After rough 0-4 start to season, Winnipeg Blue Bombers look to clinch playoff berth against Edmonton Elks
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.
“But after the game when we get to the locker room and we get the chance to think about everything that’s going forward, it would feel a lot better to win this game and have that playoff spot.”The Elks sit at 5-9, fourth in the division and still in the playoff picture. Collaros always follows the team’s one-game-at-a-time mantra and said clinching a playoff spot won’t be a notable achievement.
Collaros was intercepted once last week by defensive back Darius Bratton, who will miss Friday’s match with a knee injury. “It’s consistency,” Edmonton interim head coach Jarious Jackson said of his reason for starting the veteran over Ford. “I’m really excited for this opportunity to come in and beat the brakes off these guys,” he said. “They’re a great team and this is going to be a great atmosphere.”
