Blue Bombers Win Eastern Semifinal Against Argonauts
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers secured a 25-22 victory over the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL Eastern semifinal on October 31, 2026, with backup quarterback Dru Brown throwing a 23-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds remaining to clinch the win. This victory advances Winnipeg to the Eastern Final against the Montreal Alouettes. Both teams entered the game with 9-9 records, and Winnipeg started Dru Brown after starter Zach Collaros was injured.
The matchup was highly anticipated, with analysts favoring Toronto to win, but the Blue Bombers rallied late to overcome four turnovers and claim the narrow victory at BMO Field in Toronto. The win sets up a conference championship showdown in Montreal for Winnipeg.
