Bombers Snap Three-Game Skid on Vaval Returns

A revamped lineup under coach Mike O’Shea enabled rookie Trey Vaval’s two return touchdowns to carry the Bombers past Toronto

Overview

  • O’Shea reshuffled personnel for the rematch—promoting rookie Joey Corcoran at receiver and inserting Reda Kramdi at safety—to address injuries and defensive lapses.
  • Chris Streveler stepped in for the injured Zach Collaros and finished with 173 passing yards plus a nine-yard rushing touchdown.
  • Trey Vaval recorded his first CFL scores on a 93-yard kickoff return and a 97-yard punt return, delivering 14 quick points for Winnipeg.
  • Defensive end Jay Person scored on a 28-yard fumble recovery and kicker Sergio Castillo connected on four field goals to extend the lead.
  • Winnipeg’s defence stood firm in the closing minutes to secure a 40-31 victory and improve the team’s record to 4-3.
