Banjo Bowl dominance was a high-wire PI gamble.

Winnipeg allowed only 6 points, 278 net yards, 16 first downs, and four second-down conversions in the 19-6 win, while drawing just one pass interference flag. DC Jordan Younger admitted "maybe a couple" PI calls went Winnipeg's way, including Ridge Texada's non-call on a 41-yard deep shot to Shemar Bridges on the third play from scrimmage. Redha Kramdi's return helped communication and produced an interception off Trevor Harris.
