers have the best home record in the CFL this season at 6-1 and are 25-2 at IG Field, including playoffs, dating back to the middle of 2018. The Blue Bombers knocked off the Elks 24-10 earlier this year and have now won six straight against Edmonton dating back to 2019.

That’s a season high for the offence, and the most since the club had 508 in a 30-9 win over B.C. - Zach Collaros already had posted career bests in passing yardage and TD passes heading into this game but his numbers Saturday pushed him over 4,000 yards passing for the first time in his career. In addition to Schoen’s three scores, the Blue Bombers got two TDs from Brady Oliveira – one along the ground and his first career receiving TD – and another from Nic Demski. He’s now at 4,115 yards and the 35 TDs ties him with Tom Clements for third most in a season by a Blue Bombers QB, behind only Khari Jones (46 in 2002) and Matt Dunigan (36 in 1993). Winnipeg scored TDs on four of their five first-half possessions and had 342 yards of net offence by the intermission en route to finishing with 503 on the night. - Schoen now has 64 catches for 1,275 yards and the 14 TDs. We didn’t play a clean, full game, but we showed a lot of flashes in all three phases, and it was clicking very well for all of us. Matt Dunigan, Sam Garza and Tom Porras all threw for TDs in a 61-10 over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on October 2, 1993. They were scoring touchdowns and we wanted to go out there and honour them by getting as many two-and-outs as we can and have fun, for the most part. “In front of the fans is spectacular, right? “It means a lot, but it’s not our goal to just get that game here,” said receiver Dalton Schoen, who authored another sensational night with seven catches for 162 yards and three touchdowns. It’s huge to get to play in front of these fans.

The Edmonton Elks lost to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 48-11 at IG Field on Saturday night. Edmonton's Dillon Mitchell caught six passes from quarterback Taylor Cornelius for 107 yards, including a 59-yard reception for a touchdown in the second quarter.

At noon, the Alberta Golden Bears take on the Calgary Dinos in Canada West university action, followed by the Elks hosting the Toronto Argonauts at 5 p.m. The Elks trailed 14-1 after the first quarter, 28-8 at halftime and 28-11 going into the final quarter. The first-year Elks receiver now has six consecutive games with a reception of at least 44 yards.

DB Treston Decoud was helped off the field early in the fourth quarter. His first pass when to Schoen for a 65-yard reception that ended up in his third touchdown catch of the night. The drive went 70 yards on six plays. The five-play drive covered 73 yards. Lions, mean nothing outside of two more chances to halt an embarrassing losing skid at Commonwealth Stadium that has grown to a CFL record 15-straight home games — which began this week three years ago. “Tough game, we didn’t play the way we wanted to and all credit to Winnipeg, they’re a great team.

WINNIPEG — The 2022 Canadian Football League season came full circle for the newest addition to the Edmonton Elks lineup.

“No, it’s pro football,” said Jones. “We played good against them last time, but again, they found a way to win the football game in the fourth quarter, so that’s what we’ve got to do. “They’ve got a lot of guys that know how to win. You’re just focused on the week to week. “Early in my career, you’re just trying to make it. “A lot of emotions,” Castillo said of being back in Winnipeg. “Just from my mom, man. “One thing that the coach said that really stuck with me was prove him wrong. “It was brief there, but it gave me a chance to really see what the CFL was about and just kind of the style of play.

Backup quarterback Dru Brown took over the controls with four minutes remaining in the game and threw a 65-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Schoen on his second play from scrimmage. Schoen now leads the CFL in receiving yards with 1,275 and touchdown receptions with 14.
