And yet, you get the sense the veteran running back from Winnipeg is not all that comfortable with front-runner status.

“There’s definitely a lot of buzz,” he said. “But, for us, we’ve got to think of us still as the underdog.

“For me, I’m definitely trying to instill that in the guys. We can’t be drinking our own juice — we’ve got to stay with that chip on our shoulder and play every game as if we’re 0-1 and we’ve got to get a win. As much as the fans and the city are excited, we’ve got to stay humble here and keep working hard.”

As quarterback Matt Nichols puts it, the Bombers have to work hard to block out the outside noise when they are struggling and they have to the same thing when they are having success.
