Bombers' Week 21 Trip to BC Place Is a Two-Score Game, Not a Must-Win
Winnipeg's 7-6 record is deadlocked with B.C., but the season series isn't — the Lions' 16-point win in the first meeting means the Bombers must either beat B.C. at BC Place in Week 21 or lose by 15 or fewer to claim the tiebreaker.

Toronto had just handed him the keys — and the money — as the face of the franchise. Publicly, the organization circled the wagons. Privately? I've talked to people in that building. Not everyone in that locker room was thrilled about hitching the season to a guy who'd just been suspended over how he treated a staffer. Then the football gods got cute. Kelly goes down with a leg injury in the East Final against Montreal. In walks Nick Arbuckle — a 31-year-old journeyman who'd bounced around the league, making a backup's salary. On Nov. 17, 2024, at BC Place, Arbuckle doesn't just manage the game
