Blue Bombers blitz B.C. Lions 43-22 in battle of CFL unbeatens
The first head-to-head meeting between two of the CFL’s stingiest teams turned out to be a high-scoring affair. With both sides unbeaten entering Saturday’s contest at BC Place, the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers blitzed the host B.C. Lions 43-22.
Dru Brown added a quarterback sneak for a major, as well as stepping into the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Marc Liegghio also chipped in with three field goals for the Blue Bombers, who have now matched their 5-0 start from their Grey Cup-winning 2019 season. The Blue Bombers’ dominance began with the first play of the game, Grant’s 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
The Bombers pushed their lead to 21-0 as the first quarter ended, after Brown finished off a 77-yard drive with a one-yard quarterback sneak.
