The Scripted First-Half Mirage

The Bombers' 16-0 lead over Edmonton was built entirely on pre-scripted play-action passes, but the offense evaporated once the script ran out—managing just 3 points, 2 first downs, and 19 total yards in the second half. This isn't fatigue; it's a schematic failure. When the Elks adjusted their coverage shells, Winnipeg had no counter, abandoning the run and forcing Zach Collaros into predictable drop-backs that Montreal's aggressive front will feast on.
