138 \u2014 JUSTIN RANKIN RUSHING YARDS<\/p>\n
Edmonton\u2019s offence had multiple moving parts that helped them succeed on Saturday night, and Rankin\u2019s impact was a massive part of that as he tallied 138 yards and a touchdown in the win including a 64 yard run that resulted in the score that put Edmonton ahead by eight.<\/p>\n
His 138-yard performance is his second highest this season, trailing only a 204-yard performance against Calgary in Week 14, and his 18 carries in one game are the most this season. His touchdown also marks two weeks in a row with a score for the Elks.<\/p>\n
600+ \u2014 YARDS OF NET OFFENCE BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS<\/p>\n
Both teams fought until the final whistle in this showdown, and it was apparent as each team tallied over 300 yards of net offence with the Blue Bombers accounting for 326 yards on 50 plays while the Elks tallied 307 yards on 49 plays.<\/p>\n
Both teams had a running back with over 115 yards as well as a receiver with over 65 yards in the game, while Winnipeg got the edge under centre with Collaros putting up 60 more yards than Fajardo with 202 compared to 142. Despite not tallying a passing touchdown, Fajardo did more than enough to move to 6-5 on the season and keep Edmonton in the playoff race.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2 \u2014 INTERCEPTIONS FROM ELKS DEFENCE<\/p>\n
With both Edmonton\u2019s offence and special teams scoring, the Elks defence deserves their flowers from recording a sack, two tackles for loss and two interceptions that were crucial in getting the ball back into Cody Fajardo<\/a>\u2018s hands on Saturday.<\/p>\n
