Neufeld's three penalties are a calculated price for offensive line intimidation

Patrick Neufeld drew three of Winnipeg's six flags, including two roughness calls, while the team matched Montreal's penalty count exactly (6-6). Head coach Mike O'Shea publicly endorsed the "edge" after the game, indicating the Bombers are willing to sacrifice 15-yarders to set a physical tone against a rival defense that "gets after people" — a deliberate trade-off that disrupts opponent rhythm more than it costs field position.
