Winnipeg Blue Bombers Clinch CFL Playoff Spot with 34-10 Win over B.C. Lions
Dru Brown threw two touchdown passes and the Blue Bombers scored 34 points after Zach Collaros left with an apparent injury.
- On Friday, Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros left the team's must-win game against the Lions with an apparent injury after being levelled by Lions defensive lineman Nathan Cherry late in the third quarter.
- Winnipeg entered the regular-season finale needing a victory to earn a playoff spot for the 10th-straight season, but trailed the Lions 10-3 at halftime after a listless offensive performance during the first two quarters.
- Backup quarterback Dru Brown replaced Collaros and completed a perfect 11-for-11 for 185 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with Dorian Singer and Nic Demski to lift the Blue Bombers to a 34-10 win.
- This victory moves Winnipeg to a 9-9 record, tied with the Calgary Stampeders, with playoff slotting depending on Saturday's game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Elks.
- If Saskatchewan loses, Winnipeg moves to third in the West Division and will face the Lions again in the Western Semifinal in Vancouver on Halloween at 1:30 p.m.
