Nichols completed 32 of 40 passes for 390 yards and one touchdown, while adding 23 yards on three carries, including a TD, in the club’s 33-26 victory over the previously undefeated Eskimos.

Harris rushed for 105 yards on 11 carries while also catching eight passes for 120 yards. He’s the first running back since 2010 to catch and run for 100 yards in a game. He’s also the first Blue Bomber to achieve the feat since 2002.
