Well that was enjoyable. Especially after the Cats were down 8 zip after the first quarter. Probably the play of the game was Dee Webb blocking an Eskimo kick and then Bakari Grant returning the ball for a TD with no time left. Grant seems to be returning to form after injury with four catches for 66 yards. Williams had another good game with 125 yards on eight catches plus a TD and Dave Stala had another strong game with 2 catches for 98 yards and a TD where he basically schooled the Eskimo defender. Cobourne had a good game with 121 yards on 18 touches with a TD. Not a great average, but he always had positive yards it seemed.
Burris had a good game with over 400 yards with 23 completions out of 33 attempts and 3 TDs, but he did have 2 picks.
The defence surprisingly stepped up with five sacks by five different quarterbacks. Considering the feeble amount of sacks the Cats had going in to the game, that was quite the accomplishment. Kerry Joseph couldn't seem to get much going after the first quarter and then it was all downhill for the Esks.
Certainly the win was important, pulling the Cats to within one game of Edmonton for a crossover spot and going two games ahead of Winnipeg. If the Cats can win next week in the Peg, that's pretty much it for the Bombers to catch the Cats for the East's final playoff spot.
Some weirdness in the game was at the end of the third quarter where there was a series of penalties that extended it. It was like the quarter that wouldn't end.
