👁🗨A reminder
Winnipeg hasn’t surrendered a rushing TD this year and just four offensive scores overall. The Bombers are allowing just 16 points and 13.2 offensive points per game, both league lows.
Stats guru Steve Daniels might have a good reason why.
Daniels notes Winnipeg hasn’t trailed in four straight games – the first time it’s done that since the final four contests of the ’81 campaign – and been behind for just 9:24 the entire season. Subsequently, with teams having to play catchup, they’re more lineky to abandon the run against the Bombers in favour of passing.
And with Nichols having completed his last 19 passes versus Ottawa, his streak will carry over against Hamilton. Should Nichols complete his next five pass attempts, he’ll break the league mark of 23 straight completions held by Ticats starter Jeremiah Masoli.
