‘They’ve got some swagger to them’
Since 2019, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been dominating the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League (CFL). The Elks have lost 22 consecutive games at home, the longest such streak in North American pro sports history. In a five-week span in 2021, the Bombers beat the Elks three times, including a 30-3 victory. Last season, the Elks, under second-year head coach Mark Kilam, have improved to 7-3 in the West, their best start since 2015 when they also won the Grey Cup.
Edmonton will host the Bombers on Friday for a game that former Elks player, current Winnipeg linebacker Tony Jones, describes as "troublesome."
