Nichols leads Blue Bombers past Lions 37-35 as Winnipeg fends off late charge
WINNIPEG — Matt Nichols had a vision he would catch a touchdown pass on Saturday instead of just throwing them.
The Blue Bomber quarterback’s wish came true when he caught a four-yard pass for a score in Winnipeg’s wild 37-35 victory over the B.C. Lions.
“It’s kind of weird. I kind of saw myself doing that today,” Nichols said with a chuckle.
“And then before the game, (offensive co-ordinator Paul LaPolice) kind of told me, ‘Hey, get me down to the five on the right hash (mark) and we’ll call it.’ “
