Winnipeg’s special teams are now a binary win condition—one week a return TD masks a minus

The Bombers lost the turnover battle 2-0 against Edmonton and lost 35-27; the prior week they also lost the turnover battle 2-0 but beat Calgary thanks in part to Trey Vaval’s return touchdown. That two-game pattern shows the margin for error is razor-thin: when the return-game bailout disappears, the giveaways become the story.
