Two quarterbacks with something to prove will face off when Bombers host Alouettes
WINNIPEG — Quarterbacks Matt Nichols and Johnny Manziel have a lot of prove on Friday.
Nichols wants to help end the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ four-game losing skid with a victory over Manziel and his Montreal Alouettes, and ensure he doesn’t get pulled at halftime like he did in a 32-27 loss to Saskatchewan on Sept. 8.
Manziel will try to show that he deserves to play more as he gets his third CFL start after recovering from a concussion in August and the flu last week.
Nichols threw three interceptions in the loss to the Roughriders, with two more not counting because of penalties.
