Winnipeg Advances To Fourth Straight Grey Cup After Win Over BC
Their defence also dominated with 3 INT's, 2 fumbles, and 10 sacks.
Winnipeg is moving on to Hamilton for the Grey Cup for the fourth straight year. In 2019 they played Hamilton and beat them 33-12 in an upset. 2021 was the next Grey Cup because there was no 2020 season, when they played Hamilton again, in Hamilton, the final was 33-25. Last year, they played Toronto and got stunned 24-23 in the last two minutes. Now their 24-13 win over the BC Lions sends them there again, where they will face the Montreal Alouettes and their great defence.
Montreal had a great defence with their 9 turnovers, but Winnipeg was good too. Willie Jefferson had a fumble recovered and had 2 sacks. Kyrie Wilson had an interception and one sack. Evan Holm had an interception, Jamal Parker had a fumble recovered, Demerio Houston had a huge interception when BC was driving, and Jackson Jeffcoat. They ended with 10 sacks. Zach Collaros had only 158 yards, but Brady Oliveira had 109 yards and one touchdown. Kenny Lawler had 83 yards receiving. As good as the team is, the kicker is not too good, 3/5 on field goals with a long of 35. He also had one Single.
Vernon Adams Jr. was 13/26 with 221 yards 1 touchdown, and the three interceptions. Taquan Mizzell had 37 rushing yards, and Justin Mclnnis had 110 yards and 1 touchdown. Sean Whyte was 2/2 kicking with 48 being the longest. The defence did not force any turnovers and only had 2 sacks. VA was getting hit left and right, but when he threw an interception late, he hustled and tackled him on the five. Unlike Chad Kelly, he hustled even though he was limping, and tackled him. Props to VA for that.
