Overview

• Justin Rankin broke a third-down run for a 64-yard touchdown, followed by Kordell Jackson's 47-yard fumble return to build a 25-10 lead.
• Winnipeg closed to 25-20, but Edmonton's defense produced three late third-down stops to seal it.
• The Elks improved to 7-9 and remain last in the West, sitting two points behind the Blue Bombers, who retain the head-to-head tiebreaker on aggregate.
• Edmonton must win its final two games to qualify, with a trip to the B.C. Lions next week before a season finale against the Calgary Stampeders.
• Rankin's late-season surge continued days after he signed an extension through 2027, reinforcing an offense coaches say has recently found its stride.
