Bomber quarterback Tom Burgess passed for three touchdowns and was named the game’s top offensive player.
Winnipeg set a Grey Cup record by scoring 28 consecutive points in the third quarter as it won its second CFL title in three years. The Bombers edged the B.C. Lions by one point in the 1988 Grey Cup.
