Medlock’s seventh field goal lifts Blue Bombers to wild 35-32 win over Lions
VANCOUVER — Down by 10 late in the fourth quarter, Matt Nichols could sense a familiar calm on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ sideline.
“There’s just no sense of panic,” said the veteran quarterback. “We’ve played in so many of these games this year. We just feel like we’re going to make the plays to win in the end. Having that confidence in those situations is half the battle.”
The Blue Bombers took advantage of the sloppy B.C. Lions to score 13 points over the game’s final three minutes, including Justin Medlock’s seventh field goal of the night with 14 seconds to go Friday, to pick up a crucial 35-32 victory in the CFL’s West Division.
“We faced a lot of adversity,” said Winnipeg running back Andrew Harris. “We stuck it out and stuck together.”
