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.

For the most part, it's been a tough start to the season for the Parkland Midget Rangers.
They can change that in a hurry tonight when they welcome the Eastman Selects to town.
Last week the Rangers (1-4) played the Selects and Eastman easily beat Parkland 11-1.
Since that, the Rangers have had some time to practice and prepare for what should be another tough battle tonight.
The highlight of last weeks game was a 70-save performance from Zach Grouette.
Tonight's game is the first of two straight for Parkland. They'll welcome Central Plains to town tomorrow afternoon.
Game time tonight is set for 7:30.

It's time to bounce back for the Dauphin Kings.
Coming off two straight losses, the club rolls into Bell MTS Iceplex this evening to challenge the Winnipeg Blues.
In the first meeting between the clubs, the Kings came back from a 2-0 deficit to pick up two points in a 4-2 win.
Last night, Dauphin also led by two goals but ended up falling to Selkirk.
A win tonight could perhaps be a small leap in what the Kings hope to be their first extended winning streak of the season. After this evening's contest, the Kings will stay on the road for two more games. They'll take on OCN on Tuesday and Waywayseecappo on Friday before returning home on Saturday.
If Dauphin wants to have success tonight, they'll need to crash the net more often. On Riley Buller's goal last night he crashed the net, but other than that, the Kings failed to really crash the paint.
The Kings will also look to sharpen things up on the powerplay. After going 6-13 in their three previous games heading into last night, the club failed to record a PP goal which included a 6 on 4 late in the game. Dauphin finished 0-4 on the night.
Whatever happens, you can hear it all right here on 730CKDM. The Parkland Source for Sports pregame show hits the airwaves at 6:45. Puck drop is 7:00 p.m.
