OTTAWA – Justin Medlock kicked six field goals, including one from 38 yards out as time expired, to give the Winnipeg Blue Bombers a 33-30 win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday.

Medlock kicked field goals of 35 and 40 and added a single point for the Bombers in the final three minutes to tie the game at 30 to set up his game-winning kick.

It was the second consecutive week the Bombers made an impressive comeback for a win. Last week quarterback Matt Nichols brought them back from 12 points down with less than a minute to play to beat the Montreal Alouettes.

After Medlock had tied the score at 23-23 just three minutes into the fourth quarter, Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris drove the Redblacks down field and connected with Greg Ellingson from 21 yards out at 9:25 of the fourth quarter. After the conversion from Brett Maher the Redblacks led 30-23.

Ottawa had a 23-20 lead going into the fourth quarter thanks to a 52-yard touchdown run by William Powell just 57 seconds into the second half and a two-point conversion catch by Brad Sinopoli.

Maher then kicked a 44-yard field goal to give the Redblacks a 23-17 lead before Medlock responded with a 36-yard field goal of his own to get Winnipeg a bit closer at 23-20.
