The Blue Bombers star running back said he and the offence are ready to take on the CFL's best run defence at a sold-out Princess Auto Stadium on Friday, where a Winnipeg victory would earn the team a ninth consecutive win and clinch first place in the CFL West Division with the reward of hosting the final on Nov.

Jake Ceresna credited a collective defensive effort for the Toronto Argonauts’ 14-11 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. The veteran defensive lineman notched one of seven sacks on Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros in a win that secured a playoff spot for Toronto and denied Winnipeg’s attempt to clinch first place in the CFL West Division.

Zach Collaros was sacked seven times by a ferocious Toronto Argonauts defence as the Bombers fell 14-11 Friday night and their eight-game win streak came to an end. Winnipeg fell to 10-7 on the season and was unable to clinch top spot in the West, but can still do so this week if Saskatchewan loses to B.C. Saturday.

Brady Oliveira ran for a season-high 147 yards and a touchdown to power the Winnipeg Blue Bombers past the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 31-10 on Friday night. Winnipeg (10-6) earned an eighth straight win to open a five-point lead over second-place Saskatchewan (7-7-1) in the West Division.
