Bombers route Riders to advance to 111th Grey Cup
Global News
Saskatchewan would cut it to a one score game early in the third quarter, as AJ Ouellette would jump up and over the pile for a one-yard touchdown.
It would take until near five minutes to go in the first quarter to get our first score of the ballgame.
Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros would find Kenny Lawler on a deep crosser for a 31-yard major to give the Bombers an early 7-0 lead.
On their very next possession, the two would hook up a couple more times.
First, a deep 65-yard bomb down the right sideline and on the very next play, Collaros would find a wide open Lawler for a 24-yard touchdown and a 14-0 Bombers lead.
The Riders would come within inches of a touchdown on their next drive, a deep post pattern to KeeSean Johnson would fall just off of his fingertips and Saskatchewan would settle for a 40-yard Brett Lauther field goal to cut the deficit to 11.
Saskatchewan would get a big play on a Caleb Sanders blocked punt, but the Winnipeg defense would stiffen and hold the Riders to a 33-yard Lauther field goal.
But the Winnipeg offense would continue to roll, first a quarterback sneak by Terry Wilson for 48 yards to set the Bombers up inside the ten.
Then the drive would be finished off by a six-yard Collaros to Nic Demski connection.
