The Winnipeg Blue Bombers moved into a share of first place in the CFL's West Division with a thrilling 35-33 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday in Regina.
In front of a sold-out crowd at Mosaic Stadium, the Bombers earned their fourth consecutive victory to improve to 6-6-0. The Riders, who are 0-5-1 in their last six games, slipped to 5-6-1.
The Bombers and B.C. Lions -- who beat Ottawa 38-12 on Saturday in Victoria, B.C. -- are tied with 12 points each atop the West. The Roughriders have 11 points.
The Bombers held off a late comeback by the Riders. Sergio Castillo gave the Bombers an eight-point lead with a 56-yard field goal with 1:35 left in the fourth. After the ensuing kickoff, the Riders took over on their own 21-yard line.
Facing third-and-six from the Winnipeg 27-yard line, Riders quarterback Trevor Harris connected with Samuel Emilus on a 26-yard reception. Harris then scored on a one-yard plunge to pull the Riders to within two points.
The two-point convert failed as Harris's pass to Kian Schaffer-Baker was broken up by Winnipeg linebacker Tony Jones.
The Riders recovered the ensuing onside kick to get one last chance with 12 seconds remaining. Harris was intercepted by Nick Hallett but the Bombers were penalized for pass interference on the Winnipeg 52-yard line.
