Conservative play-calling got Winnipeg a 19-13 lead, then the defense detonated the plan

The Bombers deliberately avoided risk to protect a lead against a rookie quarterback, but the result was a franchise-record 377 rushing yards allowed, including 206 in the fourth quarter alone. Zander Horvath's 58- and 35-yard touchdown runs over the last 6:18 turned a cautious offensive game plan into the season's defining failure.
