Game Preview: Bombers Still Looking For Win #1: Winnipeg vs. Ottawa by Don Cruickshank
Ottawa’s quarterback Dru Brown will face his old team for the 2nd time so far this season after Ottawa won in week 2 over Winnipeg 19-23. So far this season Brown has completed 60.7% of his passes for 795 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception over 3 games.
Winnipeg has struggled offensively and has been the victim of many injuries. Quarterback Zach Collaros is questionable for Friday. If he is unable to play Chris Streveler is expected to star who led a 4th quarter game-tying drive in week 4 although Winnipeg was unable to win in overtime.
