Andrew Harris rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers extended their winning streak to six games with a 30-3 loss to the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
It was the twenty-seventh time in his 11-year career that the Winnipeg-born Harris rushed more than 100 yards in one game. He scored both of his TDs in the fourth quarter.
Edmonton quarterback Trevor Harris, in his first start after missing two games with a neck injury, completed 9 of 22 passes for 87 yards and there were no picks.
He was replaced by Taylor Cornelius three minutes into the fourth, who completed 6 of 13 for 47 yards and an interception.
Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 207 yards with a 16-yard TD shot to Nic Demski and an interception.
Winnipeg has now won 16 of its last 17 games at IG Field, with 27,388 fans attending Friday’s game.
The Bombers increased their CFL record to 8-1, while the Elks suffered their fourth loss in a row and fell to 2-6.
Both teams will play again on October 15 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
