But Brown comes back in on third down and his Nic Demski for a nine-yard gain and the first down. Winnipeg is a perfect 3-for-3 on third down tonight. TOUCHDOWN! Lions 27, Bombers 17; 3Q, 7:52: It proves costly as on the very next play, Brown heaves a ball into the end zone, where Dalton Schoen continues his hot play, catching the 22-yard touchdown. He’d already set the record for rookie touchdowns with 14, and needs three more to catch B. ’s David Williams (18, 1981) for No. 1 all-time. That was his first catch of the night, and he’s now 235 yards shy of the rookie receiving mark of 1, 530 set in 1991.

They will face an Elks team that is on a historic 16-game home losing streak, a skid that was extended after they blew a fourth-quarter lead with 27 seconds left, falling 28-23 to the Toronto Argonauts.

The Johnny-on-the-spot official calls a B. touchdown. 2Q, 0:02: B. tries to squib the kick, but Flintoft doesn’t get it over the initial line of blockers and Winnipeg’s Redha Kramdi returns it 12 yards to B. ’s 46. Liegghio comes on for the 53-yard field goal, but comes up short for the second time tonight. Williams, who has to be exhausted with all the work he’s done, brings it back 24 yards to end the half.
Only a shoestring tackle keeps him from taking it to the house (again) against B. Interlude: There’s a lot of Bombers fans in the house tonight, with scattered pockets of blue all over the stadium. Probably the best visitor representation outside of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. 1Q, 2:14: If there’s one thing the Lions need tonight, it’s balance. Give the ball to James Butler to take the pressure off of Vernon Adams.

Place gets an assist as the replay shows Bailey’s feet might have been off the ground when he made the catch. Rick Campbell throws the challenge flag for the second time tonight. But the play stands as the replays are inconclusive when Bailey had possession. 3Q, 9:20: TJ Lee sniffs out which way Dakota Prukop is going on the short yardage sneak and brings him down behind the line.
1Q, 11:19: A massive hit by Tyneil Cooper on Rasheed Bailey sets the tone on defence for B. as he reads the quick out to the wide receiver perfectly, timing his boom stick just as the ball arrived. FIELD GOAL! Lions 7, Bombers 3; 1Q, 6:43: The Bombers put together a decent drive — 44 yards to the B. 31 — but it’s stuffed by a Sione Teuhema sack that leads to a 38-yard field goal from Marc Liegghio. 1Q, 4:44: The Lions go two-and-out — a hesitation by Adams causes a sack, then he’s incomplete to Dominque Rhymes on the deep ball on the sideline — before Janarion Grant returns it 36 yards to the 54.

Brown, in his first career CFL start, was 28-of-39 for 325 yards and three touchdowns, along with the two interceptions returned for scores.
