Playing not to lose against a rookie QB created a 19-point ceiling.

Winnipeg led 19-13 with 6:18 left after a night of conservative, no-turnover play-calling, but scored no fourth-quarter touchdowns and were outscored 22-0 to finish. Nic Demski’s own diagnosis — “we’ve got to do a better job of scoring touchdowns” — confirms the offence never stretched the field to put the game away.
