The Winnipeg Blue Bombers gave up 19 unanswered fourth quarter points and lost 31-28 in overtime to the Ottawa Redblacks at TD Place Stadium.

Crum, making his first start in the CFL, threw for 261 yards and ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Winnipeg pivot Zach Collaros tossed touchdown passes to Drew Wolitarsky and Nic Demksi. Ottawa defensive back Brandin Dandridge sparked the Redblacks comeback when he returned a Collaros interception 25 yards to pay dirt with 2:29 left the fourth quarter. The successful two-point convert cut Winnipeg’s lead to 25-17. The Blue Bombers (4-2) next game is Thursday, July 20th against the Edmonton Elks at IG Field.
