Oliveira’s 4.75 YPC Was Winnipeg’s Hidden Down-Distance Stabilizer

Brady Oliveira carried 20 times for 95 yards — 4.75 per attempt — while Winnipeg’s offense struggled for three quarters and Brown went 18-of-30 for 206. That 95-yard rushing line was 31.6 percent of Winnipeg’s 301 combined pass-plus-rush yards and kept the Bombers in manageable downs long enough for the late Demski drive. The box score will credit the 23-yard winner; the quieter 4.75 YPC was the structural stabilizer.
