WINNIPEG — Willie Jefferson doesn’t like to look too far ahead, but there is something he’d like to see happen after the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
A victory by the Blue Bombers in front of a third straight sellout at Princess Auto Stadium would clinch a playoff spot for the eighth consecutive season, one in which the team started 0-4.
That’s when Winnipeg veteran quarterback Zach Collaros helped engineer three touchdown drives, including running back Brady Oliveira’s first two majors of the season. He finished with 127 yards off 18 carries. Collaros was intercepted once last week by defensive back Darius Bratton, who will miss Friday’s match with a knee injury.
“Just knowing what to do, where to go with the football, managing the guys, managing the huddle. Just giving the team a spark. I just feel like he’s been the more consistent guy this year in that position.”
