(Winnipeg) Zach Collaros threw two touchdown passes to help the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win a 15e game, a team record, with a 24-9 win over the BC Lions on Friday.
Posted yesterday at 11:50 p.m.
The Blue Bombers editions recorded 14-win seasons in 2001, 1993 and 1960.
The match, which was played in front of 23,685 spectators at IG Field, marked the end of both clubs’ regular season and did not affect playoff positioning.
The Blue Bombers (15-3) will take over on Nov. 13 when they host the Western Conference Finals. The Lions (12-6) will host the Calgary Stampeders in the Western semifinals on Nov. 6.
Collaros played the first quarter, completing four of his five pass attempts for 68 yards with touchdown passes to Dalton Schoen and Rasheed Bailey.
His two majors allowed him to reach 37 this season and he leads the CFL in this chapter.
All eyes were on Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke, who was playing his first game since suffering a foot injury Aug. 19 that required surgery.
Nathan Rourke completed seven of 11 passes for 68 yards before being substituted.
