  "summary": "The Edmonton Elks have secured the home field advantage for this year's CFL West final after defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 35-27. Quarterback Cody Fajardo played a pivotal role in the victory, running for two touchdowns and passing for two more as the Elks rebounded from a missed field goal to secure a crucial win. Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros completed a respectable 28 of 33 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns, but ultimately couldn't secure the win. The Blue Bombers (8-9) remain in contention for a post-season berth, depending on Calgary's outcome against B.C. on Saturday.",
