I have got to help our defence out.\u201d<\/p>\n Streveler\u2019s interception on the team\u2019s third play from scrimmage eventually led to a Bo Levi Mitchell seven-yard touchdown pass to running back Greg Bell.<\/p>\n His second pick turned into a seven-yard Mitchell pass to Tim White with 34 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Ticats a 20-10 lead.<\/p>\n Hamilton defender Jamal Peters picked off the first ball and returned it to the Winnipeg seven-yard line. DaShaun Amos knocked Nic Demski aside to grab the second pick, returning the ball to the Winnipeg 26.<\/p>\n The Winnipeg Sun’s Daily Headline News<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n \u201cThe first (interception) was a screen pass, the corner shot. He made a good play,\u201d Streveler said. \u201cThe next play was a roll-out (on man-to-man coverage) and, again, the defensive back made a good play. I just have to make better decisions and have got to put us in better positions.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought our defence played well, but when they get a short field twice and they capitalize with points like that, it is hard to win games.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the difficult field position following the interceptions, Bombers head coach Mike O\u2019Shea was hoping his defence could have bailed out the offence.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce again, it is too easy to finger point at one thing,\u201d O\u2019Shea said. \u201cYou would like a better three-phase game, where if we happen to give a ball away, that we hold them to a field goal or no points. Take the ball back. Hold them to a single. Whatever it is. But it didn\u2019t work out that way.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Winnipeg has a minus\u201312 turnover ratio through 13 games.
