Winnipeg’s inability to close is becoming a home-field pattern, not a one-off bad night.

Against B.C., the Bombers led 19-13 with 6:10 remaining and then surrendered 206 fourth-quarter rushing yards in a 35-19 loss. With the team now 4-4 entering its second bye week, that marks consecutive home defeats at Princess Auto Stadium in front of 31,509 fans each time. The fourth-quarter scoring gap alone — 25-3 in B.C.’s favour — is the kind of crunch-time collapse that keeps Winnipeg stuck in the middle of the West.
