The sack resurgence is real, but it is a two-player contract risk

Winnipeg’s 17 sacks through eight games are tied for second in the CFL after the club managed just 23 all last season — but Willie Jefferson and Jake Ceresna have combined for 12 of those 17, or 70.6%. The front office fixed its bottom-ranked pass rush with one dominant tandem, not a true rotation, meaning an injury to either player would likely send the pressure rate back to 2024 levels.
