STORYLINES

Can the Bombers take the ball away? The Bombers lived and died by the turnover this season, producing a league-best plus-29 ratio. They were 11-1 when they won the turnover battle and 0-6 when they didn’t.

Is Jennings ready to win? Young Lions quarterbac­k Jonathon Jennings got smoked in last year’s West semifinal and occasional­ly makes the deadly decision. He needs to take whatever the Bombers give him.

Who will make the game winning field goal? The Lions dusted off 46-year-old kicker Paul McCallum to handle the field goal duties, while the Bombers have Justin Medlock, who set the CFL single season record with 60 field goals.
