He caught fire when the score was well in hand for Montreal, that’s how.

When Jamel Richardson hauled in his second TD pass of the evening, that made the score 29-10 Montreal with seven minutes left to play in the game. Brink, who led the Bombers offence to three straight two-and-outs in the third quarter, lit it up right after the Richardson score, going 12-of-16 for 175 yards passing and putting up two more Winnipeg majors as the fans stormed to the exits.

Blue Bombers QB Alex Brink lit it up when it was too late. Fans were already barging out of the stadium when his hand got hot.
