Lions shut down Collaros, Blue Bombers in Winnipeg to remain undefeated

Cheering and banging could be heard inside the visitors' dressing room as the B.C. Lions celebrated a rare feat with a dominant 30-6 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday.

The last time a CFL West Division team beat the Blue Bombers at home was the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sept. 8, 2018.

"No West team has won it here since 2018, that's amazing," Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. said.

"Our defence for the second week in a row doesn't give up a touchdown. They're lights out, man. I'm so proud of those guys. They work so hard. They push us in practice.

The Lions remain undefeated to start the season at 3-0 for the second straight year, something the club hasn't done since 1994-95.

The victory followed B.C.'s 22-0 win over the Edmonton Elks last week.

Winnipeg went to 2-1 in front of 25,662 fans at IG Field. The Bombers had put up 87 points in their two earlier wins.

Adams completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 237 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
