The Bombers’ sack surge is real — but it isn’t translating into late-game stops when games

Willie Jefferson and Jake Ceresna are tied for the CFL lead with six sacks each, and Winnipeg’s 17 sacks are tied for second with Saskatchewan, one behind Calgary — a massive jump from a league-worst 23 all last season. PFF credits the defence with the highest QB-pressure rate so far, yet the unit was outscored 25-3 in the fourth quarter against B.C. while allowing 206 rushing yards in that frame. This is a situational pressure problem, not a talent one.
