The Winnipeg Blue Bombers lost the first two games of the season against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but they sure didn't lose the third.

Playing in the team's third and final regular season meeting, the Bombers crushed the Riders 31-0 at Investors Group Field.

In front of a crowd of just over 26-thousand, the Bombers jumped out to a 14-0 lead after 15 minutes, and extended that to a 31-0 lead at halftime.

Matt Nichols was okay throwing for one touchdown, which turned out to be a 72-yarder, but it was really the clubs defence that stole the show today.

Adam Bighill led the club with eight tackles and three quarterback sacks. Also on the defensive side of the ball, Taylor Loffler had two interceptions.

With the win, the Bombers are now 9-7 on the season and have won four straight games.

The Blue & Gold now head into their Bye Week. They'll play Calgary in two weeks time, and finish off their regular season on November 3 against the Edmonton Eskimos.
