Veteran QB Zach Collaros delivered an outstanding performance in a 44-28 victory over the Montreal Alouettes, marking his finest showing of the season despite turning 38 earlier in the week. Collaros showcased his ability to spread the ball around, connecting with eight different receivers and recording 324 passing yards. He also rushed twice for nine yards, protected the football, and avoided turnovers.
The Blue Bombers' strong performance across the board, including a standout game from running back Brady Oliveira (16 rushes for 106 yards and a touchdown) and solid contributions from Bryce Perkins, solidified their chances of pulling off an upset against a team on a winning streak. Blue Bombers quarterback Tommy Condell received praise for his play-calling, with Collaros stating he considered Condell "the best play-caller I've ever played for."
Head coach Mike O'Shea emphasized Collaros' leadership and the invaluable role he plays for the team, calling his performance "fine wine" and testament to his continued ability at the age of 38.
