And just like that, it\u2019s Week 2 of the Canadian Football League season.<\/p>\n

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats travel to Winnipeg to face the Blue Bombers as the two teams play their second games of the young campaign on Thursday night at Princess Auto Stadium.<\/p>\n

Hamilton is coming off a tough 30-27 overtime loss to the Montreal Alouettes, while Winnipeg won a thriller of their own, 30-28 over Calgary, on a last second field goal from Sergio Castillo.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s three keys to victory for both teams ahead of Thursday\u2019s 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff which can be watched on TSN and RDS2 in Canada, on CBSSN in the U.S., and on CFL+ internationally.<\/p>\n

Watch live. Hamilton Tiger-Cats @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers, June 12, 02:30 CET (2:30 am, 8:30 pm June 11 ET)<\/a>
\nHAMILTON TIGER-CATS<\/p>\n

1. PASS DEFENCE<\/p>\n

No team allowed more passing yards in Week 1 than the Ticats with 336. Defensive backs\u00a0Stavros Katsantonis<\/a>,\u00a0Jamal Peters<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Destin Talbert<\/a>\u00a0have the responsibility of keeping tabs on old friend\u00a0Tim White<\/a>, who led the Bombers in receiving yards with 60 in their opener.<\/p>\n

2. DON\u2019T FORGET ABOUT THE RUN<\/p>\n

The outcome of this game may well come down to how the Tiger-Cats perform on the defensive side of the ball. The front held the Alouettes to 80 rushing yards but will get a significant test this week in running back\u00a0Brady Oliveira<\/a>. It\u2019s going to take a full effort from defensive lineman\u00a0Mario Kendricks Jr.<\/a>\u00a0through linebacker\u00a0Reggie Stubblefield<\/a>\u00a0to stall one of the league\u2019s best rushers.<\/p>\n

3. RUN GAME OF THEIR OWN<\/p>\n

Five different players ran the ball a week ago, although head coach Scott Milanovich would surely like someone to carry the load.\u00a0Larry Rountree III<\/a>\u00a0will get the opportunity, but he\u2019ll need to improve on his 2.9 yards per carry in Game 1 to prove he\u2019s the guy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS<\/p>\n

1. KEEP SHARING THE LOOKS<\/p>\n

Quarterback\u00a0Zach Collaros<\/a>\u00a0found three different receivers for 50 or more yards versus the Stampeders and none of them were named\u00a0Nic Demski<\/a>. If White,\u00a0Tommy Nield<\/a>,\u00a0Ontaria Wilson<\/a>\u00a0and Demski can all be viable targets, it\u2019ll be a handful for the Ticats secondary.<\/p>\n

2. FEROCIOUS FRONT<\/p>\n

Against a team that loves to put the ball in the air, shutting it downs starts at the line of scrimmage. And the Bombers are well equipped to do it. Between defensive lineman\u00a0Jake Ceresna<\/a>\u2019s ability to get into the backfield and the long arms of\u00a0Willie Jefferson<\/a>\u00a0knocking down passes, Ticats pivot\u00a0Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0will need to be as quick as he is accurate.<\/p>\n

3. REDHA KRAMDI GETTING COMFORTABLE<\/p>\n

After spending much of 2025 at linebacker, head coach Mike O\u2019Shea is looking to use the versatile\u00a0Redha Kramdi<\/a>\u00a0more at defensive back this season. His athleticism allows him to do it, but he\u2019ll have a tall order this week trying to shut down\u00a0Kenny Lawler<\/a>,\u00a0Kiondr\u00e9 Smith<\/a>,\u00a0Kurleigh Gittens Jr.<\/a>\u00a0and former teammate\u00a0Keric Wheatfall<\/a>.<\/p>\n
