HAMILTON \u2014 Taylor Elgersma led the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to a come-from-behind victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on FanDuel Canada Day Weekend.<\/p>\n

Elgersma\u2019s first CFL touchdown, Brady Oliveira\u2019s \u201cbully ball\u201d on the game-winning drive and the Winnipeg defence shutting the door in the second half powered the Bombers to a 14-13 victory over the Ticats on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

CFL.ca brings you three key stats from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers\u2019 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on FanDuel Canada Day Weekend.<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 BLUE BOMBERS TOUCHDOWN<\/p>\n

Winnipeg needed just one touchdown to secure the victory on Sunday night. Rookie Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma was thrust into action in place of Zach Collaros, who left the game with an upper body injury, and he did what he needed to do to help his team win their first game since Week 1.<\/p>\n

The comeback started when Elgersma scored his first CFL touchdown, a shovel pass to Ontara Wilson for a 31-yard, catch-and-run into the end zone.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 BRADY OLIVEIRA RUSHES ON FINAL DRIVE<\/p>\n

The Blue Bombers offence runs through Brady Oliveira<\/a> and that was no more apparent than on the game-winning drive.<\/p>\n

With Winnipeg trailing by two points, all the Blue and Gold had to do was drain the clock and move into field goal range for Sergio Castillo<\/a> to kick the game-winning score. Sounds like a job for the Bombers\u2019 bruising running back, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Offensive coordinator Tommy Condell called on Oliveira seven straight times to move the chains, setting up Castillo\u2019s 23-yard game-winner with just 22 seconds left on the clock.<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 HAMILTON POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF<\/p>\n

Winnipeg\u2019s defence shut the door in the second half, giving their offence a chance to seal the tightly contested game.<\/p>\n

With both Tre Ford<\/a> and Jake Dolegala<\/a> seeing action after Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a> left the game with a lower body injury, the Tiger-Cats didn\u2019t score a single point in the second half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner,\u00a0World Vision Canada\u00a0works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful change for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":783271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,44],"class_list":["post-783270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783270","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=783270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=783270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=783270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
