Winnipeg forced the Lions into long second downs all night, and the results showed it — just 2-of-19 on second down conversions, and nine of their first 13 drives were 15 yards or less.

Lee set the tone defensively with a big tackle for a short gain on the game’s first play from scrimmage, Collaros dropped a 42-yard pass on his head to Nic Demski the next play. The Bombers chewed up the yards, a 74-yard drive ending with Dalton Schoen waltzing untouched into the end zone for the game’s opening score four minutes into the game.Article content
