Bombers win ugly to keep playoff hopes alive
WINNIPEG – Zach Collaros was succinct in his assessment of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ offence after Friday’s 17-16 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
“I didn’t like anything,” the Blue Bombers quarterback said. “We didn’t do anything well.”
Collaros completed 15 of 24 pass attempts for 182 yards with one touchdown toss and one interception.
As has often been the case this season, Winnipeg’s defence and special teams made up for a lack of offensive output.
Sergio Castillo kicked a 22-yard field goal as time expired to help the Blue Bombers eke out the victory.
Winnipeg (9-8) got good news later Friday when the B.C. Lions beat the Edmonton Elks 34-27. The Bombers grabbed a playoff berth with the Elks’ loss.
“A win is a win, we got the two points, which is great — we’re going to hopefully extend our football into the post-season — but not good enough. Not good enough, man,” Winnipeg running back Brady Oliveira said.
“We’ve got to be a lot better if we want to win games down the stretch.”
