1 – ASOTUI ELI TOUCHDOWNS
It’s not every day you get to see a big man touchdown, but with the offence flowing and a strong enough lead on Friday night, Zach Collaros saw his opportunity and took it.
Leading 20-6, Collaros connected with Asotui Eli for his first CFL touchdown when they connected near the right sideline from five yards away for the score.
0 – TOUCHDOWNS ALLOWED BY WINNIPEG DEFENCE THROUGH 3 QUARTERS
The Bombers offence deserves all the credit for their efforts on Saturday night, but the work their defence did to hold the Lions to a minimum has earned flowers too.
On the other side of the football, Winnipeg’s defence forced multiple turnovers, including forcing two interceptions from Jeremiah Masoli.
Adding to the defence’s big day, Jamal Parker scooped up a fumbled and ran it back 57 yards for a touchdown.
200 – ZACH COLLAROS CAREER TOUCHDOWNS
Collaros has achieved a lot in his career, and with his first touchdown connecting with Dalton Schoen at 7:49 of the first quarter, he reached the 200 career touchdown passes thrown milestone.
The Bombers victory also notched the starting quarterback’s 50th win in his career, marking the achievement in his 70th appearance.
