Winnipeg wins the Grey Cup on a tipped interception, a breakdown

NFL

What Happened

In the 109th Grey Cup championship game, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats battle it out in a thrilling finish. With the game tied 33-33 in the final minute, Hamilton quarterback Dane Evans drops back to pass, looking to lead his team down the field for a game-winning score. As Evans scans the field, Winnipeg linebacker Adam Bighill reads the play and jumps the route, tipping the pass high into the air. Defensive back Nick Taylor reacts quickly, tracking the ball and making a leaping interception near the sideline to give the Blue Bombers possession with under a minute remaining. "I just tried to get a good jam on the receiver, and then I saw the ball tipped up in the air," Taylor says. "I just tried to make a play on it." With the crowd at Mosaic Stadium roaring, Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros takes a knee to run out the clock. The Blue Bombers have captured their 12th Grey Cup championship, their first title since 1990. "That's what championship football is all about - making those kinds of plays when the game is on the line," says Winnipeg head coach Mike O'Shea. "Our defense stepped up and made the play we needed." Hamilton head coach Orlondo Steinauer praises his team's effort, despite the heartbreaking finish. "We battled until the end, but they made one more play than we did," Steinauer says. "That's what it comes down to in a championship game." The win is especially sweet for the Blue Bombers, who have endured a 29-year Grey Cup drought. Veteran defensive lineman Willie Jefferson, who records three sacks in the game, embraces his teammates as they celebrate the long-awaited title. "This is what we've worked for all season long," Jefferson says. "To finally get it done, it's an unbelievable feeling. We're bringing that Grey Cup back to Winnipeg!" The Blue Bombers' thrilling come-from-behind victory caps off an exciting CFL season and leaves the Hamilton Tiger-Cats heartbroken, just short of their first championship since 1999.
