Winnipeg won the first meeting, then lost the adjustment war in the rematch

The Alouettes explicitly "avenged their loss to the Bombers a few weeks ago," and the swing from a Winnipeg win to a 440-yard Montreal passing day is the signature of a staff that got out-adjusted, not out-talented. When a team beats you once and then hangs 440 on you in the rematch, the tell is coverage disguise and route concepts — Montreal changed the picture, Winnipeg didn't change the answer.
