The Ottawa REDBLACKS came up just short of their second incredible comeback in only five days, Thursday night in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
Down by 14 points in the final minutes, and with Dru Brown sidelined due to a third-quarter lower body injury, a touchdown pass by Dustin Crum to Justin Hardy, and 117-yard missed field goal return touchdown by Kalil Pimpleton tied it at 27-27, but a Sergio Castillo field goal at the buzzer walked it off for the home team.<\/p>\n
Down 20-3 to begin the second half, Brown engineered a drive deep into Bomber territory, but was injured on an incredible scramble pass to William Stanback. Dustin Crum scampered into the end zone on the next play to make it a 10-point game.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg opened the fourth quarter with a four-yard touchdown run by Brady Oliveria. Lewis Ward tacked on a field foal with 10:24 to play, and with 2:40 to go, Crum capped off a long drive by finding Hardy in the end zone. <\/p>\n
The home side appeared to be in good shape from there, but a 57-yard attempt by Castillo to put a bow on the game was fielded by Pimpleton, who broke free for another magical run to tie the game with just 53 seconds to play.<\/p>\n
Zach Collaros\u2019 threw an interception to REDBLACKS rookie King Ambers on the ensuing possession, but Ottawa was forced to punt, and the Bombers needed only two plays for the 47-yard game winner.<\/p>\n
Ottawa will look to get back in the win column next Friday, hosting the Edmonton Elks in a 7:30pm kickoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ottawa REDBLACKS came up just short of their second incredible comeback in only five days, Thursday night…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-77868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
