Winnipeg’s turnover margin is being masked by return-TD variance

The Bombers lost the turnover battle 2-0 to Edmonton and lost by eight; a week earlier they also lost the turnover battle 2-0 to Calgary but won because Trey Vaval returned a kick for a touchdown. That is not sustainable complementary football — it is special-teams variance hiding a minus-4 turnover margin over two games. When the return score doesn’t come, as it didn’t at Commonwealth Stadium, the offense’s 331 passing yards can’t cover the hidden-yardage deficit.
