The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' defence showcased impressive performance against the Edmonton Elks, holding the No. 1-ranked team to just 22 points in their latest game. However, despite their strong showing, the team fell short by two points, ultimately losing 22-19. Corner Jonathan Moxey admitted that he needs to improve in tackling, specifically in the final minute of the game when the Elks managed a 40-yard field goal to secure the victory.
The Bombers had minimal possession of the ball in the final 30 minutes and exhibited fatigue, but Moxey maintained that "fatigue is never an excuse" as they are professional athletes. The team signed defensive back Justin Rankin, who had a standout performance with an interception, to a two-year deal. The Blue Bombers will now focus on facing the Montreal Alouettes on Friday with a goal to secure a win.
