Another year, another Grey Cup appearance for Zach Collaros and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Winnipeg squares off next Sunday against the Toronto Argonauts at B.C. Place Stadium.
Winnipeg squares off next Sunday against the Toronto Argonauts at B.C. Place Stadium. The Bombers will play in their fifth consecutive CFL championship game after defeating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 38-22 in the West Division final Saturday.
Winnipeg won in '19 and '21, defeating Hamilton both times, before losing 24-23 to Toronto in the '22 Grey Cup. And last year, Montreal rallied to down the Bombers 28-24. Lirim Hajrullahu's 34-yard field goal earned Toronto the overtime victory but it was the Argos defence that came up big. The unit scored the team's lone touchdown while forcing five turnovers and recording five sacks.
But again Toronto's defence was stellar, recording seven sacks and an interception. Winnipeg's defence did its part, stopping the Argos on a goal-line stand and forcing three turnovers. But it was Kelly's crucial 20-yard run on second-and-15 that set up A.J. Ouellette's game-winning five-yard rushing TD.
The run is an important element of both offences. Toronto had the CFL's second-ranked rushing attack and goes with Ka'Deem Carey, Deonta McMahon and Canadian Daniel Adeboboye in the backfield.Canadian Brady Oliveira ran for a league-best 1,353 yards for the Bombers. For the second straight year, the Winnipeg native is the West Division nominee for the CFL's outstanding player and Canadian awards, having won the latter last season.
