The Winnipeg Blue Bombers secure a 36-13 win against the Calgary Stampeders in a cold-weather game, showcasing their dominance in the second half. Backup QB Dru Brown impresses with 278 yards and two touchdowns, while the Stampeders rely on their running game for success in the playoffs.
Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWireThe result of Friday’s game at McMahon Stadium was quite literally meaningless, so why show your cards a week before the CFL playoffs?
But in the second half, something changed and the fans who were shivering in the stands at McMahon Stadium actually got a pretty good show — from the Bombers, at least. The Bombers did a nice job moving the ball through the air at times, even with QB Zach Collaros sidelined. Backup Dru Brown completed 13-of-17 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns.
Maier completed 6-of-15 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown, while Tommy Stevens completed 2-of-4 passes for nine yards.What other conclusions can you draw from a game like this, though? That’s not even a criticism. By its very nature, this was not a game where taking risks and trying to win was incentivized in any meaningful way.The Stamps had already taken care of business and gotten the six wins they needed to sneak into the playoffs in third place in the CFL’s West Division.
