Roughriders Top Blue Bombers 21-13 After Hit Forces Zach Collaros From Banjo Bowl

The hit was his third game-ending blow this season, intensifying worries about Winnipeg’s quarterback depth.

Overview

  • Winnipeg’s starter left late in the third quarter after a blindsiding head-contact hit by Saskatchewan defensive back C.J. Reavis, remained down for minutes, then walked to the locker room.
  • Officials upheld a Blue Bombers challenge for roughing the passer on the play, nullifying a fumble and restoring possession.
  • Saskatchewan closed out a 21-13 win behind Brett Lauther’s five field goals, improving to 10-2 as Winnipeg fell to 6-6.
  • Before exiting, Collaros was 9-of-15 for 165 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, and Winnipeg had led 13-6 at halftime.
  • Chris Streveler went 5-of-9 for 39 yards with two interceptions in relief, including one in the final minutes.
