  "account": "Winnipeg Blue Bombers secured a crucial 33-21 victory over the winless Ottawa Redblacks on a rainy Friday night at Princess Auto Stadium. The win lifted the Blue and Gold to a 5-4 record. Running back Brady Oliveira, recovering from an ankle injury, delivered an impressive performance with 71 receiving yards and 61 rushing yards. However, the Blue Bombers' offense struggled, with quarterback Zach Collaros suffering another injury, this time a neck injury, after being hit from the blind side by Ottawa's Luc Cormier. Collaros was sacked four times and completed 21 of 31 passes for 222 yards. The Bombers will face a tough test against early Grey Cup favourites Montreal on Friday, Aug. 28, before their annual back-to-back with Saskatchewan.",
