The Ottawa Redblacks suffered their 15th consecutive loss, falling to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33-21. Despite a promising start with an early field goal, the Redblacks, now 0-9, are struggling heavily this season, eclipsing the modern record for most consecutive losses. Brady Oliveira shone for the Bombers, rushing for 70 yards and a touchdown, while quarterback Zach Collaros returned successfully after injury. Winnipeg improved to 5-4, snapping a two-game losing streak at home.

By the Numbers
  • Redblacks' current losing streak reaches 15 games, a modern record.
  • Brady Oliveira has surpassed 6,212 career rushing yards, moving up the CFL all-time list.
Yes, But

While the Redblacks' losses are alarming, Winnipeg's recent performance indicates hope for their playoff prospects following a tough start. Additionally, Collaros's return could stabilize the Bombers' offense moving forward.

State of Play
  • Winnipeg improved their home record to 2-4 this season.
  • Ottawa remains winless at the bottom of the standings, with no playoff chances following a historically bad start.
What's Next

Ottawa's upcoming matchup against the Montreal Alouettes will be critical as they seek to end their losing streak. Conversely, the Bombers will look to sustain their momentum in their next game against the Edmonton Elks.

Bottom Line

The Redblacks must drastically improve to avoid setting further records for consecutive losses, while the Bombers have regained crucial momentum that could propel them into a playoff position if their recent performance continues.
