Ultra-Conservative Play-Calling Set Up the Collapse

With 6:18 left and a 19-13 lead, Winnipeg's no-risk offense produced zero points the rest of the way while being out-scored 22-0. The Bombers managed just 3 points in the entire second half after scoring 16 in the first half, with Nic Demski admitting they "fell apart." What was designed to protect a lead against a rookie QB instead left the defense exposed — and the numbers show the offense never extended the margin.
