EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have a nickname for the opposition’s end zone. They refer to it as the “chicken box.” So, after each of running back Brady Oliveira’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns, he did a chicken dance.
EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have a nickname for the opposition’s end zone. They refer to it as the “chicken box.”
For Oliveira, those were his first two touchdowns of the season, an odd stat for a rusher who has 1,021 yards on the year. "I dance like a chicken, cluck like a chicken,” said Oliveira. “They call it the chicken box, the chicken coop, when you get in the end zone. So there's a little bit of a joke going on, over the last couple of weeks, 'how come I haven't got in the chicken box?'
"It was right on time. I think they just had a big run, too. So, he just got up and picked the ball and he was in a bit of no man's land. But he went up and got it — and good for him. It's nice for a young guy, when he makes a play, that his teammates are so excited for him.""We were getting a lot of good movement up front. You really just start to feel it when you start imposing your will on another grown man.
