The Fifth Quarter

GAME BALLS:

�ñº OFFENCE

Tough to pick one guy from the balanced attack the Bombers put forth, but let’s go with WR Terence Jeffers-Harris. The rookie hauled in a 60-yard pass for a touchdown in the third quarter. He finished with 152 yards and two TDs.

�ñº DEFENCE

Bombers DT Doug Brown had an active game, finding a way to make an impact in numerous plays. He ended his night with six tackles and kept a pesky Toronto run-game hell-bent on coming inside at bay.

�ñº SPECIAL TEAMS

No question here. Has to go to Argos returner Chad Owens. He transformed a Winnipeg FG miss into a 117-yard touchdown, giving the visitors a 31-27 lead early in the fourth quarter. The visitors never looked back from that point.

CRITICAL NUMBER:

2

Pierce had a fumble and an interception in the first quarter, turnovers which limited the home side in the momentum department to start the game.

FAN-O-METER:

Winnipeg QB Buck Pierce’s 43-yard run to the house nearly brought the house down in the second quarter. The scamper came after Pierce was forced to leave the game after taking a hard shot from the Toronto defence a few plays earlier.
