The 1-4 Curse in One-Score Games: Final-Drive Failures Are a Pattern, Not an Accident

Four of Winnipeg’s five losses have been decided by three points or less, including the walk-off field goal in Edmonton. In the final drive, the offence failed to convert a 2nd-and-3 when Poke Wilson’s catch was ruled out of bounds, and the defence allowed a 14-play, 65-yard drive without a single pressure—leaving the game on a kicker’s foot for the fourth time this season.
