Blue Bombers 31, Redblacks 1

WINNIPEG — Running back John Crockett barfed on the field three times in one second-quarter drive Friday night, but you can bet the Ottawa Redblacks’ fanbase is even feeling sicker following their team’s 31-1 loss to the Blue Bombers.

“It was nothing,” said Crockett, maybe the only bright spot in the Redblacks’ offence. “It was too much fluid, I drank a lot of water before I went out there, then I got hit in the stomach.”

Not to sound an alarm bell, but with their 2019 season sliding in the wrong direction, the Redblacks need to figure out a way to get a lot better real fast.

“It is disappointing,” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said. “It was a hard-fought game in the first quarter, they made a big play which was a big momentum swing — we have to be good enough to overcome that and respond. We are not finding ways to make plays right now.”

Digest this: Quarterback Jonathon Jennings, in for injured Dominique Davis, completed 6-of-15 passes for 45 yards before being replaced by Will Arndt with 10 minutes left in the game. It’s not just the quarterback position that will be evaluated, there was a whole lot of bad stuff going on out there Friday.
