Edmonton Elks Secure Home Field for CFL West Final with Victory Over Blue Bombers

The Edmonton Elks have clinched the opportunity to host the CFL West final for the first time since 2015, following a 35-27 victory against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Cody Fajardo contributed significantly to the win, scoring two rushing touchdowns and passing for two more. He completed 12 of 17 passes for 120 yards. The Elks' coach expressed pride in the team's performance, highlighting the importance of winning in front of their home fans.

The Blue Bombers, who are now 8-9, missed their chance to secure a playoff spot but could still qualify if Calgary loses in their upcoming game. Winnipeg's quarterback Zach Collaros acknowledged the impact of turnovers on the game, noting that mistakes were costly. The Elks have now won three consecutive games against the Bombers, marking a notable achievement for the team.
