Chris Randle picks off Mike Reilly as Blue Bombers down Eskimos 28-19
EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are one step closer to securing a home playoff date after a well-balanced performance.
Matt Nichols had a pair of touchdown passes as the Blue Bombers won their third game in a row, hanging on to defeat the Edmonton Eskimos 28-19 on Saturday.
Winnipeg (10-3) has now won eight of its last nine games.
“It was a great game, our defence came out and played very well,” said Winnipeg receiver Darvin Adams. “It was different guys and different times stepping up and making plays. We want to win 1-0, as long as we get one more point and get the win.”
