The Hamilton Tiger-Cats spoiled Winnipeg's home opener with a 37-27 victory on a rainy Thursday night in front of a sellout crowd. Hamilton dominated the first half, scoring three touchdowns and leading 24-10 at halftime after accumulating 455 yards of net offense. The Bombers' defense struggled significantly, recording only one sack and allowing former Bombers receiver Keric Wheatfall to record 102 receiving yards. Winnipeg mounted a fourth-quarter comeback with touchdowns from Nic Demski, Ontaria Wilson, and Bryce Perkins, but could not overcome the deficit. Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros threw for 421 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, while Tiger-Cats quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell had three passing touchdowns and 287 yards. The loss dropped Winnipeg to 1-1 on the season, and they will have a bye week before facing Edmonton on June 25.
