Blue Bombers roll past winless Redblacks 33-21
Running back Brady Oliveira began as a game-time decision, only to become a major difference-maker as Winnipeg beat Ottawa in CFL action Friday night.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers dominated the winless Ottawa Redblacks 33-21 at Princess Auto Stadium on Friday, as running back Brady Oliveira led the team with 74 rushing yards and an 80-yard reception. Oliveira, who initially practiced with an injured ankle, proved his worth and climbed the CFL's all-time rushing leaders list. Winnipeg improved to 5-4 with the victory, closing a two-game losing streak at home and securing a game's head start over the Lions and Stampeders.
Quarterback Zach Collaros returned from a neck injury and completed 21-of-31 passes for 222 yards. Sergio Castillo added 4 field goals, while Tim White had 85 yards receiving. The Redblacks, who now stand at 0-9, suffered a significant setback, extending their losing streak to 15 games and falling short of the 16-game consecutive losing record held by the Hamilton Wildcats.
