The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the B.C. Lions 28-20 to win the West Division Finals.
In front of a raucous hometown crowd, it was Canadian running back Brady Oliveira who set the Bombers up for a chance at the Grey Cup three-peat, running the ball 20 times for 130 yards and adding four receptions for 37 more through the air.
They could win three consecutive Grey Cup titles for the first time since 1982 (Edmonton) when they take on the Toronto Argonauts in the Grey Cup game in Regina next Sunday. The Argos defeated the Montreal Alouettes 34-27 in the East Division final.
Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros completed 14 of 20 passes for 178 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to receiver Dalton Schoen, with one interception.
Collaros finished the game 14-of-20 for 178 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a run-heavy affair. Expected to take home his second consecutive M.O.P trophy as a part of Grey Cup festivities, his health status will be the biggest story heading into next week.
