Neufeld's penalties were a calculated cost to establish a run game that shattered Montreal

Neufeld took two penalties—one negating a 16-yard Oliveira run, another turning 1st-and-goal from the 5 into a 20-yard Castillo field goal. Despite the lost points, Oliveira still averaged 6.6 YPC (106 yards on 16 carries) against the league's stingiest defence, proving the physical edge was worth the 4-point swing.
